One of the city’s oldest LGBTQ bars is coming back in a new location after a nearly two-year hiatus — and taking the place of a different LGBTQ bar in the process.

The Atlanta Eagle will take over the space currently occupied by Midtown Moon in the Ansley Square shopping center in Midtown, according to Eagle owner Richard Ramey. 

“We’re very excited to welcome everyone to the Atlanta Eagle — our Midtown Moon family, our Atlanta Eagle family,” he told WABE. “The Atlanta Eagle is a family bar and we’re looking forward to bringing the community together.”
