Grant Henry, also known as Sister Louisa, is the owner and creator of Sister Louisa’s Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium, located on Edgewood Ave. When you walk into Church, as its patrons affectionately abbreviate it, you’ll know right away if it’s a place you want to be. The bar plays with and spoofs church culture.
Organ karaoke is performed in choir robes, and the walls are decorated with cheeky religious pop art created by the one and only Sister Louisa. Making light of religion is obviously not for everyone, yet since opening in 2010, Church has been wildly successful. It’s become a staple of the Atlanta bar scene, and a sister bar has since opened in Athens.
The story behind Sister Louisa’s Church is really the story of Grant Henry, and he joined “City Lights” senior producer Kim Drobes via Zoom to tell us about his life, his art and his bars.
