Decatur's Taco Mac To Close 12-14 Weeks For Renovation

Decatur sports fans, you'll need to find a new place to drink beer and watch the game with your buddies for a couple of months.

Taco Mac is shutting down for a big renovation, with the last day of business being this Sunday. Here's the information provided by Taco Mac corporate:

Atlanta-based TM Restaurant Group today announced that the Taco Mac Sports Grill in Decatur, located at 240 W Ponce de Leon Avenue, will undergo an extensive renovation project beginning August 5. The restaurant will be temporarily closing for the renovation project at close of business on Sunday, August 4.

The restaurant is planned to reopen in October with a fresh and exciting look. The interior design renovation features a new street-front patio along Ponce de Leon Avenue; an all-new and expanded bar area featuring 100 draft beer taps; new, more comfortable seating and upgraded LED HDTVs throughout the restaurant and bar. The project is expected to take 12-14 weeks to complete.

“After 12 years, it’s time to refresh this Taco Mac,” said Bob Campbell, Taco Mac CEO. “ We’re looking forward to the fresh, new look of this restaurant and the excitement we think it will bring to Decatur. We’re proud to be a part of this community and committed to investing in the Decatur Taco Mac.”

The restaurant opened in October 2001 on the same site and building.

The current restaurant management and staff are being redeployed to other area Taco Mac locations during the renovation.

Taco Mac selected award-winning design studio ai3, Inc. to envision and implement the renovation of the Decatur restaurant. ai3 has been responsible for the design of many of the restaurants that have shaped Atlanta’s vibrant dining scene, including Miller Union, 4th & Swift, Holeman & Finch and Lure.
