As the Roswell Tap approaches its one year anniversary, they are expanding their concept as a local watering hole with good food and looking to become a go-to spot for live music.
Sean McDonough knew he liked music; he also liked to invite people over to his house. Opening a neighborhood bar with great live music seemed like the perfect fit. So far, in the year it has been open, the Roswell Tap's reception has been even better than he could have hoped. Aiming to recreate a hangout like Eddie’s Attic in Decatur - known for giving the Indigo Girls their start - or Smith’s Olde Bar in Midtown - which has hosted such artists as David Bowie and Train - McDonough found backers and they opened the Roswell Tap on Alpharetta Street. “The goal was really just to highlight music, and in every case to highlight local music,” McDonough told Patch. In the past year, the Tap has done a lot more than that. Under chef Alana Taylor, …

Coming in late July, Table & Main plans to bring a local feel to Roswell's food scene.
Restaurants are inspired by many things. The inspiration behind one of Roswell’s newest additions says a lot about the restaurant’s goal for its service. Table & Main’s owner and general manager, Ryan Pernice, said The Band’s late-60’s hit song “The Weight” was on his mind a lot as he began envisioning the new restaurant on Canton Street in historic Roswell. The song describes a weary traveler in a town searching for a place to rest for the evening. Pernice felt the tone of the song was perfect for Table & Main, a place he sees as a home disguised as a restaurant, where guests can relax. “They can come in and take a load off for two hours and we’ll take care of them,” Pernice said. The homecoming description isn’t far off for Table & Main…

Not sure I will ever try this restaurant. Attended "Alive After 5" last week and when trying to turn around in their parking lot, I was accused of trespassing by a verbally abusive valet. Since I am over 60, I was surprised at how he spoke to me. That, along with the fact that this location used to be a funeral home, make it a hard choice for me, especially since Roswell has so many great … more ›
