INSIDE BUCKHEAD’S NEW, ELITE SPEAKEASY I
f you haven’t heard about Buckhead’s newest speakeasy-style watering hole, Supply & Demand, you aren’t alone. Opened in September along Cains Hill Place behind Churchill’s British Pub, this 25-and-up bar is an intimate address that is easy to overlook. Though, according to founding partner Brandon Lewis, that’s part of the appeal. “The inspiration was built off of the Wall Street economic principle of supply and demand,” says Lewis. “We’re curating beverage sources with high or discerning tastes instead of mainstream tastes. The supply is going to be very limited, which will hopefully lead to a high demand.” Adding to Supply & Demand’s sense of exclusivity is its “members-only” requirement. While membership is free, patrons will have to be invited by the bar to become a member before they’re allowed into it. Membership is nontransferable. If and when you do finally get inside Supply & Demand, you’ll find a sort of Chops-meetsSt. Regis hybrid—very high-end, very Buckhead and very elite. The gleaming bar is the picture of opulence with $20,000 worth of mosaic
subway tile, a custom oak bar and tremendous amounts of white marble with seating at the bar and at small tables. Taken in its entirety, it’s the picture of a 1920s-1930s-era hideaway, aiming to attract both the glamorous socialite and the well-connected hipster. Lewis, who also owns Establishment, which relocated from Buckhead to Midtown this spring, has replicated the service and general vibe of Establishment here at Supply & Demand, and frequent visitors will notice the similarities. Though the menu is gourmet small bites (such as caviar), the focus here is on the hard-to-come-by liquor selection, featuring rare vintages of Japanese whiskey, scotches and bourbons, along with beer, wine and a “regal” list of what Lewis refers to as “craft-tails.” Open at 5 p.m. during the week and 7 or 8 p.m. on Saturday, the bar also hosts a deejay Friday and Saturday.
