Women's Sports Bar Aims for Late Summer Opening in Atlanta

Jolene Jolene is closing in on its Atlanta-area location, owner Chelsea Fishman told Business Debut. She’s in the process of securing a lease and expects to announce a specific address in the next month or so, aiming for a late summer or early fall opening in the “Grant Park-ish” area.

The upcoming venue will be a full-service restaurant and bar focused on broadcasting women’s sports, a lifelong passion of Fishman’s, who played soccer throughout her youth, in college, and now in adult leagues. The name “Jolene Jolene” is inspired by her cat and the iconic Dolly Parton song, she shared.

Jolene Jolene will be an event-centric bar and restaurant, she said, hosting everything from game-day gatherings to expert panels on athletics, to karaoke, trivia nights, and more. Fishman shared that the menu will offer elevated bar fare with creative twists on familiar favorites, and the bar program will be crafted by the yet-to-be-announced beverage lead.

Currently, Jolene Jolene is popping up throughout Atlanta and hosting game-day events and watch parties. Follow them on Instagram to attend the next event.
