Grand opening: Fuzzy’s Place reborn
The loss of Fuzzy’s Place last year was a blow to Atlanta’s music scene, and to the regulars who frequented the North Druid Hills Road for drinks and Cajun food. But after the death of Fuzzy Cawthon in 2006, majority ownership in the bar was turned over to his brother who elected to shut the doors after 30 years of business.
But there’s good news: The staff of Fuzzy’s Place have opened their own place. Fuzzy’s Place, meet Zuffy’s Place. It opens today at a new location at 1860 Corporate Blvd., right around the corner from where Fuzzy’s used to be.
“We’re all excited,” Keirsten Alexander, a co-owner of Zuffy’s said last week when I visited during the bar’s soft opening. “When Fuzzy’s closed, we looked at everything within two miles. And this was the perfect location.”
