Pinky Cole’s BarVegan Atlanta Closes After Four Years, Teases New Venture Coming This Summer

Pinky Cole’s BarVegan in Atlanta is closing its doors

After four years, the plant-based restaurant and cocktail bar, founded by Cole, will bid farewell later today (May 5).

In an Instagram post, BarVegan shared:

“This past month, April 2025, the decision was made to close the location that created the hookahless blueprint, paving the way for similar vegan bars across the country, BarVegan Atlanta.”

The closure appears to be part of a broader restructuring of Cole’s business ventures, as her other restaurant brand, Slutty Vegan, has closed its Duluth, Spelman College, and Georgia Tech locations.

While this marks the end of an era, the restaurant teases that something new may be on the horizon:

“This chapter may be closing, but the story doesn’t end there. Stay tuned; there’s more coming to Atlanta this summer. Rumor has it, we may just be a part of it.”
