About

Welcome to 1920 Tavern, a speakeasy-style restaurant and pub in downtown Roswell offering globally inspired cuisine. This quaint yet casual spot pairs a sophisticated mix of cocktails and spirits with dishes perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The menu features fresh greens, savory starters, market-fresh seafood, and enchanting entrées.

Inspired by the elegance and playfulness of the speakeasy era, 1920 Tavern features antique mirrors, crystal accents, and globe lighting that create a warm ambiance. Dark wood, leather banquettes, and white tiled floors complement suspended light pendants, while the new bar offers a cozy space to enjoy handcrafted cocktails.

Originally from South Africa, Howard and Jenna came to the United States on tennis scholarships, where they teamed up as husband and wife before entering the restaurant industry. Sharing a passion for food, socializing, and entertaining, they've made both their Dunwoody home and 1920 Tavern their gathering places. While they take great pride in the quality food and service at 1920, they're most proud of their two boys, Dylan and Aidan.

"We don't have any immediate family here, and we see our clientele as our big extended family. The people of Roswell are nothing but amazing and have welcomed us into their family."

For Howard and Jenna, 1920 Tavern is a true labor of love reflected in every detail, from knowing customers by name to creating a warm, welcoming space where people can eat, drink, and unwind. Far from their original home, they understand the universal pull of comfort food and inviting spaces.

1920 Tavern celebrates the present with modern interpretations of globally inspired classics, brought to life through fresh-to-table creations. We hope you enjoy the expression of our love in food.
