Haus PUB Soft Opens Tonight at The Castle in Midtown

Plans for a hotel and bar/restaurant at The Castle, located in Midtown across from the Woodruff Arts Center have been in place for some time. Tonight, they come to fruition. Haus PUB (Pop-Up Bar) kicks off four days of soft opening at 5 p.m. (HT: Atlanta INTown)
