WZ Tavern is now Home Tavern
From the owners, “We opened our doors in 2015 as WZ Tavern East Cobb. In 2024 we made the decision to switch our brand name to Home Tavern as our friends who owned the Wing Zone franchise sold it and we decided to end our agreement with Wing Zone. During these many great years the Tavern has become a beloved neighborhood spot in Marietta, GA. Our cozy and welcoming atmosphere, expertly crafted drinks, and delicious Chef inspired food make us the perfect place to spend an evening with friends. Our staff takes pride in creating a unique and memorable experience for each and every guest. Our new menu will include many of our long-standing favorites, along with new items that continue our Chef inspired commitment to delicious food!”
