Good Company Brings Cocktails and Gastropub Fare to the Grove

1 year 2 months ago
After a soft opening this past weekend, Good Company (4317 Manchester Avenue) officially opened for business on April 30 in the former Layla space in the Grove. The cocktail bar and restaurant is co-owned by Jordan Goodman and Kyle Gillespie, who also own Good Ice, a local company that specializes in boutique custom ice cubes and sculptures. So, yes, there’s some impressive ice-trickery here. It’s hard to miss the ice sculpture, which changes nightly (naturally) and sits center stage behind the bar.
