Peter Thomas just got arrested for DUI. Now we hear his Miami Beach restaurant is shut

Looking for a local restaurant with a waterfront view and celeb cred?

Don’t plan on a night out at Bar One Miami Beach.

The eatery, owned by onetime “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Peter Thomas and located at the Bentley Bay Condominium on West Avenue, is closed.

There has been no formal announcement, but Bar One’s phone number is disconnected as is the website. The last post on the venue’s Instagram was from October 2023, touting a happy hour.

The signs were there: Cynthia Bailey’s ex had been battling it out for months with his landlord, Bentley Bay Retail, after failing to make rent payments and being threatened with eviction. RadarOnline reported in December that Thomas’ Miami attorney, Arthur Jones, dropped him as a client.

The only peep we’ve heard lately from Thomas, whose Bar One in Baltimore closed over the summer, was a response to his Jan. 9 DUI arrest outside Atlanta.

According to a police report first obtained by “Entertainment Tonight,” the Bravolebrity, 63, was booked on driving under the influence. He was also slapped with other charges such as driving with expired tags, driving without a license, no proof of insurance and failure to maintain lane.

“My phone is blowing up, everyone’s calling me, I’m wondering what’s going on,” Thomas told his Instagram followers when the news broke Friday. “Then I realized … it’s the DUI thing.”

Explanation?

“I refused to blow. I spent the night in the hospital because my blood pressure was so high,” he continued in the video. “They told me I have to turn myself in because there was gonna be a warrant, so I did ...Turned myself in, bailed myself out [in] three hours.”

According to Cobb County court records, Thomas must now undergo random alcohol and drug testing and is prohibited from owning any firearms.

Thomas opened Bar One in the 305 in September 2019, promising to “cater to the roots of Miami with an island coastal vibe.” COVID-19 began roughly six months later, shutting down multiple businesses and hitting the hospitality industry especially hard.

The native Jamaican was no stranger to the area and attempted to stay afloat amid the pandemic. In the mid-’90s, the embattled restaurateur owned and operated such hot spots as Oprah fave Savannah’s as well as Barcode lounge, both in the SoFi area.
