Chef Kevin Rathbun Opens Krog Bar

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, September 28, 2005: Chef Kevin Rathbun of the nationally acclaimed namesake restaurant, Rathbun's, along with his partners Kirk Parks and Cliff Bramble have just opened their new Mediterranean Wine Bar called Krog Bar.

Located in the same industrial complex as Rathbun's, at 112 Krog Street in Inman Park, Krog Bar is opened six nights a week and will be closed on Sunday. KROG BAR opens daily at 4:30 p.m.

Featuring a menu of Mediterranean style cold small plates that include Bonita Tuna, Boquerones, selections of Crudo, aged Prosciutto and Bresola, as well as Formaggi, Krog Bar's menu is divided into five parts. Antipasti, Crudo, Carne, Tramezzini & Formaggi. Gelatos are created daily.

The wine list is a list of wines from Italy, Spain & France. With small phrases and descriptions on the list in the form of, "If you Like", the list is designed with all types of varietals. The list features twenty wines by the glass.

Krog Bar is designed to be a community wine bar that allows people to share conversations and small plates and meet new friends. Custom-made iron racks line the walls and act as a centerpiece for the wines that surround you. Pecky cypress wood beautifies the walls that surround the bar. The cabernet walls and the chocolate brown ceiling & floor create a breath of intimacy and give the feel of an old world bar.

Krog Bar features an intimate inside seating of soft cabernet leather bar stools. Stand at any of the bar rails or sit at the communal tables and enjoy the fine wine and small plates.

The stand-up gray marble bar stretches across the room and is one of the main attractions. The tall bar allows guests to stand and sip while the four six foot communal tables allow guests to mingle and meet. The long amber globe pendants create the dramatic feel of a warm refreshing bar. The outside patio seats twenty-five and is surrounded with old world brick and five custom made wooden tables.
