"Bar Mercado, a Latin American restaurant, closed at the end of December after five years at Krog Street Market. The restaurant, backed by the Castellucci Hospitality Group, had switched its menu from Spanish tapas to Latin American fare in February 2020. Despite efforts, it did not succeed. All employees have been reassigned within the group’s other restaurants." - Beth McKibben
"Bar Mercado, part of the Castellucci Hospitality Group, adapted to the pandemic by joining Uber Eats and establishing an ecommerce site to sell family-style meals." - Lia Picard
"The Krog Street Market Latin American restaurant offers a Valentine’s Day takeout dinner for two featuring yuca fries and ceviche tostada, lobster paella or prime rib, and churros for dessert. Call to order for pick-up February 14. Masks required." - Beth McKibben
"Several full-service restaurants have already reopened for limited dine-in service over the last two weeks, including Bar Mercado." - Beth McKibben
"Bar Mercado is one of the seven Atlanta-area restaurants under Castellucci Hospitality Group that pivoted to takeout only operations in mid-March. The decision to reopen for dine-in service involves considering factors like science-backed data, health and safety of staff and patrons, and financial feasibility due to diminished capacity in dining rooms." - Beth McKibben
