"Back with a coal‑fired focus, this revival from chef Kevin Rathbun trades the former Inman Park tapas-and-wine era for pizzas and a cozier, more personal vibe. The intimate spot now turns out eight signature pies—the Cheese Don, Pomodoro, Margherita, KROG (Kevin Rathbun Original Gangsta), Clam, and the Isabella (named after Rathbun’s granddaughter)—alongside salads, wine, and cocktails. After closing in 2020 at Atlanta Stove Works, it returns next to KR Steakbar with the feel of a beloved hideaway where food, music, cards, and community come together, and it serves both lunch and dinner." - Henna Bakshi
"Set to reopen this summer as a coal-fired pizza spot, the bar returns next to KR Steakbar at 349 Peachtree Hills Avenue. Previously located in Atlanta Stove Works in Inman Park, it closed in 2020. An alcohol license permit was filed in May, and Kevin Rathbun has stayed largely quiet about the project, leaving eagle-eyed locals in suspense." - Henna Bakshi
"Krog Bar is a tiny tapas bar with a great deal of atmosphere. Yes, good things do come in small packages. Rathbun's (the team behind Krog Bar) was one of the culinary pioneers of the neighborhood, converting the tiny building, formerly a forklift storage area, into a chic place to wine and dine." - Brand Bird
"I learned that Krog Bar, Rathbun’s wine-and-small-plates spot at the Stove Works in Inman Park, has also closed; like Rathbun’s, the shutdown appears planned and unrelated to the pandemic. Reporting indicates the building Krog Bar occupies may be converted into parking for Krog Street Market, and Rathbun says he could not reach a lease agreement with Asana after nearly a year; he suggested Krog Bar might return in some form, possibly relocated near Kevin Rathbun Steak on the Eastside Beltline." - Beth McKibben
"Closed on Thursday, July 4 for the Fourth of July holiday to allow employees time off." - Beth McKibben
