Krog Street Market

Atlanta, GA

Krog Street Market is a destination for Atlanta’s intown culture – those who are always searching for unique, specialty creations. It’s designed to be as authentic as the 1920’s Atlanta Stove Works warehouse it’s built into. Opening its doors in 2014, with market stalls to sell produce, goods, and prepared food, along with a few southern-grown restaurants and retailers, the market offers residents a gathering place of sorts – a locale for taking in an extraordinary meal or picking up a few inspiring ingredients – a west coast-style market, right in the heart of Inman Park.
