Unlike the former JCT Bar at Westside Provisions District, Atlanta restaurateur Ford Fry doesn’t think of its replacement as just another spot for cocktails. Located above his French-style brasserie, Little Sparrow, which opened in the former JCT Kitchen space downstairs, Fry thinks of Bar Blanc as a “steak friterie” and a restaurant in its own right.
Opening Tuesday, November 14, Bar Blanc continues the French theme upstairs, but within closer quarters, and with a much livelier atmosphere. While Little Sparrow is charming and sophisticated, consider Bar Blanc its sassy little sister. Fry describes Bar Blanc as “slightly more rebellious in nature.”
Outdoor seating overlooking the train tracks and a plush velvet couch near the bar inside are meant for lingering over drinks, while banquettes and cafe tables provide the opportunity to enjoy cocktails, wine, and dinner that includes steak and bowls of thick-cut French fries. An evening at Bar Blanc comes soundtracked by French hip-hop and indie Americana tunes pumping through the speakers.
