The third location of South African-inspired restaurant and bar Biltong Bar is now open at Avalon in Alpharetta this month.
The spot, which specializes in dry-aged beef jerky, opened Nov. 9 in the mixed-use development. It joins the original Biltong Bar, which opened at Ponce City Market in 2016 and one in Buckhead Village that opened in 2018.
Biltong Bar is part of restaurateur Justin Anthony’s True Story Brands, which also includes Yebo Beach Haus and 10 Degrees South.
The new location offers a more extensive menu than the other two locations, featuring a selection of small bites, salads and sandwiches. Dishes include ostrich sliders, peri-peri prawn tacos, grilled cheese and double beef patty burger.
The beverage program is similar to the intown Biltong Bar locations, with custom cocktails, a curated South African wine selection and more traditional go-to wines.
Designed by Anthony’s wife Kelly, of Wolf Design Group, the space features three large patios including a rooftop bar and lounge and combines design elements from the other two Biltong Bar locations. Look for “shades of forest green, white and brown throughout.,” according to a press release, we well as white butcher tiles on the walls, a large steel glass biltong closet, exposed pipes and floor-to-ceiling iron windows. The front entrance offers a second outdoor seating area and a back patio courtyard that has yard games, as well as a to-go window serving frozen cocktails.
Biltong Bar’s COVID-19 safety precautions include socially distanced tables, limited seating capacity, sanitation measures and a mask requirement for guests and staff.
The restaurant will join food and beverage concepts at Avalon including Antico Pizza, Barelygarden Kitchen and Craft Bar, Bocado Burger, Superica, Soup to Ladle and True Food Kitchen.
Biltong Bar’s hours are 12-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday.
