An NPU filing has surfaced plans for The Roux Kitchen & Cocktails at 537 Edgewood Avenue SE in Old Fourth Ward. What Now Atlanta reported that the restaurant is taking a 5,821-square-foot space and is seating 150, putting it on the larger end of the Edgewood Avenue restaurant strip.
The public filing leaves menu and design details vague, but the paperwork describes a beverage program that includes beer, wine, and cocktails. The team has not responded to questions from What Now Atlanta yet, and a website is still in placeholder coming-soon mode. The hours on file run Tuesday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with Saturday and Sunday service stretching from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the weekend, suggesting brunch is part of the lineup.
The address sits on the Edgewood Avenue corridor between Boulevard and Krog Street, putting The Roux Kitchen near established neighbors like Mother and the Sound Table corridor and within easy reach of the Krog Street Market crowd. Old Fourth Ward's Edgewood strip has cycled through several restaurant openings over the past two years, and a 150-seat room with a beverage program is a meaningful addition to the block.
With no firm opening date in the filing, the project is in the planning and permitting stage. Build-outs of this size in Old Fourth Ward typically take several months to clear inspections, so a soft opening is likely later this year. The NPU filing is the first public confirmation that the address is changing hands.
