Dining News: Block Butcher Bar Coming from Owners of LowBrau
June 27, 2013
While they may be saving to improve the acoustics of LowBrau, the owners of the German-style beer hall at 20th & K are expanding with Block Butcher Bar next door to the current restaurant, reports Chris Macias in the Sac Bee.
If LowBrau is geared for folks who want to let off steam with craft beer and a cranked DJ system, Block Butcher Bar seeks to entice a clientele that wants to chill out with fine Scotch and bourbon, plus wine, charcuterie plates and other butchery. If all goes to plan, Block would produce sausage in-house.
"It's nice to have a festive environment, but we also wanted to do something sophisticated as well," said Clay Nutting, co-owner of Low Brau and Block. "I think we can pull that off. Parts of these concepts we wanted to include in LowBrau, but couldn't because of budget and what not. Since we've had success, we can expand the concepts."
The owner hopes to have the place open as early as September.

Waiter, a Pretty Steak, Please - At Empellón Cocina, a restaurant in New York City, diners see a not-so-gentle reminder at the top of the menu. "Empellón strongly discourages the use of cellphones, unless you're posting food porn on Instagram. #Empellon," it says in bold letters. The aim is to get diners comfortable posting photos, says co-owner of the nouveau Mexican restaurant David Rodolitz, who came up with the tagline five months ago. "It's almost like they are becoming a brand ambassador on behalf of the restaurant," says Mr. Rodolitz. It also helps to bring followers to the restaurant's own Instagram feed, which informs users about specials or offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of the kitchen, he adds.
