After nearly a year and a half of planning, Char Korean Bar & Grill is in business in Inman Park. Currently open for dinner in the Inman Quarter mixed-use development, Richard Tang’s Korean barbecue restaurant allows diners to cook right at their tables, features a covered patio, and comes with a modern, industrial vibe. Before you visit, take an early look inside via the photos below.
