Rohst, the new Pan-Asian restaurant set to open as part of the Greenville rebirth, has decided to keep the Greenville Bar & Grill sign.

Co-owner Patrick Kelly says that he and the other five owners will repair and light the sign as a nod to the history of the neighborhood. “We had a long list of potential locations for Rohst, and we chose Lower Greenville because of its community,” says Kelly. “We feel like we’ve been welcomed with open arms.”

Kelly describes Rohst (set to open at the end of June or the first week of July) as a “casual atmosphere with an upscale dining experience” … and tables are already being reserved for the rooftop lounge with firepits and a downtown view. “Everyone is welcome at Rohst; there are no labels,” says Kelly.

The cuisine will consist of Korean family recipes from co-owner Michelle Choi, owner of Chosun Korean BBQ in North Dallas. “The focus here will be on making the bold and rich flavors of traditional Korean cooking accessible to American diners. Healthy and active patrons will appreciate the abundance of fresh meats and seafood and use of local produce,” says Kelly.
