The Wrecking Bar Brewpub opened in Little Five Points on Father’s Day in 2011. Bob Sandage, a serious home brewer, and his wife, Kristine, spent almost two years restoring an 18,000-square-foot Victorian mansion (doing much of the work themselves), turning the main space into an event facility and the basement into a handsome tavern with stone walls, brick floors, and a sunny patio.

Farm Burger announced last week that Terry Koval, the chef that helped launch and run the original Decatur location of the growing chain, has left his position.

We caught up with Koval to ask him a few questions about the move and his plans for the Wrecking Bar.
