The list opens with a wall of Champagne that immediately signals this place takes sparkling seriously — Billecart-Salmon shows up five different ways before you even get to the whites. At 117 labels spanning $40 to $4,000, there's genuine range here, but the energy is squarely steakhouse-safe: California Chardonnay, big-name bubbles, and presumably a red section built for ribeye enthusiasts.
The Champagne section is the clear passion project — you've got Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois, the Nicolas François 2012, Extra Brut 2016, and Blanc de Blanc all on the same list, which is more Billecart depth than most Atlanta restaurants manage combined. The white wine focus skews heavily California, with Kistler Les Noisetiers, Far Niente, Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch, and Sea Smoke all represented — respectable producers, though not exactly adventurous. The inclusion of Lini 910 Labrusca (a funky, rare Italian Lambrusco-adjacent sparkler) and a non-alcoholic Chateau Ish Blanc de Blanc suggests someone on the team is paying attention. What's largely missing from the available data is any meaningful old-world red presence or anything outside the comfort zone of a Buckhead expense account.
By-the-glass specifics aren't published prominently, which at a steakhouse often means the pours are an afterthought — a rotating house selection that doesn't reflect the ambition of the bottle list. The half-bottle format on the Champagne Jeeper Brut Grand Reserve Blanc de Blanc is a smart addition for solo diners or table starters who don't want to commit to a full 750ml of bubbles.
Champagne Jeeper Brut Grand Reserve Blanc de Blanc 375ml — Unknown — check menu
Jeeper is a small, grower-leaning Champagne house that punches well above its price point. The 375ml format is perfect for a solo opener or a two-top that wants proper bubbles without a big commitment — and at a venue that loves marking up Veuve, this is likely the smarter spend.
Lini 910 Labrusca
Most people at a steakhouse are reaching for Cab or Champagne — they're sleeping on this deeply unusual Italian sparkler from Emilia-Romagna. Lini 910 makes wines with actual personality: earthy, slightly fizzy, and completely different from anything else on this list. It's the move if you want to drink something nobody else at the table ordered.
Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial
You can buy this at every grocery store in Atlanta for $45-50. Whatever KR SteakBar is charging for it, the markup math doesn't work in your favor. Step sideways to the Billecart-Salmon Brut or the Jeeper and get something worth the restaurant premium.
Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois + Dry-aged ribeye
Sous Bois is Billecart's wood-aged Champagne — it has a toasty, brioche-forward richness that stands up to the fat and char of a dry-aged ribeye in a way most bubbles can't. It's an unconventional call at a steakhouse, but it works, and it's more interesting than reflexively ordering another California Cab.
The Bottom Line
KR SteakBar has a Champagne program worth taking seriously and a handful of genuinely interesting bottles scattered through the list — but the pricing is steakhouse-steep and the overall selection stays firmly inside the comfort zone. Send a friend here if they love Billecart-Salmon; tell them to skip the Moët.

Hal's delivers a competent, Napa-forward bottle list that does exactly what a steakhouse wine program is supposed to do — just without much surprise or value mercy. Send a friend here if they want a reliable big-red experience; warn them to leave the credit card breathing room.

Nando's is here for the chicken, and the wine list knows it — eight uninspired labels that exist to check a box, not to enhance your meal. Order the Vinho Verde, enjoy your peri-peri, and don't overthink it.

Bici's wine list won't knock you sideways, but it's honest, Italian-focused, and fairly priced — a reliable partner to the food. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and go straight for the Greco.

SouthernNational is doing something genuinely unusual — running a tight, Europe-forward wine list inside a Southern kitchen, and mostly pulling it off. If you're tired of the same Sonoma Pinot and overpriced Malbec at every restaurant in town, this list is worth your attention.

Apt 4B is a vibe-first spot where the wine list feels like an afterthought that got handed to a brand manager. Come for the food and the atmosphere — but if wine matters to you, order a cocktail instead.

Perry's is a reliable steakhouse wine list — nothing that'll make you rethink your palate, but enough to drink well with red meat if you know where to look. The fortified and dessert wine section is genuinely worth your attention; the rest is competent but forgettable.

Martyrs is punching above its weight class for a steakhouse in Taos — the Italian selections alone make it worth a look. The markups are real and the pricing on the classics is aggressive, but if you order smart, this list rewards you.

If someone else is buying, order freely; if you're watching the tab, stick to the French glass pours and call it a win.
