A byproduct of Scott’s extensive travels across the globe for work in the tech industry is that he gets to immerse himself in a vast array of culinary experiences and indulge his passion for imbibing fine spirits in discrete locations.

His entrepreneurial spirit peaked when an opportunity arose on Main Street - in Bothell, WA - just down the road from his home. The dream to build a local bar began.

Scott's vision for the perfect craft cocktail bar included fresh, real ingredients, great service, top shelf offerings, and inventive, artistic, authentic drinks with a welcoming staff. A lot had to do with the environment: The feeling of being carried to another time, getting lost in a space, being treated well, paid attention to - but left alone just enough. Intimate, moody, and unpretentious. Something to talk about while leaving you anxious to come back, wanting to tell your friends, yet wanting to keep the secret to yourself…. krō bär will surprise you.

Scott hopes all will enjoy his nostalgic creativity, and desire for damn good drinks and delicious food.
