Official today, Adam Altnether has become the owner of popular mixology and charcuterie bar Taste by Niche. Previous owner Gerard Craft will remain an investor.
Altnether, a 24-year-old St. Louis native, has served as executive chef at another of Craft’s restaurants, Brasserie by Niche, for the last four months and has been with the Craft family of restaurants since August 2007.
The Scoop announced back in September that Craft planned to move Taste from its original location next to Niche on Sidney Street to the spot next to Brasserie in the Central West End early next year. In addition to doubling occupancy at Taste’s new locale, Altnether plans to expand both the cocktail and food sides of the menu.
