From Old Swedish krogher, from Middle Low German krôch, from Proto-Germanic *kranhō (“corner”), which according to Kroonen could be related to *kringaną (“to turn, yield”).[1] However, it could otherwise be from Proto-Germanic *kragan- (“throat”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *gʷrogʰ-, which could be related to Ancient Greek βρόχθος (brókhthos, “throat”); similar sense development is found in Latin, where gurgustium (“pub, hut”) is related to gurges (“whirlpool, abyss”).[2]

Compare Norwegian Nynorsk kro f, Dutch kroeg and German Krug.

1. a (more rustic) premise where alcohol is sold and consumed; a pub, (except often not as strong in tone) a tavern
2. (especially in the definite) a drinking establishment (generally); (in the definite, collectively) drinking establishments

• Fairly fuzzy as a term outside (sense 2) and (sense 5). Not all native speakers will agree on exactly what a krog entails, with some placing greater emphasis on food. Referring to restaurants as krogar seems to be more common in Stockholm than elsewhere, which might play in. Likely thought of as a more rustic bar by many native speakers. Clubs are further from the intuition, though included in the collective (sense 2).

• Though not implied, also used of fancy restaurants. Restaurants are implied in compounds like stjärnkrog (“restaurant (referred to as a krog) with a Michelin star”).
