About Rathbun's: Rathbun's is located in a turn of the century industrial metal works building called The Stove Works. It is surrounded by small in town neighborhoods like Inman Park, Grant Park, Virginia Highland, Cabbagetown, Candler Park, Morningside, Emory, Druid Hills, Midtown, and Little Five Points and is only two miles from the downtown hotel and convention trade.
Rathbun's is highlighted with dark wood and exposed brick walls. It has an open kitchen, dramatic tones of gray, and a description of industrial meets modern. The mix of the worn out flooring maintains the industrial feel while the suspended stovepipe pendants radiate a tone of fuchsia. The open illuminated kitchen accents the dining room. The bar includes four large dark columns and a bleached white cherry-wood bar top. The long, draped, knotted sheers gives the space the warm feeling of a just-built 100 year-old building.
Pops of vibrant color make up the room and the sound incorporates a jazzy, urban tone that gets one excited the moment they walk through the fuchsia colored door. The outside patio has logoed peak-a-boo fabric panels and large umbrellas that allow the intimacy of private patio dining and the feeling that one is in a hidden gem of a restaurant. Rathbun's phone number is 404.524.8280.
