Ratskeller

Opened in 1907, the Rathskeller offers a setting different from all others — unique in architecture and distinct in design and detail. The only surviving, Rookwood-Pottery room in the world. This 4,200-square-foot space is ideal for catered events for up to 280 people, banquet-style, or up to 300 guests for receptions. Your guests will be delighted by the stunning medieval architecture that marks the Rathskellar's interior. They'll dine under a spectacular, red-tinted, terra-cotta ceiling, with columns ringed by Rookwood-Pottery pelicans — a sign of good luck. Tile designs on the Rathskeller's walls depict walled cities in the Rhenish region of Germany, where the Seelbach's founders, Otto and Louis Seelbach, were born. Further design detail is found back near the oak bar. An artistic ceiling made of fine-tooled leather and painted in a heraldic design with the twelve signs of the zodiac, creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for mingling and socializing with drinks.
