About Us

Since its establishment in 2000, The Rathskeller Coffee Bar & Pub has been a cherished gathering place for the Franklin community. Under the stewardship of current owners Thaddeus Pickard and Jennifer Regner, the Rathskeller continues to uphold its tradition of offering a welcoming space where everyone feels like family. ​

Our menu features a delightful array of offerings, from specialty coffee drinks crafted with beans from Dynamite Roasters to a curated selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. We also are getting ready to open the Skeller Skillet food truck located on Stewart Street.

Beyond food and drink, The Rathskeller is a hub for live entertainment and community events. Join us for weekly trivia nights, karaoke sessions, and live music performances that showcase local talent. Our goal is to create a space where connections are made, stories are shared, and memories are formed.

There are no strangers here; only friends you haven't yet met.
