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 recently opened 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.
