Hold your next event in our Rathskeller
-- 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.
Opened in 1907, the Rathskeller offers a setting different
from all others -- unique in architecture and distinct in
design and detail.
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.
The tile work for this unique room was crafted by the famed
Rookwood Pottery of Cincinnati. Each tile was designed by
hand and fired. Then, color was added and fired again, with
an additional firing for each color.
The level of effort and dedication that went into the construction
of this room reflects The Seelbach's level of service and
quality that continues today.
