Rathskeller (basement beer hall) at the Athenaeum (Das Deutsche Haus)

The Athenaeum (Das Deutsche Haus), built in the 1890s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, contains a basement-level Rathskeller that historically functioned as a German beer hall and event space. The building's lower-level spaces have long housed dining, social events, and cultural programming associated with Indianapolis's German-American community. The Rathskeller remains a notable subterranean venue within the Athenaeum building.
