The Rathskeller

WordPress Design, Multi-Service Branding, and Event-Driven Architecture.

I designed a comprehensive digital home for The Rathskeller—Indianapolis’ oldest and most iconic restaurant—using WordPress and the Enfold theme. Because The Rathskeller is a massive, multi-faceted operation, I focused on a design that reflects the rich, 130-year history of the Athenaeum while providing a high-performance experience for modern visitors. The build is centered on high-impact photography of the Bavarian-style interiors and the legendary outdoor Biergarten, ensuring the atmosphere is felt the moment the page loads.

To manage the business’s complexity, I designed a structured layout that balances fine German dining, a high-volume live music venue, and a premier banquet facility. I prioritized a responsive, mobile-first design so that guests can easily check the live music schedule or browse the beer list while on the move in Downtown Indy.

The Rathskeller

“Designing for a 130-year-old icon like The Rathskeller is about respect for the legacy. I focused on a design that captures that unique ‘Old World’ soul while giving it the modern speed and structure it needs to thrive in a digital-first world.” — Doug Walker
