VIA, an Innovative Food & Bar Venue
Buckhead Atlanta
Join
other freethinkers, atheists,
agnostics,
brights, secular humanists, skeptics, rationalists, or those otherwise self-identified as non-religious or
nontheists for some great food, drinks and socializing at the
Buckhead Village's new signature restaurant and bar Via.
VIA
is more than a restaurant, it's an innovative food and bar venue
located in the center of Buckhead's upscale retail and residential
district in the Eclipse Building. It breathes new life into the
Buckhead restaurant scene. The stylish restaurant cater to a
professional crowd they can enjoy world-class cuisine and
cocktails in an attractive, sophisticated modern relaxed
environment.
Owners John Frasier and Rick Seaman sought inspiration from their years traveling to world-renowned restaurant and lounges across the globe. The owners spared no expense when creating the
over $1 million venue that serves as an anchor to the re-burgeoning Buckhead district. "We really wanted to create a destination spot for professionals who desire good food and appreciate superior design," says owner John Frasier.

To
compliment the menu and fresh ingredients interior designer Patti
Krohngold drew inspiration from crisp white linens and a midnight
blue sky. "I want it to feel like a breath of fresh air when
you enter," say Krohngold. The floor consists of white tile
and blue glass with navy blue walls that accentuate the oversized
light fixtures and chrome accents. The 3,200 square foot,
multi-level space boasts a 40-foot bar and custom-made wood
burning ceramic brick oven. The giant 40-foot Prussian blue
granite bar is the spot for Buckhead professionals to mingle with
other patrons while ordering drinks from the expansive list of
fine wines, cocktails, liquors, beers and spirits.

They hired Shaun Doty (owner of Shaun's and formerly of Table 1280, MidCity Cuisine and Mumbo Jumbo) to consult on the menu. Via brings simple, yet inventive Italian-inspired cuisine to Buckhead. Focusing on fresh ingredients that are complemented by the amazing oak flavors the custom-built oven produces, some of the favorite wood grilled entrees include: Alaskan Halibut, Free Range Chicken, Fennel Crusted Rack of Lamb and of course the signature wood-fired pizzas like the Quattro
Formaggi. Consulting Chef Shaun Doty created the menu centered around the custom-made oak wood-burning ceramic brick oven that serves as the focal point for the dining room as well. The menu includes oversized salads, and a fresh meat and seafood selection.
Peachtree Freethinkers supports and encourages responsible drinking so access to public transit (MARTA,
BUC, etc.) is a factor when choosing
locations for our social mixers at restaurants and bars.
