The History of Vinings Inn

March 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Tucked into a quaint town near the edge of Atlanta’s city skyline, Old Vinings Inn is a charming restaurant rich in Southern cuisine and history. The building, which dates back to the early 1800s, is one of the town’s oldest structures and has served countless patrons across several vibrant and notable decades.

For those interested in the stories that comprise the past, the town of Vinings is an ideal destination. Visitors will find Civil War markings spread throughout the city’s path, detailing the story of Tecumseh Sherman and his Union troops as they inhabited the town for 11 days before burning down Pace House and then the city of Atlanta. Venturers may choose to cool off by the waters of the Chattahoochee, where residents of the Reconstruction Era often gathered for picnics and turn of the century locals splashed around in healthful “spa” waters.

When every historical nook and cranny has been explored, excursionists can retreat to Vinings Inn for fine dining and unique ambience. Known in the very beginning as the Forty-Forty Building, this establishment was originally a general store first purchased by Mr. Reuben F. Hill in 1890. At that time the building housed a seed and feed on the main floor as well as the Village Post Office.  The establishment has since undergone several incarnations including an apartment complex, an antiques store and its current manifestation as the Vinings Inn Restaurant.

Along with the town, the building has been lovingly preserved and offers up several areas for dining enjoyment:

The Sunroom- A spacious and light filled area often used for Business Luncheons, Rehearsal Dinners, Holiday Parties and Private Celebrations

The Bear Room- A secluded private dining room with a working fireplace

The Main Rooms- Traditional appointments with contemporary fine art

The Deck- An area overlooking the town of Vinings that boasts sunset views shaded by magnificent old trees

The Attic Lounge- A casual bar area with lively night entertainment and cocktails
