“We wanted to create a place where getting together feels worth making time for,” says Stephen de Haan, founder and executive chairman of RPB Management Group. “Every space has its own personality, so people can choose the evening they want and find another reason to stay.”
Housed in the former Regenstein’s department store, 207 Peachtree builds on RPB Management Group’s existing presence on the block with neighboring Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza. Working with Marx Realty, the team kept much of the building’s original character intact, including its floors and tall windows, while giving each new concept its own personality.
American Dive is the laid-back one: Southern barbecue, cold beer, live music, pool and darts. Peachtree Sporting Club turns up the competitive streak with wings, burgers, big-screen games, darts and shuffleboard, plus seven sports suites for virtual golf, baseball and more. Warm woods and midcentury influences keep the room polished enough for dinner, even when the group chat gets competitive.
Then there’s the Grand Ballroom. The elegant event space was designed for weddings, galas and milestone celebrations—and will soon set the scene for JEZEBEL’s own 30th anniversary party. “We want the setting to feel worthy of the occasion while keeping the focus on the people and stories that made those 30 years possible,” de Haan says.
