Believe it or not, this is entrance to Dante’s Down the Hatch, a pirate-themed restaurant that closed down for good three years ago. The center piece of Underground Atlanta, this is perhaps the only business that survived the the Underground revival of the 1980s, when a significant portion of the site was demolished in order to construct MARTA lines. Visitors would open the “hatch” to reveal the a staircase that led down into the popular restaurant. If you peer through the crack, the staircase is still visible.
