Historic downtown Braselton has become a dining destination in its own right, and Rebar is one of its brightest additions. Opened in 2023 by the same team behind the acclaimed Local Station (just down the street), Rebar brings a Mediterranean-inspired menu, creative cocktails, and an effortlessly sophisticated atmosphere to the ground floor of the restored 1904 Braselton Brothers Department Store. Overlooking the Braselton Town Green, it is the kind of place that works for every occasion: a relaxed lunch, an after-work cocktail, or a leisurely dinner with friends.

The Atmosphere
Step into Rebar and you are immediately transported to another era. The 1904 building has been lovingly restored, with exposed brick walls, original architectural details, and warm wood floors that tell the story of downtown Braselton's past. The bar is the centerpiece: a beautifully crafted wooden bar lined with brass railings and backlit shelving displaying an impressive selection of spirits. The dining area feels intimate yet open, with a mix of cozy booths and communal tables that encourage conversation. Large windows overlook the Braselton Town Green, offering a view of the fountain and the historic Davis Street storefronts. On Friday evenings, live music fills the space, adding to the already vibrant energy. It is sophisticated without being stuffy, the kind of place where you can settle in for a long conversation over a perfectly crafted cocktail.
Signature Dishes & Drinks
Italian Panini
A house favorite. Layers of imported Italian meats, provolone, roasted peppers, and arugula pressed between crusty artisan bread, served with a side of house-made chips. Simple ingredients executed to perfection.
Lobster Roll
A New England classic with a Southern twist. Chunks of fresh lobster tossed in a light lemon-herb dressing, served on a toasted buttered roll with crispy fries. One of the most popular lunch items on the menu.
Greek Quinoa Bowl
A Mediterranean-inspired bowl packed with quinoa, cucumber, tomato, Kalamata olives, red onion, feta cheese, and a lemon-herb vinaigrette. A lighter option that does not skimp on flavor. Add grilled chicken or salmon for a heartier meal.
Charcuterie Board
A carefully curated selection of artisan meats, aged cheeses, house-made pickles, stone-ground mustard, and crusty bread. Perfect for sharing over a glass of wine or a craft cocktail. The board changes seasonally to feature the best available ingredients.
Craft Cocktails
Rebar's cocktail program is a highlight in its own right. The bar team crafts inventive drinks using fresh juices, house-made syrups, and premium spirits. Standouts include the signature Old Fashioned with a hint of orange and cherry, a refreshing cucumber gimlet, and a rotating seasonal selection that showcases local ingredients. The wine list features thoughtful selections from both old-world and new-world producers, and the craft beer rotation includes local Georgia breweries.
Chicken Salad Sandwich
A lunchtime staple done right. House-made chicken salad with grapes, pecans, and fresh herbs served on toasted artisan bread with mixed greens. The kind of dish that sounds simple but is executed with care and quality ingredients.
What Makes It Special
Rebar is part of the Jacks Brand Restaurant Group, the same team behind Local Station just a few doors down on Davis Street. What makes Rebar stand out is its seamless blend of history, community, and quality. The building itself tells a story: the 1904 Braselton Brothers Department Store was the heart of downtown Braselton for generations, and Rebar has brought it back to life as a gathering place for a new era.
The location on the Braselton Town Green is hard to beat. In warmer months, the outdoor seating area fills with locals enjoying cocktails and small plates while children play on the green and the fountain bubbles in the background. It is the perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon or a sunset dinner. And being part of the vibrant Davis Street district, you can easily make an evening of it: start with cocktails at Rebar, then walk a few doors down to Local Station for dinner or Cotton Calf Kitchen for a steakhouse experience.
Just 12 minutes from Apalachee Farms, Rebar offers a dining experience that feels far removed from the everyday while being incredibly convenient. Whether you are meeting friends for drinks, enjoying a solo lunch, or having a date night, Rebar delivers a consistently excellent experience in one of Braselton's most historic spaces.
