Baby Doe's Matchless Mine - Legendary '80s Restaurant in Marietta, GA Kids Hoodie

Baby Doe’s Matchless Mine was a three-story restaurant and bar jutted out over I-285 above the Chattahoochee River in the 1980s.With its tin roof, water tower, and tipple cars, the ramshackle wooden structure looked like a theme-park attraction. The entrance resembled a mineshaft, which led either up to the dining room or down to the bar and dance floor. Decor was fringed Victorian lampshade–meets–rusting pickax. This location at Powers Ferry Road was actually part of a seven-city national chain named for Elizabeth “Baby Doe” Tabor, an infamous gold-digger (silver, to be accurate) who married a wealthy Colorado mining mogul twice her age in the late 19th century.
