Does anyone remember this restaurant?
Baby Doe's Matchless Mine was a landmark in Atlanta in 1985. The two- tiered restaurant and bar was lodged into the side of a hill overlooking I-285. The restaurant served over 400 hundred and the nightclub was designed as a mine shaft below which opened into a complete dance and bar wonderland complete with couches and comfy chairs, bar stools, and a old wooden plank-style dance floor.
The basic layout included an entrance made to look like a mineshaft, flanked by various mining-related artifacts such as tipple cars on narrow gauge rails and rusting hoist machinery. Inside, "down the mineshaft" as it were, one of two paths led down to the bar, while the other ascended to a dining room. Both rooms were heavily clad in the dark, rough-hewn timbering resonant of the interior of a mine, while, at the same time being furnished in high Victorian chintz and carpeting. And, as if to provide further cognitive disonance, both public spaces enjoyed un-underworld-like floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing "the view."

I think I read that it was on Powers Ferry. Here is a picture;
