The Gathering Spot

The Gathering Spot is a private membership club for professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs, with locations in Atlanta, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles. Co-founded by Ryan Wilson and T.K. Petersen in 2016, the Atlanta original opened inside a repurposed rail facility in the North Yards business park, while the Los Angeles outpost occupies a historic building in the West Adams district. Each location combines a restaurant and bar, co-working space, and dedicated event space under one roof. The club draws together a deliberately varied membership — entrepreneurs, executives, filmmakers, musicians, lawyers, venture capitalists, artists, and politicians — with the intention of fostering cross-industry connection. Private events at The Gathering Spot are supported by an in-house culinary program featuring contemporary American cuisine with influences from the African diaspora and global travels. A national private events team works with clients across all three markets.
