Our 1920's Inspired

Speakeasy Bar

The exuberance of the Jazz Age meets warm Southern charm in our Prohibition-style bar. Make yourself comfortable on a green leatherback stool, allow our cocktail artisan to conjure up a refreshment reminiscent of the 1920s, and indulge in a selection of sophisticated bar plates. The Bar also serves fine wine and a variety of local and regional craft brews.
