Since 1898

The building remembers more than we do

The pub sits in a building put up in 1898 by E. P. West and Company, though most people around here still remember it as Carey’s Department Store. When the room was renovated the original brick came back into the light, brick that was hauled into Clarkesville by horse and buggy.

The rest of what you see on the walls was collected over the years: a confiscated moonshine still, the hand carved bar, and a canoe from a movie that was filmed just up the road.

What people say

I was a bit nervous walking in as it looked like a locals only spot but boy am I glad I wandered in!

Probably one of the best Reuben sandwiches I’ve had in some time.

The restaurant is very quaint and decorated with relics from the area. It was a real treat to see them and the original brick walls.

Ted Fleming Google review

We love this home town bar and grill! It is our “go to ” on a weekly basis! We’ve tried most everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed.
