Came to visit Effingham for the first time just a random day trip. This place was on my to go list. The drink prices are pretty cheap, the only downside to that was some of the patrons that appeared to be regulars were way too drunk, no such thing as inside voices. They yelled at another another which was a tad bit annoying...cursing like pirates. The gaming room/area wasn't as big as I'd like it to be.. maybe like 6 chairs elbow to elbow. They had a dj, the music was good..overall I enjoyed myself outside of the yelling. Id be willing to try it out a second or third time. Oh and yes I won some monies.

Had martinis tonight! So good! I had a lemon drop martinis and it tasted like eating a lemon meringue pie!

A true gem 1920's cocktails, including classic martinis, and negronis. Not to mention the best Bloody Mary! Be sure and say hello to Jeremiah! Cheers friends!

I was absolutely blown away by this lovely corner bar on the square in downtown Effingham. Jeremiah was also the best bartender I’ve ever encountered. He was eager to share his vast wealth knowledge of bourbon, cocktails. The smoked drinks were incredible.
