THIS IS WHERE OUR STORY FALLS INTO PLACE.....THIS GREAT BUILDING WE ARE GATHERED AT TODAY WAS ONCE A VERY REPUTABLE DISTILLING ESTABLISHMENT LIKE MENTIONED BEFORE. IN 1904, THE "KENTUCKY DISTILLING CO." OPENED THE DOORS AT THIS VERY LOCATION. AS THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT GAINED STEAM, THE COMPANY SWITCHED OWNERSHIP AND BECAME THE "LOUISVILLE DISTILLING CO." AFTER ONLY ONE YEAR. "THE LOUISVILLE DISTILLING CO." SERVICED THE SAVANNAH AREA WITH "MEDICINAL" WHISKEY AND OTHER GRAINED ALCOHOLS, BUT ONLY MANAGED TO SURVIVE UNTIL 1907. BY 1914, THE NUMBER OF DISTILLERIES IN THE UNITED STATES HAD DROPPED TO 434 AND THROUGHOUT THE PROHIBITION YEARS TO 33.

   FOLLOWING THE BRIEF DISTILLING BUSINESS, THIS BUILDING WAS HOME TO A PHARMACY, FURNITURE STORE, AND NUMEROUS CLUBS. WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE RETURN OF THE ORIGINAL THEME OF THIS HISTORIC BUILDING. WE OFFER OUR GUESTS THE FINEST WHISKEYS AND SPIRITS AS WELL AS MICRO-BREWED ALES AND LAGERS TO ACCOMPANY OUR VAST MENU OPTIONS. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR COMING TO VISIT THIS FINE ESTABLISHMENT AND WE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE MANY RETURNS!
