Savannah's legendary supper club, operating from 1924 to 2020 — nearly a century. Famous for the "Dapper Dome" dining room with revolving colored lights, lamé-backed booths, and a Saturday night dance band. The signature barbecue sauce recipe is still sold commercially. The building was demolished after closing, ending an era.
