Why Not Just Call it the “Treason in Defense of Slavery Bar and Grill”?
By Circumstances in which naming your new business after Jefferson Davis are appropriate?
On behalf of our family at the Jefferson Davis Inn we would like to thank you for your support of the new “JDI.” Please join us for a private celebration to be held at six o’clock Saturday, March 2nd on the third floor of the new JDI. Heavy H’ordeuvres, beer and wine provided. Additional parking available at the car wash next door.
The Jefferson Davis Inn locally referred to as the “JDI” was originally located at West High and Limestone Streets where Jefferson Davis lived while attending Transylvania University. A historic marker still exists on the original building. The JDI was a popular bar that served good foods, spirits and great music until it closed in 1996. Now, the JDI is reborn.
Welcome to the new era of the JDI where the mahogany meets the oak, the hand cut stone embraces the fire, and the bourbon gets sipped nice and slow. In these new surroundings the gastro pub-fair is southern in grace, flavorful in charm and on every level you’ll find something new, and impressive. Whether you are looking for a big screen to watch the game, a bourbon bar to tantalize your taste buds, or a private room to have that special event, the JDI has something to offer everyone – a beautifully crafted tribute to good times of the past, and good times to come.
The JDI offers a wide array of decadent southern pub food including smoked on-site pulled pork, chicken and waffles, and a “JDI” burger that you won’t forget. If you have a sweet tooth try the funnel cake fries and tantalizing bananas foster waffle. With a dozen draft beers and nearly seventy choices of Kentucky Bourbon, the JDI has the beer and spirits for you.
None. Just… none.
