Built in 1863, the elaborate solid Mahogany bar measures 24 feet long and 9 feet high with an opulent serving back bar and polished brass foot rail. The bar is also well traveled having been brought up on a barge via the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Louisiana to Cairo, Illinois. From Cairo it was moved to a Brookport, Illinois roadside tavern. General Ulysses S. Grant reportedly "bellied up to this very bar" while in Cairo during the Civil War.
