You’ll find both at the Gin Mill Galleries. With instant classics like the best selling Fried Bologna Sandwich (two ways…with or without onions) and Tom’s Famous Cool Moon dessert, the menu is packed with the down-home cookin’ you’d expect to find in a truly Southern establishment! Oh and we cook steaks on the grill on Sundays weather permitting’ (and it usually does)! Nothin’ compliments great food like great music. Featuring original acts from all around the region, the Gin Mill Galleries is the perfect place to grab a drink and wind down….or up! Pretty soon we’ll have our wine cellar finished as well. Built out of the old gin cotton scales, it’ll be a one of a kind cellar that is unlike anything around! http://www.ginmillgalleries.com/ THE HISTORIC CLUB EBONY INDIANOLA, MISSISSIPPI COUNT BASIE, B.B.
