This is a very cool speakeasy experience in downtown Macon. I highly recommend checking it out…read more They're a tiki themed bar located in a basement. The ambience is very fun and immersive. They specialize in rum based cocktails (and will publicly shame you if you order a vodka drink). Their menu was pretty huge and full of very interesting and fun looking drinks. The Big Willie D in particular was phenomenal and tasted like a coconutty White Russian. They also have a passport where if you try every drink on the menu you get access to their exclusive explorer's club menu. The staff added to the fun atmosphere by periodically making announcements and playing along with the crowd. You can tell that this is a very local, family owned business. A few things to note: -You MUST make a reservation and if you don't show up to that reservation you will have to pay a no-show fee. -You only get one hour in the bar per reservation. They rotate out the entire bar every hour on the hour. It's a fast paced but fun atmosphere. Defined not a sit back and relax type of cocktail lounge.

We ended…read moreup staying here and thought that the lounge attached to the hotel would be a nice place to hang out . Well, it has much to be desired. We went on 3 nights (Saturday,Sunday & Monday). Saturday night it was basically empty. We ordered 1 drink a piece which were pretty good actually, but there were only maybe 10 people including the bartender. There was NO entertainment, DJ, not even the Jukebox was playing so we left. Sunday night was karaoke and there were approx 25 people there with a DJ and it was decent until the hefty birthday girl and her buddies started twerking and acting silly on the stripper pole before they left. Sunday night we returned after hanging out downtown and realized that Robert Lee Coleman would be there, so we decided to check it out. His performance was wonderful. It is nice to see that he continues to play and enjoy his craft in his later years. I pray that the band of misfits he plays with are taking care of him and not using this elderly man for their financial benefit however meager it may be. The one young guitar player to his back left by the speaker appeared to be high/drunk not able to see or walk and had to be helped off stage. Once he sat down at a table he seemed to nod off several times before he was removed just to reappear a few minutes later full of energy and vitality. What did they do to him or give him I am not sure. But, a certain medication that will remain nameless, can be given to offset the bad effects I suspect he may have been given. Overall, I believe this place truly has potential it just needs the right owners, management, and staff to turn this place around.

A friend had an old fashioned and the A Certain Slant cocktail. He enjoyed both. One friend was alcohol intolerant and tried the Blanche Dubois which they enjoyed immensely. The vibe and aesthetic are cozy and elegant. Service was fast and welcoming. It took a moment to find the entrance. Though we did miss the initial sign pointing in the direction of the bar and then the bar sign hanging from the side of the building itself. The entrance is located directly to the right of Tokyo Alley. Loved the outdoor space walking up to the entrance itself. This could be amazing for warmer temperature days. Will be going back for sure!

Churchill's on Cherry is the definition of an elevated experience, tucked away in downtown Macon…read more When we first walked in downstairs, I honestly questioned if we had the right place. It felt understated, almost too quiet. Then we spotted the staircase, and those steps just kept going. Once we reached the top, all doubt disappeared. What awaited us was an elegant, thoughtfully curated cigar lounge that immediately impressed. I don't smoke cigars and typically avoid smoking establishments altogether because the smell lingers in my hair and clothes. To my surprise, Churchill's is extremely well ventilated. When we left, I didn't smell like I'd been in a cigar lounge at all, a huge win in my book. My husband is a bourbon lover and has been searching for a spot worthy of inviting "the fellas" when they're in town. I won't say his friends are pretentious, but they are gentlemen, and this is absolutely a place for men with class and prestige. Churchill's boasts a vast selection of premium liquor, easily the largest and most impressive bourbon and whiskey collection I've personally seen. The photos online truly don't do this place justice. The ambiance has a moody, blues-club vibe, upscale, sexy, and refined. I almost forgot I was in Macon. Smooth jazz instrumentals played in the background, setting the tone perfectly. Every detail was intentional, even down to the restroom, which was immaculate and elegant. Customer service was stellar. Genesis, our bartender, was jovial, attentive, and incredibly skilled. Despite the bar being filled to capacity, she made every guest feel like they had her undivided attention. One of the owners also made a point to greet each guest personally, welcoming us with warmth and genuine hospitality, a touch that never goes unnoticed. Since we had just come from dinner, we stuck to drinks. I ordered my favorite cocktail, a strawberry lemon drop martini, and it was made perfectly. My husband enjoyed an Old Fashioned that was equally well executed. No matter how premium your liquor selection is, it means nothing without quality ingredients and knowledgeable bartenders -- Churchill's has both. I can't wait to return so we can try the food. A few things to note: there is a 20% gratuity automatically added to each bill, which was well deserved in our experience. They are card-only, no cash accepted. And lastly, make sure you're sober enough to make it back down those stairs when you leave. Churchill's on Cherry is a gem for Macon. Classy, refined, and done right. This is how it's supposed to be.

They have an extensive selection of tequilas behind the bar. We were advised they don't really have add on flavors. So don't go expecting your basic Mexican restaurant margaritas like peach, mango, and/or strawberry, these here were definitely top tier. They only serve appetizers so you may want to grab a bite to eat beforehand if you're hungry. The service was good. It was quite early and not very crowded. The bartender stopped by our table to introduce herself and gave us a sample of one of the drinks. 9 out of 10. Definitely recommend!

It wasn't very busy when we came in so we experimented with a table right in front, but then moved to a table in the back once we discovered that the precious air conditioning was mostly flooding outside due to the open front door. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. We had a spicy margarita made with Cuervo 1800 and a tequila-based mojito. Both were well iced and tasty. While both drinks were nice as before or after dinner drinks, I would not normally drop $15 - $16 each for them. Stopping in here was more for the experience.

They charged me full price and up charged me a premium price. It took 30 minutes to get my hookah. The hookah was dirty, i could taste mint and licorice. My tobacco was Spice chi and Banana custard. I hate both mint and licorice. I told the waitress and she brought me a new hose and it still tasted of other tobacco! The waitress never came back to give fresh coals or ask if we needed anything. There were only two other guest in the place. I have been smoking and making hookah for years. This is a lace could be amazing if they had better customer service, better choice of tobacco and a better ambiance. BYOB is a great concept, but just know you can only bring liquor, no mixers are allowed, very odd. I went there twice and both times same issue. My tab was $35 for 1 hookah, no coal changes, with my own tobacco. To the owner; your place could be packed daily if you found the right servers and added some better tobacco choices to the menu. Fumari and Tangiers are way better tobacco than Starbuzz. True hookah lover will thank you and you will see regular customers. Also try having your employees do regular coal round every 10-15 minutes. Might want to try serving hot Tea as well. I lived in vegas 10 years and from California. I think your place could be amazing!
