Visit Shenanigans Restaurant Irish Pub In Georgia

Here’s a little bit of fun trivia for you—ever wonder why dollar bills hang from the ceilings and walls of saloons in certain spots in Georgia? Well, in the 19th century, sailors who were about to ship out would pin their dollars up so that they would have drinking money ready when they returned to shore. Crazy right? The tradition now has become something a bit different—a way for patrons to make their mark on a restaurant or bar.
