antebellum home

fortunately the town of jug tavern (winder) was untouched during the civil war. in the winder downtown historic district are a number of beautiful antebellum homes. for those interested in pre-civil war architecture downtown winder is worth a visit.

ge ge's restaurant and bar

ge ge's is really a combination restaurant and nightlife tip. ge ge's is the best bar in winder. ge ge's is also a very good southern and cajun restaurant. this new restaurant and bar has a very nice comtempory decor and is very "upscale" for a small georgia town. on a visit to winder ge ge's is the place to eat and drink.

Dress Code: casual.
