Built in 1904, Serving Ridgeway Since 2014

The Olde Town Hall building on South Palmer Street in Ridgeway, South Carolina

In 1904 this building opened as Ridgeway's original Town Hall, with a courtroom upstairs and jail cells that are still in the building today.

Over the decades it housed several other businesses. Then came a major renovation, and in October 2014 it reopened as Olde Town Hall Restaurant & Pub: a family-owned restaurant and bar serving steaks, seafood and shrimp & grits inside the old town hall.
