Tusquitte Tavern
Tusquittee Tavern has been in business since May 2013. MacRay and Fran Nettles came up with having a local private club in Tusquittee. They had hoped to have 100 members. They are now in their 4th year and have over 700 members and are still going strong. TT, as everyone calls it, has become a favorite hang out for all its members. They have music every Friday and Saturday. Many times on Sunday you will see some of the locals just show up for a little “picking and grinning”.
They have definitely filled a need in the community.
Clay county had been dry for over 40 years. In 2009 a strong group of people put on the ballot to have the sale of liquor. Many churches were not in favor. Surprisingly it passed by over 60% in favor of selling liquor, selling beer and liquor by the drink. If that had not passed we would not have Tusquittee Tavern.
Tusquittee Tavern is a true "Cheers" type tavern. Everyone is on a first name basis. Last names are not shared and they say that what happens at Tusquittee Tavern stays at Tusquittee Tavern.
