<strong>In</strong> terms of local support, Rigby said her<br />
family couldn’t be more thankful for the<br />
community and their business.<br />
post about it and gain attention for a killer picture — and one they<br />
are proud to show off, too. It makes us proud to provide such a<br />
unique place.”<br />
Rigby said the bar is always operating with a celebration in mind,<br />
mentioning a couple of festive times of the year at Gracie’s.<br />
“New Year’s Eve is always a fun time with our disco ball drop at<br />
midnight,” Rigby said. “We also offer a package special for the<br />
Igloos as well.<br />
“Last year, we included two hours in the Igloo, a bottle of<br />
champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. This is a great<br />
addition to an overnight stay, romantic dinner or even Galentine’s.”<br />
“<strong>Houston</strong> <strong>County</strong>, the City of Warner<br />
Robins and the Robins Regional Chamber<br />
have absolutely supported us from the<br />

said. “Our team amazes me in what we<br />
accomplish and can execute. It starts from<br />

and not only sees it, but makes it happen.”<br />
Gracie’s acts as part of a broader system of businesses, including<br />
the previously mentioned Best Western Plus Executive Residency,<br />
Rigby’s Entertainment Complex, Rigby’s Water World and The<br />
Patio at Rigby’s.<br />
If you wanted a full dinner and a drink, the Rigby family opened<br />
Walk-On’s just next door back in November. Also, multiple other<br />
food options are located within a mile of Gracie’s.<br />
Beginning mid-year <strong>2023</strong>, Gracie’s will start accepting bookings<br />
for “The Overlook,” a 300-person capacity rooftop space fit for<br />
weddings, receptions and large celebrations.<br />
“We have hosted countless holiday parties, business events,<br />
rehearsal dinners, receptions, birthday celebrations and<br />
anniversary celebrations,” Rigby said. “Since we have been so<br />
