expanded our space to include the full<br />

rooftop as accessible for events.”<br />

<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 />

beginning,” Rigby said. “We love doing<br />

business in Middle Georgia and have<br />

“The staff around us is top tier,” Rigby<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 />
