Our story

Your local spot on Whiskey Road

A neighborhood bar & grill in Aiken, South Carolina.

  1. A new chapter on Whiskey Road

    Local Junction opened in the fall of 2024 at 1208 Whiskey Road, in the former Harry’s Local Bar & Restaurant space, after a renovation of the building.

  2. Where the name comes from

    The name is a tribute to Harry’s and to Whiskey Junction, a nightclub that once stood nearby.

  3. The cedar bars

    The indoor and outdoor bars are built from a deodar cedar that came down in the 2014 ice storm.

  4. Aiken on the walls

    The walls carry memorabilia from athletes with Aiken ties, along with a set of Thoroughbred racing silks that were donated to the bar.

  5. The squirrel

    The squirrel at the center of our seal was inspired by the fox squirrels of Hitchcock Woods and the Palmetto Golf Club.
