In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

The bar tender did a great job with my special request. The kitchen did a great job splitting our meal with a lovely presentation. Our salad was a little heavy on the dressing and red onion. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. We appreciated being able to make a reservation and get in and out of there for a concert.

The food is good, a bit on the expensive side. Although everything seems to be heading that way. Good bourbon list.
