Circa 1886 To Host a Bourbon & Bacon Dinner
After a short break, Circa 1886 is set to hold another dining event on Wednesday, October 29th at 6:30 pm. The restaurant will host a Bourbon and Bacon Dinner featuring multiple courses, drink pairings, a book signing, and of course, a romantic setting.
Morgan Murphy, a Southern Living cookbook author, will be the guest of honor as the restaurant celebrates his new book Bourbon & Bacon.
