GRANT'S LOUNGE // The legacy of Grant's Lounge is not only seen on its photo-clad walls,
but harmonized through the structure's sound and soul, which have been the "original
home of Southern rock" since 1971. The hallowed hall of Macon music was founded by
Edward Grant Sr. and now operated by his daughter, Cheryl Grant-Louder. Lovebirds
have flocked to the famed bar over the years and they still do. There is a rock 'n' roll
responsibility to uphold and cultivate such music-loving atmosphere, especially if you are
serenaded by those jazzy or blues tunes. Whether you want to be on the stage or in the
crowd, there is always a seat for you at Grant's Lounge.
