Here’s a little bit of fun trivia for you—ever wonder why dollar bills hang from the ceilings and walls of saloons in certain spots in Georgia? Well, in the 19th century, sailors who were about to ship out would pin their dollars up so that they would have drinking money ready when they returned to shore. Crazy right? The tradition now has become something a bit different—a way for patrons to make their mark on a restaurant or bar. This one particular restaurant in Georgia has been collecting dollar bills as decor for years, and if you want an unusual yet delightful dining experience, then this is it.

Shenanigans Restaurant & Irish Pub in Dahlonega, Georgia is the type of place where you know you’ll get an ice cold beer and some home-style pub food as soon as you walk in.

But perhaps what you notice most about this unusual restaurant are the hundreds, if not thousands, of dollar bills taped to the ceilings and the walls.
