The Jailhouse

food drink

The Jailhouse sits on the corner of Joy Street, identifiable by the dark stone facade and the thick, barred windows that still cling to the exterior. It began as a Victorian prison for women in the mid nineteenth century. Back then, the cells housed those arrested for minor offenses like theft or public disorder. A century later, the iron gates opened to a different crowd, as the building shifted into a restaurant that kept the original stone walls and heavy cell doors intact.
