About Us
In 1863, during the Civil War, a man by the name of C.B. Eaton appeared on the scene in Grafton, Illinois. It was he who built our tavern's own namesake. Originally named The River House, the fine establishment was better known as The Bloody Bucket.
We currently have live music every Saturday during our peak season. Our entertainment line-up features local musicians playing a variety of styles including Americana, Rock, Blues, and Country.
Our signature cocktail menu includes our famous Bloody Marys, Kentucky Mules, Old Fashioneds, Mom's Bourbon Slush, and more.
