CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Business Courier) - A historic Newport bar that was founded as a garage that allegedly had ties to bootlegging during Prohibition just debuted food service with farm-to-table cuisine.

Jerry's Jug House at 414 E. Seventh St. in Newport began serving its new food menu with cuisine sourced from Bezold Farms, a Moscow, Ohio, farm owned by bar co-owner Stuart MacKenzie's uncle.
