After fire destroys Billy's Clubhouse in Macon, regulars and business owners reflect

The bar on Riverside Drive was still serving its ordinary patrons, but there were some additional drinkers in the crowd. They were there to mourn the loss of one of their favorite local watering holes — a spot just five minutes up the road owned by the same folks that run 20’s Pub. Billy’s Clubhouse, located on Forest Hill Road just off Northside Drive, was destroyed early Sunday morning in a fire that also razed other businesses in a shopping plaza. The cause of the inferno was unclear as of Monday evening, as was the bar’s future. But regulars from Billy’s Clubhouse made their way to 20’s Pub instead, using the sort of sister location as a de facto headquarters to imbibe and remember the spot on Northside Drive. “When you look at the parking lot tonight, it is nothing but packed and it’s double the size, but when you walk in, it’s all Billy’s people,” said Danielle Bone, a regular at both Billy’s Clubhouse and 20’s Pub.
