Southgate House Southgate

Newport's Southgate House is a historic old building that is currently home to a rock club that has a strong reputation for being one of the region's best.

It also has something of a reputation of being haunted, but this is not so strong and not so well-founded. Reports on the web are sketchy and among people I've made inquiries to in person, most are of a highly anecdotal type: "Dude, a friend of mine said he saw a beer bottle fall over by itself", and so forth. If someone has some
seriously detailed and verifiable reports of paranormal hauntings, I'd love to hear them.

According to the bar's website, the Southgate House story is drenched with historical goodies: built in 1814, it has hosted Abraham Lincoln, John Taliaferro Thompson, he was born here and invented the Tommy Gun. Troops of General Sherman's soldiers on their way to fight in the Texan War for Independence and a lot more.

You can find the Southgate House at 24 East 3rd street, Newport, KY
