Gilligan’s Bar and Grill was established in 1993 by George and Leah Lois. Through their hard work and diligence, Gilligan’s has become a premier dining establishment in the Capital area. It is their goal to provide their patrons with outstanding service and exceptional food. Both locations offer both casual and fine dining and both locations strive to not only meet, but exceed the expectation of our customers.
