Bars & Taverns

We have set out to create a place that can provide an indulgent escape and offer an experience capable of quieting the typical day-to-day distractions and noise. We want Wheat Penny to feel special & exploratory.

Welcome to Wheat Penny a speakeasy cocktail bar located downtown in the heart of Effingham, Illinois!

We are proud to be breathing new life into this building!
