Downtown Sylacauga needed some revitalization. Residents Alan and Julie Sanders hoped to drive new businesses to the area and keep the town growing, so they reached out to Clay County native Kelly Prince with the idea of opening a cocktail bar. Prince has an affection for New Orleans culture, so she wanted to inject some Bourbon Street flair into the bar.

Bourbon on Broadway opened its doors in February of 2022 and has become a favorite hangout for lake area residents and visitors alike.
