Book with PearlWhy go
Clem & Arlies Bar is a good call for an easy drink inside Giant City Lodge, especially if the setting matters more than a detailed cocktail or wine program. Go for a relaxed lodge lounge experience with wines, beers, and spirits; choose Fork & Vine at Feather Hills Vineyard instead if the outing needs to revolve around wine.
About Clem & Arlies Bar
Clem & Arlies Bar is listed as a venue in Makanda, but Pearl does not have details beyond the venue name and city.
If you are deciding whether to include Clem & Arlies Bar in a Makanda itinerary, confirm the current details directly before you go. For broader planning, compare current information across other options and decide whether this should be a primary stop or simply something to consider.
Choose it only after confirming the current details
If your plans depend on any of those details, check the venue’s official channels before making Clem & Arlies Bar the anchor of the outing.
For comparison, Fork & Vine at Feather Hills Vineyard, Flame Bar And Grill, and St. Nicholas Brewing Co. MDH may be useful names to consider when you are weighing other dining or drinking options.

Use this as a thin-data listing, not a full review
The main fact is simple: Clem & Arlies Bar is in Makanda. Pearl cannot currently confirm a specific address, neighborhood, landmark setting, opening schedule, reservation approach, menu, beverage list, price range, outdoor seating, or takeout and delivery availability.
Big Muddy Brewing and Perennial Artisan Ales may also be worth looking up separately as you compare other options. For a broader trip, pair the venue decision with our full Makanda hotels guide.
Quick reference: consider Clem & Arlies Bar only after confirming current details directly; Pearl has the name and Makanda city, but not the venue’s specific offerings or operating details.
