Our Story

A Legacy of Exploration and Pioneering

Proper Grit Whiskey Library & Supper Club is more than just a restaurant; it is a tribute to the spirit of exploration and the rich history of West Palm Beach. Our story begins with the Dewey family, whose roots in this vibrant community date back to the 1800s. Byrd and Fred Dewey, visionaries and pioneers, embarked on a journey that would shape the future of this beautiful region.

A Tribute to Adventure

At Proper Grit, we celebrate the spirit of adventure that Byrd Dewey so cherished. Our Whiskey Library & Supper Club is designed to be a place where stories are shared, and new memories are made. Each dish we serve and each drink we pour is a nod to the Deweys' adventurous spirit and their contribution to the community. 

Culinary Excellence with a Historical Twist

Our menu is a blend of traditional and innovative flavors, much like Byrd's literary works that combined classic storytelling with fresh perspectives. We strive to create a dining experience that honors the past while embracing the future. From our carefully curated whiskey selection to our expertly crafted dishes, every element of Proper Grit is infused with the Dewey family's legacy of exploration and pioneering.
