The Augusta Club, formerly the iconic Florian II Supper Club in Baileys Harbor, will open in July after staying in the Kwaterski family, who has owned it since 1953.  Twin brothers Jerry and Joe Kwaterski, along with their wives Mindy and Tina, respectively, sold the property to Jerry’s son Shane and daughter-in-law Maddy at the end of 2023. The new name of “Augusta Club” is in honor of Shane’s great-grandmother, Augusta Walther, who created many of the original supper club’s recipes.  Opening on July 4th, the facility will initially focus on live music and entertainment on Tuesdays, along with hosting community and private events with a full bar offering light food and snacks.  Shane and Maddy say they are proud to keep the property and building in the family for a fourth generation. 

Jerry and Joe took over the business from their parents, Florian and Ada, in 1972 after the FlorAda Club burned down in 1971 from an electrical fire.
