About this business

Step into Clinton’s Soda Fountain, sit at the marble bar, and experience a moment in history. Decades ago, young Harry Truman worked at a pharmacy and soda fountain at this very location on Independence Square. Over the years, it housed a shoe store, jewelry shop, pharmacy, and soda fountain. Today, the charm and tradition of the old-fashioned soda fountain continues right down to the checkerboard floor. Take a peek at the 100-year-old marble countertop and wooden backdrop that were originally used at another soda foun... read more

They were able to make us dusty millers, even though they weren't on the menu.

Cute lil throw back soda fountain shop, but the staff was awful�. You walk in to what appears to be a "Sweet" shop, but the greeting and service was anything but. We felt as though we were a bother to be in the establishment today. May the two young ladies working the counter find a handbook on customer service and find some happiness in their job. �

Business response:

Thanks for the review! Stop in sometime when the festival isn't going on and you'll get a much more relaxed atmosphere for you to enjoy!
