Have you ever heard of Generations? It’s a legendary restaurant and pub in Wheeling, West Virginia that has been owned and operated by the very same family – the Duplaga clan – for four (yes, four) generations! When a local business has been going strong for that many years, you know it’s going to be good, and Generations does not disappoint.

Once upon a time, a small restaurant and pub opened in Wheeling, West Virginia. Known as “The Swing Club,” this eatery quickly became a popular local hangout.

Several decades after opening, The Swing Club underwent a name change. It became “Generations.” That’s the other thing this restaurant pub is known for: four generations of ownership by the very same family.

That’s right, the Duplaga family has owned and operated Generations Restaurant and Pub for years, handed down from one generation to the next three times.

At Generations, patrons come to relax. They come for the music. They come for the food. They come to enjoy the 1,000-square-foot outdoor patio. They come for a good time.
