Howdy, history buffs, and burger lovers! π Ready for a trip to the past? Saddle up and head to Glur's Tavern in Columbus, Nebraska! π ποΈ Established way back in 1876 (yep, you read that right!), Glur's isn't just any old watering hole. It's the oldest continuously operated tavern west of the Missouri River! (And, of course, the Mississippi River? Or maybe not?) π Here's why Glur's is a must-visit: 𦬠Buffalo Bill Cody himself was a regular in the 1880s and early 1900s ποΈ It's on the National Register of Historic Places π Famous for its mouthwatering burgers (trust us, they're legendary!) But wait, there's more! π πΊ Sip on cold brews in the charming beer garden π Shoot some hoops on the outdoor basketball court π Spike it on the sand volleyball court Imagine sinking your teeth into a juicy burger where Buffalo Bill once sat or clinking glasses in a saloon that's seen over 145 years of history! π€― So, whether you're a history enthusiast, a foodie, or just looking for a unique experience, Glur's Tavern has got you covered! π»π Come for the history, stay for the burgers, and leave with wild west tales to tell! π€ β¨ #GlursTavern #HistoricBar #WildWestLegend #BuffaloBillWasHere β βWe are rough men and used to rough ways.β β Bob Younger. β Classic Rock song: "Desperadoβ by Eagles β Please email me about your experiences with old, long-existing restaurants and taverns! βHere is the Premium Subscription page: You will get early views of new blog posts, one extra weekly newsletter, and views of all past published newsletters.
