🍻 Step Back in Time at Glur's Tavern: A Slice of Wild West History! 🀠


Howdy, history buffs, and burger lovers! πŸ‘‹ Ready for a trip to the past? Saddle up and head to Glur's Tavern in Columbus, Nebraska! 🐎

🏚️ 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?) πŸ†

Here's why Glur's is a must-visit:

🦬 Buffalo Bill Cody himself was a regular in the 1880s and early 1900s

πŸ›οΈ It's on the National Register of Historic Places

πŸ” Famous for its mouthwatering burgers (trust us, they're legendary!)

But wait, there's more! πŸŽ‰

🍺 Sip on cold brews in the charming beer garden

πŸ€ Shoot some hoops on the outdoor basketball court

🏐 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! 🀯

So, whether you're a history enthusiast, a foodie, or just looking for a unique experience, Glur's Tavern has got you covered! πŸ»πŸ”

Come for the history, stay for the burgers, and leave with wild west tales to tell! 🀠✨

Featured Post: Glur’s Tavern hosted Buffalo Bill Cody, among other famous β€œOld West” characters. Here’s a link to a trip through Nebraska on I-80 that Buffalo Bill called home for part of his life. There’s a museum and a ranch to see. The museum is right on I-80.
