The building operated as The Brown Jug before Prohibition forced it to close, then reopened in 1933 after the ban was lifted. It took its current name in 1939 and has continued operating under that name since then.
The exterior of this place became famous as the cover location for Huey Lewis and the News' 1983 album Sports, connecting it to the local music scene of that decade. Visitors often come specifically to see the setting that appeared on that widely recognized album cover.
The bar opens at 2 PM on weekdays and midnight on weekends, staying open until 2 AM, with earlier closing times possible outside peak season. Hours may shift during football season, so checking ahead before planning your visit is a good idea.
