A small beer?
A large beer?
A beer in a bottler or a can?
(Or served from a bucket on a side street in HCMC?)
Draught beer?
A microbrew?
A lager, stout, or ale?

There is a place in Panama City called Los Bovedas. GREAT food, GREAT drinks and GREAT LIVE JAZZ on Friday nights. "la musicia en vivo" A restaurant and bar in a 300+ year old dungeon.

The only link per se I could find, was this. I was there last in 2008.

I think about the only "old" restaurant we have around here would be Toby's Tavern. Its more of a dive bar than a restaurant, but they serve half decent food. It goes back close to 70 years.

And then there is the Hereford here also, but I don't think it is actually that old.

These pics are not very recent, that barn is falling apart and the sign has a lot more wear and tear on it these days.

The Smithville Inn dates back to stagecoach days, at least 1787 as an inn. The town is of course older.



The Smithville Inn

With a bar, a tavern, several dining areas, and accommodations for weddings, etc. they do a very nice job of making your event special.

I'll have to dig up more history on it...I remember there being more online somewhere.

I've been to The Buckhorn Exchange and several other old CO restaurants.

None as old as this... http://www.76house.com/profile.html

I once lived in an old stone house a couple miles away from '76 House. It was built in 1707 or so... also must have played a role in the Revolution. On the property was the ruins of an old mill powered by the SparKill. 'Twas a very bucolic setting.

Tappan, NY is really an incredible place. There are old graveyards with Revolutionary War soldiers buried. But the oldest graves have headstones written in Dutch and are extremely weathered.

The DeWint House is very interesting: http://www.dewinthouse.com/history.html

I also once lived for a time in Merrimack, NH and there were similar graveyards and other spooky stuff.

Fun short story FJR.....thank you.


The Haunted Hamburger.....

Jerome, Arizona

The restaurant is about 40 years old. But the building is much older and has an interesting history. Great views toward Sedona.

Here is our families "1900" location. :sombrero:
Large building included General Store, Tavern, Restaurant & Hotel.

Year "1910"

Year "1902"

Sadly the above location is no longer, it was taken down in the 50's in the name of progess.

Has anyone been to the Bald Pate Inn south of Estes Park, CO? It has been several years since I was last there, but I really enjoyed it.

Wife and I had dinner at the Gumbo's in Round Rock, TX a while back. While the restaraunt isn't that old, the building started out in 1848 as a stage stop.
