Reply to comment by Jahooodie in Merry Prohibition Repeal Day! What are the oldest bars in JC? (Also have a horrible Krampusnacht) by Jahooodie

The bars that are now Lighthorse and Iron Monkey have been bars for about 100 years. Just not the same owners, not the same names, closed for stretches (including prohibition), but were always bars from what I understand.

edit: Also does Keyhole count since it was Rolon's before then sold? Barge Inn may be the answer. Or how old is Indio's?

This is the conversation I wanted to start going, hopefully someone is as curious as I am to piece things together.
