Glur's Tavern - Oldest Bar in Nebraska!

My mission to drink a beer at the oldest bar of all 50 states of the USA has brought me to the town of Columbus, Nebraska. Glur's Tavern is the oldest bar in the Cornhusker State, slinging drinks to thirsty farmers and pioneers since 1876. Even Buffalo Bill Cody frequented this tavern on the prairie while touring the country on his famous Wild West show.

Not only is Glur's Tavern coined the oldest bar in Nebraska, it also claims to be the oldest continuously operating bar west of the Missouri River! Much of the building looks exactly like it did in the late 1800's, with a large edition and renovation that took place in 1987. Glur's is a treasure of a tavern and one of my personal favorite bars in the USA.

So come on down - saddle up at the bar for some local Nebraska taps (Nebraska has some excellent beer selections), grab a juicy burger fried behind the bar (fresh Nebraska meat), and listen to the many stories from long-time owner Todd Trofholz. Before you realize it you'll be walking outside thinking to yourself...Last night was a Glur!
