Knickerbocker Saloon
Established in 1835 as the "Cherry Wood Bar" of the Lahr Luxury hotel, and issued Indiana's very first Liquor License. This is the fact Indiana's OLDEST bar!!
Over the last 172 years, Knickerbocker has had many restorations, including the replacement of the orignal bar in 1891 to what you see now. The current bar was hand crafted by Dutch immigrant craftsmen, entirely of solid cherry and black walnut; a truly magnificent masterpiece. The entertainment room behind the bar was added in the early 1980s, allowing the Knickerbocker to host nationally touring Jazz and Blues acts including Kenny Neil, Tommy Castro, and Coco Montoya to name a few. Adding Rock'n'Roll to the music line-up, the Knickerbocker has a renewed freshness without sacrificing the quality, class and style that has made the Knickerbocker the discerning customer's choice for conversation and libation!
In addition, The Knickerbocker boasts a guest list including President Grant, Mark Twain, Al Capone, and even Neil Armstrong.
