Buffalo Restaurant & Bar

Description

About the Buffalo Restaurant The Buffalo Restaurant and Bar is a combination of four different buildings ...each of them rich in history and legend. The main building is the core and was built in 1881. It was the home of the Golden Rule Mercantile Store. The other adjoining buildings have flourished as feed stores, hotels, and a recording studio. The main building of the Buffalo was remodeled and opened as a billiard hall in 1906. John Rohner, who fought for the heavyweight championship of the world, ran it. Mr. Rohner was a bartender in the building next door, originally the Worth Bar, built in 1904. Rohner asked Worth for a 5 cent a day raise, and was promptly turned down. He stomped out, vowing to put Worth out of business. True to his word, he bought and remodeled this building and in 1906 opened it as John Rohner’s Bar and Billiard Hall.
