🍔 This iconic Glen Arbor eatery will be joining us for the Leland Wine & Food Fest! Learn a little more about the one and only Art's Tavern Glen Arbor:
"Art’s Tavern has been Glen Arbor’s neighborhood gathering place since opening its doors in 1934. But, to tell the full story, we should probably go a little bit earlier to when it was owned by Frank Sheridan and called the Blue Goose. In 1926, Frank built the saloon, and served beer through the Depression. The establishment prospered until Frank’s untimely death in 1934 from accidental electrocution (he was trimming the oak tree next to the saloon and made contact with a nearby power line).
Enter Art Sheridan – Frank’s son – who renamed the bar for himself. Art’s Bar became Art’s Tavern, while enduring renovation, electrical fire (we are very careful about electricity these days!) and rebuilding to the flat-topped brick and concrete building we all know and love today. Art Sheridan died in 1970 and his wife, Mary, ran things for the next 16 years. After a shift in ownership in the mid 80s, the current owners, Tim Barr & Bonnie Nescot, purchased Art’s Tavern in 2000. And they’ve been at the helm ever since. When not taking a role in the day-to-day management of the place, Tim is often found inside, sitting with regulars at the bar or chatting with visitors over lunch. He’s also the one who is regularly mistaken for Art, to which he’ll simply reply: “I’m not Art!” Meanwhile Tim’s wife, Bonnie, is the one who helps make it all tick – she handles the books and everything office-related."
