Throughout the Depression, Frank Sheridan served beer in this tavern, The Blue Goose. He died tragically in 1934 and his son, Art, took over. He renamed the tavern after himself and ran it until his death in 1970. Tim Barr and Bonnie Nescott have owned it since 2000. There is a stained glass portrait of Art, holding a beer and a burger, hanging in the window. Tim is often mistaken for him. The entire space is decorated with college and other pennants and more are always welcome. The pool table is lowered underground in summer when extra space is needed for visitors.
