Linneman's opened in the summer of 1993 after an intense eight month remodeling project. Owner Jim Linneman and carpenter friend Jim Gable set out to restore the 1902 character to the bar that been lost over the years with previous remodeling efforts.

The result successfully reestablished the turn-of-the-century charm to the old tavern that had been hidden with "modernizing." When adding "new" items to the tavern, every effort is made to keep the Old World charm intact!

Being an intense lover of popular music, and a musician himself, Jim began operating acoustic open stages on Wednesday nights, an event that still takes place today.

Many of the performers who frequented the open stage either played in bands, or improved enough to start one, which led to Linneman's having livie music on weekends.
