“Update:I DONT NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! high turnover on staff. every month there are new bartenders. Even when they over-serve an aggressive customer who then assaults you, they will blame you. They have cameras but will believe gossip instead. Numerous people have been banned for being a victim of assault. Bartenders have been fired for being friends of the victim. Bartenders have been fired for calling in because they had to take their dog into the emergency animal hospital. The day after I was assaulted and my glasses broke, I was lectured and blamed by the OWNER for causing another OVERSERVED CUSTOMER to assault me. If you come don’t talk and leave before people are overserved! Historic General store from 1870.In 1940, it transitioned into the great American rural tavern it is today. It’s s what Texas Roadhouse was before they sold out. No better authentic Tavern food around. Many bars, taverns, roadhouses, pubs, come and go, but there is a reason BUCKHART TAVERN had lasted 154 years. Great Beer, Great Food, Great Service, and Great People!“

“Hi, Greetings to owners of Mac’s Lounge. This is the daughter of the man that previously owned 13th and Cook. It was my father Leo B Saner who owned ‘Saner’s tavern’ and his father before him. I have so many fond memories of my dad’s tavern. We lived locally on S. 14th street and his brother and his family lived in the house that was connected and accessible from the tavern. I’m so happy to see that it still exists and I think it’s really neat what you have done with it. I live in Washington state but come there to visit friends and family that still live there. If and when I visit, I’d love to come and enjoy your reinvented and updated cool venue for your community to enjoy. I’d love to hear from you if you’d like. Best wishes, Tina (Saner) Symon.“
