The Antique Bar

Lower level

The bar came off a New Orleans-to-Baltimore steamboat, around 1910. We took it apart by hand, drove it to Deep Creek and rebuilt it here. Stools along it, a slot machine beside it, and the big TV in the same room.

In this space

  • A rebuilt 1910 steamboat bar
  • Stools along the bar
  • The Bearly Legal slot machine
  • The same open lower level as the game room — one TV, one fireplace, shared
  • Bar glasses are in the house — ask Bertha where
