Boerne’s original cherry wood and mahogany bar has moved up and down Main Street for over 150 years … the story of the Max Beseler Bar after this …

The second oldest bar in Texas was first housed in a saloon built by August Staffle in 1869.  20 years later,  Max Beseler’s Metropolitan Saloon opened with that bar where the Black Rifle and the Chamber of Commerce now reside.  During Prohibition, Max moved the bar next door to what is now home of the Daily Grind where it was used to serve ice cream and pickled eggs until 1974.  After a brief stay in the Dienger, the bar was moved to the 2nd floor of Boerne’s Frost Bank. This historic bar is now at its forever home in The Richter Tavern at 153 Main - home of the Beseler Flip cocktail in Beseler’s honor… who flipped drinks behind this bar for 50 years.
