Must be bars that are still open as bars. There's one in my hometown that was established in 1725, but is now a museum.

maybe it wasn't making any money. Most business owners won't mess-with-success... if the business is profitable.

I can't say if it was making money before or not, but I do know that every time in went in Wideman's it was packed. After the change of owners, who "modernized" the building, I can state for sure it's not making any money.

I read this as "oldest bras", and that didn't seem very interesting.
