Since 1948

It started as a television bar

When Will Rogers opened the Stockleyville Tavern and Television Bar, television was in its infancy — you could pull in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and that was it. People came for the picture as much as the beer.

  • 1948Will Rogers opens the Stockleyville Tavern & Television Bar.
  • 1953Mr. and Mrs. Dan McCarren buy it — he ran tugboats in New York Harbor and spotted the place driving to Florida. Linwood “Cleve” Calloway hired as manager.
  • 1963Dan McCarren dies in November; his son Jim takes over. Cleve stays on.
  • 1960sEd Veasey takes ownership. Cleve manages until 1973.
  • TodayRenovated bar, full kitchen, same corner of Route 113.
