Game on! 🍻🔥

Ol’ Sporty got absolutely put through the wringer last night — and loved every second of it. Private party rolled in like it was 25¢ draft night in 1987 💸 Jukebox stuck on repeat 🎶 Complete pull tab mayhem 🎟️💥🍀

He made it through, though — a little beat up, a lot happy, and somehow Sporty is ready for more abuse today 😎

Back open to the public at 3 PM Sunday ⏰

Come help revive him… or pick up where they left off 🍺 Sporty thanks you all!💥

If you were there last night, drop your pics below! 📸👇

🍺 The oldest Rushville bar still standing and operating in its original form opens at 3 PM today and everyday! 🕒

The first record we find with the Indiana Alcohol Commission goes back to 1975 📜 — so we figure the first cold one slid across the bar just a few months after Sportsman was incorporated 🍻

Mr. Owen took over in 1980 👏 and the rest is Rush county bar history!

Got any old (or new) pics 📸 or stories 📖 from ole Sporty? DM them to us - we’d love to see ‘em!

🍺 ¡El bar más antiguo de Rushville que aún sigue en su forma original abre hoy a las 3 PM! 🕒

El primer registro con la Comisión de Alcohol de Indiana es de 1975 📜 — así que creemos que la primera cerveza fría se sirvió poco después de que Sportsman fue incorporado 🍻

El Sr. Owen compró Sportsman en 1980 👏 ¡y el resto es historia!
