The History of Eischen's Bar
(as taken from the flyer with the same name)

Eischen's Saloon was established in (not telling, it would ruin Tresokies' virtual) by peter Eischen and was opened until statehood and prohibition.

Eischen's Bar opened shortly after the end of prohibition by Nick and Jack Eischen, son and grandson of Peter Eischen. The massive back bar, a vital part of the history of Eischen's, was hand carved in Spain in the early 1800s. During the Gold Rush Days it was shipped to California. It was lost in time until it was brought back to Okarche in 1950 for the enjoyment of all who stopped by Eischen's.

On January 21, 1993, fire destroyed Eischen's and one of the things remaining is a small part of the antique back bar.

The Legend Lives On: On August 9, 1993, Eischen's Bar reopened. The small part of the antique back bar is on display along with several other mementos of the bar salvaged from the fire.

If your looking for a great place off the beaten path, go to Eischen's Bar in Okarche. It's the oldest bar in Oklahoma. They didn't even start serving food until the 1960's and it was for a prize for a shuffleboard tournament. The food was so good customers demanded they serve it regularly.

For those of you family types don't be afraid to go, it's more of a restaurant than a bar. The menu is very simple, they only serve 5 items. If you're not going there for the famous fried chicken and okra, you probably shouldn't be there. Bikers, car clubs and road-trippers across the world make this a pitstop as it is an Oklahoma icon and a must stop.

I recommend not going on a weekend unless you are willing to wait 2 or more hours to sit and another 1-2 hours for your chicken. On their busiest day ever they served around 700 whole chickens.

I left a spoiler hint, since this location is murder on GPS signals. Please don't give up the cache to muggles! There is a virtual cache nearby, GC276D. It was placed in November of 2001, making it one of the 50 oldest active caches in the state.
