The Goble Tavern is now owned by Mike
Avent and Meryl Head, and has a capacity of about 85 when a band
is performing. They have carried on the tradition of decorating
the tavern with music paraphernalia of all sorts, one-of-a kind
gadgets, and select odds and ends that gives one the perspective
of an antique dealer's party room (which isn't far from
the truth).
Music is one of the many things that
makes the Goble Tavern unique. The small bar offers an outdoor
stage, originally created for Goble Warming and other events. Inside is a
comfortable stage area with a variety of seating options. So
relaxed, you feel like you have found a home away from home! All
this and still enough room to kick up your shoes a little and
dance.
With the renovation, the interior
structure may look a bit different, but they did maintain a
couple warbles in the floor for history sake! You may have
to explore the tavern a bit to spot them, but they are definitely
still there.
The tavern serves as a meeting place
for several hundred residents who live up in the hills, although
the attraction of the legendary tavern draws people from all over
the country.
To show this to be true, Willie Nelson
was a teen-ager in the area surrounding Goble; his mother used to
bartend at the tavern, and Hank Williams did a one-night stand
there in the late '40s.
In other words, you can never tell who
will show up at this continuing link in history. Please check our calendar for up coming music
and events.
We view this as on ongoing project as
well - to share the history of Goble and the Goble Tavern. Please
feel free to contact us
with any stories, photos, or just to say
hi!
