Dun-Bar

The village bar in Dunbar, in northern Otoe County between Syracuse and Nebraska City. Dunbar has been a bar town since the 1880s, when the village supported two saloons alongside its hotels and liveries; The Dun-Bar is what remains of that trade and it functions as the village’s gathering place as much as its bar. Hours are the short, local ones typical of a village this size — phone ahead rather than driving in on spec.
