Tonight is our 25th bar of this 365 tavern tour and that means there’s just 340 more stops left to go!

In honor of this special occasion, I thought we’d travel over to the Kickapoo Creek Saloon. I really don’t have a reason for this, but sometimes that’s the best reason of all!

Come on, let’s head on out to bar number 25!

Bar Number 25: Kickapoo Creek Saloon, Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Here we are at the Kickapoo Creek Saloon, the saloon formerly known as Ludy’s!

The kitchen is open seven days a week, but I already had dinner. They are celebrating 150 years of Budweiser, though and I’ll definitely join in on that celebration!

I wondered why this table had a “Hanley” logo on it and then I did some research and found out that “Hanley” is the last name of the owner of this building. I research so you don’t have to. You’re welcome!

There’s our destination: The bar! There’s a seat there at the end of it, so let’s snag it and get settled in!

Brooke was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and in keeping with the Budweiser celebration, she delivered me a fresh can of Bud! Cheers!

Dakoda was sitting next to me at the bar and I had a nice chat with him. And yes, he spells his name with a “d” at the end. It’s not a typo!

There’s the drink and food specials that happen in here on a daily basis!

The dining room is located oppostie of the bar.

They have a map on this wall with tacks stuck in it from where people come from that have visited here. As you can see, people have come from all over the country to check this place out! Very cool!
