For a Good Time....

August 6, 1943, Menasha Record

Good solid food served at the Home Plate Bar, a long time Menasha institution.  Back in 1920, the location was listed as the John B. Weisgerber & Sons Grocers, but by 1939, it was listed as George's Tavern.  I've found references to a George Weisgerber, presumably one of John's sons, being the manager of the Twin Cities Gold Labels baseball team, so a bar that morphed into the Home Plate Bar would be a natural progression, wouldn't it. I remember the bar from my younger days and a more recent search indicates the bar, then known as Becks Home Plate, closed forever on July 1, 2014.
