OEB opens doors under new ownership

If you missed the Grand Opening of One Eyed Buffalo last Saturday, you missed a great time with a standing room only crowd.

Under new ownership with Binky and Jennifer Fisher, along with their partner Darin Homer from Casper, the OEB is now a family friendly sports bar featuring nine big screen televisions and a whole new menu.

Whether you're in the mood for a delicious flat bread pizza, smoked ribs, brisket or pulled pork, you'll find it at OEB.

There is also a full bar now, including domestic beers and a variety of wines.

Families are welcome, too, including kids, until the kitchen closes at 9:30 p.m. After that, it becomes strictly a bar with 21 and over only allowed on the premises.

"This was a good expansion opportunity for us," Jennifer Fisher said. "We have a really good crew at Stones Throw and everything runs smoothly, so now is a good time for us to branch out. We have always felt there was a definite need for a sports bar in Thermop."

In addition to the food and the sports on screen, Fisher is hoping to have live music as often as possible, especially on Saturday nights. She is waiting for some new lights, monitors and mics to be installed for open mic nights during the week.

You may want to consider the "Mug Club", where you purchase your mug and then receive a dollar off every beer you order in your mug for a year. Fisher is also planning a couple of special Mug Club parties during the year.

If you're wondering about the brewery itself, it will continue as soon as they receive their federal permit. For now, they have enough stock to last for a while, but once the permit is granted they will start brewing their own beer under the watchful eye of their head brewer, Scott Holman.

You can still enjoy the fall evenings at OEB back in the beer garden patio. A heater is taking the chill off for now and you can even purchase a cigar from the bar to enjoy with your drink.

One of the most unique additions is the "Do It Yourself" Bloody Mary bar. You purchase your glass of Vodka from the bar and then hop up front to the Bloody Mary bar where you'll find the mixer and a huge variety of veggies and other things to create your own, personal concoction.

The Bloody Mary bar is available from 10 until noon on Sundays.
