About us

Having grown up behind the tavern, Chuck Bigler purchased it with the mission of preserving its integrity and authenticity for future generations. The comforts, charm, and atmosphere that appealed to settlers and travelers back in 1893 has been infused with the energy and integrity of over a century of patrons from all walks of life.

The ambiance of old-world Swiss tradition, a commitment to local foods and drink blends, and the contemporary energy of the local community and its visitors allow Puempel's Olde Tavern to thrive as a throwback to a simpler time.
