Old Bag of Nails

About Us

I battered my first fish when I was ten, and my first pickle when I was twelve. I know what I'm doing.

I have my great-Uncle Gaylord's famous pub food recipes, and I also have his name. Believe me, I've had a much tougher time getting through life with this name than he did.

I called my pub ''The Old Bag of Nails'' because the first one was in an empty hardware store. My great-uncle Gaylord called his pub ''The Cauliflower Blowfish'' and I don't have the foggiest notion why.


And every day people stop by for great food, great spirits and an occasional hammer.

Eat. Drink. Enjoy yourself.
I sure do.
