Mr. Jim said the building, which is more than 100 years old, housed Adolph s Cafe for decades. But the tavern has been greatly expanded in recent years. The bar area accommodates about 60 people, while the dining room seats another 315. Both decor and dress are casual. You may spot an occasional coat and tie, which usually means someone s celebrating a birthday or an anniversary.
All sandwiches come with pickles and potato chips.
The floor was packed, mostly with jitterbug dancers in their 40s or 50s. But there s something special about Sundays when the Lee s Junction Big Band is in the house. The atmosphere is more relaxed, and one need not be worried about banging shins with other dancers. While it s an older crowd, children and grandkids are welcome. Titles include In the Mood, and Pennsylvania 6-5000.
