Founded in 1882
Traverse City, Mich.

One of Michigan's oldest continuously run eateries, this tavern got its start as a favorite after-work spot for Bohemian immigrants. Sleder's decor still contains the original 21-foot mahogany bar fronted with a brass rail that in the early days contained 21 spittoons.
