Our Story

Hooples is a historic bar located in the heart of Bremen, Indiana. Open since 1882, it’s one of the oldest operating bars in the state and a proud local landmark. Founded by Civil War veteran C.J. Hoople, it began as a simple saloon and quickly became a favorite neighborhood gathering spot.


Through Prohibition, the Great Depression, and two World Wars, Hooples has remained a place where cold drinks, good food, and community come together. Today, we’re known for our laid-back atmosphere, live music, weekly events, and the award-winning Hoople Burger locals swear by.


Open seven days a week, Hooples is more than a bar—it’s a piece of small-town history where everyone feels like a regular.
