McCleary's only tavern has been closed for two or three years now. The space has always been a bar ever since the building was constructed ca. 1950.
The adjoining storefront was originally Billie's Cafe in the 1950s and 1960s. It later became a very nice bakery in the 1970s. Around the 1990s it had a high turnover of owners who operated restaurants. There was one string of names that probably didn't help. First, the Feed Bag, then, Bear Buns, and finally, Squatty's.
At some point in recent history the wall between the tavern and the cafe was opened up. The cafe is now closed as well.
