Jim's Friendly Tavern to Become Snakebite

Andy and Kim Welch assumed possession of Jim's Friendly Tavern as they successfully obtained their state liquor license. Kim's first day on the job was Friday; the name of the tavern is now Snakebite. They purchased the tavern from Jim Harrell four weeks ago contingent on getting their state liquor license and they successfully completed that process. Snakebite plans to extend their hours to 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Jim's had turned into one of the main gathering places of the community, especially during Old Defiance Days, Super Bowl Sunday, band nights, and more recently St. Patrick's Day parades. They have pulled people in from out of the area with people from Bedford and Maryville coming over for a drink.
