ABOUT

 TAVERN'S HISTORY

The 46 Tavern is your neighborhood tavern for the West End of Geneva Lake. Located in Walworth, WI just minutes from Fontana and Geneva Lake. Built in 1895 by Julius Schulz, a German immigrant and eventual U.S. Citizen, it was initially Schulz's Shoe Store. It first became a tavern in 1946 when it became Howard's Tavern and was owned by Howard C. Schultz. In 1987 it changed hands when Leo & Lois Gilfoy purchased the bar and reopened it as Sweeney's Pub, named after the local police chief's son and bar manager. In 1993, John Davis & Ken Ryndak purchased the bar and it continued on as Sweeney's Pub through only two owners until late 2019 when locals, Jason & Alisha Mannon purchased the tavern. They embarked on a renovation process, diligent to respect the history of this Wisconsin tavern and building, including saving the original tin ceiling. The history is important to Jason & Alisha, who renamed it The 46 Tavern as a nod to the historical significance of when it first became a licensed tavern in 1946.
