In the first few years, an accordion player would perform here to add to the German feel of the location. (Does anyone know any local accordion players that might have had this gig? There used to be a German restaurant at the Bavarian Inn north of I-35/I-80 on 14th St that had one. Anyone remember Bavarian Haus restaurant?)

Trivia

Beer today, gone tomorrow...

This location used to sell draft beer. Once the Bier Garten opened (connected to it), that would have just seemed silly...

Accordion to rumor...

Duane Pichilman was the man who played accordion there in the early years. I saw him performing at the Bavarian Haus restaurant on 14th St (Bavarian Inn restaurant). I was unaware of his Adventureland connection at that time or I would have loved to talk to him about his experience. Rest in peace, Mr. Pichilman. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=15125978
