 People walk in and say, oh, I thought it was a coffee joint. How many times a day do we hear that? Probably twice a day. It's an honest mistake. The entire building is the shape of a coffee pot, complete with spout and handle. It's been that way nearly 100 years. But it's a bar on the inside. Always has been. So why the name Java Jive and the coffee pot design? When they named it Bob's Java Jive, that was Lila Bell's favorite song. Lila Bell's Bob's wife.
