Pearl Street Pub - Oldenburg, IN

On our trip to Greensburg, IN we were in a driving mood and visited surrounding towns as well. One of which was Oldenburg. We sort of stumbled upon it – just turning on back roads whenever we felt like it.

They’re really known for their Freudenfest in July – and seriously you should go to the website just to hear a German/English version of “In Heaven There Is No Beer” – good stuff.

We found the Pearl Street Pub right across from a gigantic Catholic church. The streets are brick and the town is beautiful. Saturday Mass was going on at the time so we beat the rush (seriously – it was starting to get packed once we left!)

They have a pretty fun mural on one wall of the town sights.

Larry and I decided to share since we weren’t incredibly hungry and got a buffalo chicken sandwich. It was really good – the chicken was plentiful and juicy – the buffalo was spicy but not burn your eyes out and the ranch was delicious!

We also ordered a couple pieces of garlic cheese bread and they were really good. But why did they serve that pre-made plastic container of sauce with it? It didn’t even look like marinara – and truthfully the bread didn’t need it. It was really good on it’s own. That sauce went untouched!

Why Should You Go? It’s a small little pub and the staff was very friendly. The food was pretty good – a little better than I expected and I hear the Rueben is killer.
