Balltown, Iowa

County:  Dubuque

WXPort

The magnificent Balltown view has been featured in a variety of magazines and newspapers.  Balltown is also the proud home to Breitbach's, Iowa's oldest bar and restaurant.  Breitbach's has been serving up homemade goodness & homespun hospitality since 1852 and has served it up to such famous people as outlaw Jesse James and Brooke Shields.

Iowa's oldest food and drinking establishment was opened in 1852 by federal permit issued from President Millard Fillmore.  Jacob Breitbach, Great-Great-Grandfather of the present owner, worked for the original owner and purchased the tavern in 1891.  Since that time, the Breitbach family has been in continuous ownership of this historical establishment which is now on its sixth generation and seventh expansion.  This unique structure has been nominated to the Register of Historic Buildings and its present owners, Mike and Cindy Breitbach, work hard to maintain the restaurant's rich heritage.
