After dining, stop by our antique bar where Al Capone drank and Tom Mix made silent movies in the early 1900s. The bar was built on this site in 1889 when the Iron Horse steam engines rule the plains. The Great Escape now combines a terrific restaurant, lounge, and banquet facility with our timeless and tasty recipes, The Great Escape is truly the place to be for all occasions.
