Michael Leifer, a third-generation owner of Jimmie Kramer's The Peanut Bar Restaurant in Reading, Pennsylvania, reflects on the establishment's rich history, which began as a speakeasy in 1924. The restaurant, with a focus on family and community, has transformed many strangers into friends over time. In addition to its signature peanuts, which patrons toss on the floor, food offerings were initiated by Leifer's grandmother, reinforcing its family-oriented approach. As the bar approaches its 101st year, Leifer expresses immense pride in the legacy and relationships built through the restaurant.
The thing I enjoy most about our business is interacting with our guests, making memories all the time, and that's what keeps me going.
People start coming here as strangers and they become friends, and later family. The people are what make us what we are.
