Gannon's is located in the heart of the North Center community, near the intersection of Lincoln and Collum avenues. 

Daily food and drink specials are offered and owners pride themselves on keeping a friendly staff. The bar is stocked with plenty of flat screen TVs for sports fans and even sponsors area teams.

It features both a beer garden and a sidewalk patio area for diners or bar patrons. The business was named after John Gannon, the owners' grandfather, who distributed beer up and down Lincoln Avenue for Kingsbury Brewery following prohibition in the mid 1950s, according to the bar's website.

The legacy of the owners' great grandfather, Bernard Gannon, also lives on through the business, owners said. Newspaper clippings about his death are posted on the walls inside.

"One day, Bernard went into a bar to get change for a $10 bill for his employer," the website said. "On his way out of the bar, he was fatally stabbed in the heart by two men. His son John was working down the street. Folks in the neighborhood who knew them both ran to get John; tragically, his father died in his arms."
