In 1958, Sears and Irene Lyons took over the business and called
it “Lyon’s Tap.” Irene began selling hamburgers for
a quarter, grilling them two or three at a time in a small electric
frying pan. Her husband introduced tap beer. Their innovations soon
required a bigger grill and a walk-in beer cooler.
Bert and Bonnie Notermann bought the restaurant in November of 1977.
Upon taking over the new operation, the Notermann's changed the
name to Lions Tap. When they bought the place it was a good-going
business, but they wanted to make it more of a family-type restaurant.
Today, out in suburbia beyond the fast-food factories and the trendy
bistros, burger entrepreneurs Bert and Bonnie Notermann are still
making your basic burger. Lions Tap - it's a landmark. Itís a tradition.
