When Prohibition ended, Joes bootlegging career was dealt a temporary setback.  Since he already knew quite a bit about the liquor and beer business, Joe decided to open a saloon.  After purchasing a small parcel of land outside town by what is now Highway 181, Joe built a tavern which he named the Sociable Inn.  In the back were two bedrooms and up front there was a bar, a player piano and a room with tables where men would drink and occasionally enjoy cockfights.
