Ask someone in Rensselaer, Indiana where to head for lunch or dinner and you’ll probably hear “City Office and Pub” (if you are 18 and over, that is).

Judging from the flow of traffic and hearty greetings, City Office and Pub is the Cheers of Rensselaer!

City Office and Pub in Rensselaer, Indiana

City Pub, as locals call it, is known for a nice, laid back atmosphere and great food.

Everyone seemed to know everyone else but that’s not exactly uncommon in a small Indiana town.

But what is unusual is that once upon a time, this pub also housed the Mayor’s office! Talk about job perks!

Food Fit for The Mayor

While the Mayor now has an office elsewhere, it’s kind of a tradition in the area for the just-turned 18 year old to accompany their parents to City Office and Pub for a nice celebratory dinner.

The building is filled with beautiful woodwork. Get a load of that incredible bar! Just fantastic!

Head on back to the area with raised seating and check out the old photos of Rensselaer, Indiana in its early days.

City Office and Pub Menu

It was hard to decide. City Pub had daily specials to choose from in addition to a great full menu.

We ordered a cheeseburger with Swiss and Fries (hubs) and (you guessed it) a Reuben Sandwich with Fries for me!

As you can see from the photos–they were good! I just love a nice Reuben.

That’s a Spicy Meat-a-ball!

What you don’t see in the photo? The awesome Spicy Bloody Mary hubs and I each had before ordering. I’ve never had it served with a pickle and olive before but, yeah, that olive was GOOD!  Who needs celery?
