  • Description
  • Over the years the La Barbe was to grow from a humble roadside stand into a full-scale restaurant. During the 1950s hundreds would flock to the La Barbe on a summer’s night to enjoy dancing at the outdoor pavilion at the rear of the restaurant. Band leader Lawrence Welk was a personal friend of the owner’s and his band would sometimes perform at the pavilion, while the La Barbe advertised “dancing under the stars.”
