Oldest Post Falls Biz Nears End?

Some of Walter Glass’s fondest memories have been at the Slab Inn. The Rathdrum man has enjoyed dancing and listening to music at the historic honky-tonk bar since 1978. He met his wife, Connie, there on the dance floor in 1998. Those good times at the Slab, Post Falls’ oldest continuously-operating business at 81 years, could come to a halt if a new owner doesn’t surface to carry the torch. Randy and Deb Berlin, who have owned the bar for the past 19 years, have the business for sale for $725,000. “It’s been a struggle the past three years just keeping up with the bills and taxes and the clientele is declining,” Deb said. “It’s been touch and go for a long time, but it finally got to the point where we can’t continue. It’s time to go.” Several musicians who have performed at the Slab over the years will perform on Sunday starting at 4 p.m. The bar will be open on Fridays and Saturdays in September from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. with Sept. 26 being the last night/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press.
