Bruno’s tavern, owned by Tim Spratt, is up for sale.
Spratt has owned Bruno’s since 2019 and said he is moving on to focus on other things.
“I bought the bar in 2019 and am moving on to focus other businesses and investments,” Spratt said. “I’m very grateful for everyone who has supported Bruno’s over the years – managers, staff, and patrons.”
The bar, which requires patrons to be over 19 years old, has been located at the corner of Maple and Hillary Street since its opening in 1934. It has long been a favorite for both Loyola and Tulane University students.

One small point: correction to your story. Bruno’s was not in the exact same location since 1934 – it used to be a block or two away on maple.
