--- Like

things simply get better with time ! We feel that
way when it comes to the history...and the
"present" of "The Coney" ! Oh...and by the
way...you can ALWAYS get a fine wine or a great
Single Malt Scotch when you visit The Coney. You
can also ALWAYS count on GREAT FOOD and a GREAT

WELCOME to our website ! We're Tim and Jayme, the
owners...and if you've never been to The Coney
before, please ask for us when you stop in...and
just maybe...we'll throw down a Scotch with
you...as a sort of "WELCOME" !
--- There's
a LOT of history behind these walls and behind our
success. Here's just some of the history.....from
the "then"......to the "now". The original Coney
Island was opened in 1933 by Jimmy George, on the
800 block of Philadelphia Street, two doors down
from Stewart's hardware which was owned by the
parents of the legendary actor and Indiana Pa.
born, Jimmy Stewart.
--- In
1965, as the business continued to grow, Coney
Island moved to 11 Carpenter Avenue which still
holds the back bar and the rear seating area.
Thirty years later in 1995, growth and success
enabled us to justify stretching out to meet
Philadelphia Street. Through hard work and
dedication, we had become a very well known and
popular destination. We also had some serious
"history" to keep sacred ! The Suttons and Wilsons
(Founding Fathers of I.U.P. and the Kiski School)
built the building that houses the "Old Coney" in
1853. When the building was first opened, it held
Indiana's first dry goods store. The "Dubliner
side" was built in 1880 (also by the The Suttons
and Wilsons). Indiana hardware stood there until
1999 when The Coney was expanded once again. The
expansion included a game room, dance area (The
Dubliner Dance Hall), and a new dining experience
to Indiana by way of "Snugs." "Upstairs" at The
Coney, a 6000 sq. ft. facility was completed in
November of 2003. It can accommodate over 200
guests in its spacious dining room and bar. There
is also a stage, dance area and game room. It is a
frequently requested venue for banquets,
receptions, meetings and private parties.
