The Red Bull Inn in Ambridge had been our favorite dinner spot. Jan and I and Jack and Jeanne would double date a lot, and the Red Bull was the usual destination. The Bull claimed to have been the first restaurant to introduce the salad bar.

Mr. Fleck decided to pattern his new establishment after an English pub and call it the Red Bull Inn. 
The Red Bull Inn was a restaurant chain (19 or 20 locations) in both central Ohio and eastern Pennsylvania. There may have been another location in West Virginia, but who cares?
People loved the place, but it went out of business 30 years ago, before you were born.
What's The Deal?
From that first fledgling business in Carnegie in 1964, Mr. Fleck's Red Bull Inns grew to include, at their peak, more than 20 restaurants in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia before the chain dwindled to one because of financial problems.Subscript text[1]
Sadly, Buss died in 2004 at the age of 79. Buss, to his many friends, was an entrepreneur founding nearly a dozen businesses in his life, most notably his restaurants, The Corner Bar and the Red Bull Inns. A successful investor in his later life, Mr. Fleck dedicated himself to his family and Catholic Charities.

The Red Bull Inn in Ambridge had been our favorite dinner spot. Jan and I and Jack and Jeanne would double date a lot, and the Red Bull was the usual destination. The Bull claimed to have been the first restaurant to introduce the salad bar. I'd hate to think about what might have been in some of those salads we had eaten before the Red Bull was also the first to introduce the "sneeze guard" a few years later!
They also made a "lobster pot", chunks of langostino in a little crock with butter, and great French Onion soup. To this day though, my favorite meal when eating out is a Filet Mignon paired with a Lobster Tail with lemon and butter. It doesn't get any better than that.[2]
