There might be a bar.....

Some facts about Santa Clause.

The town doesn't even have a stop light at hte moment. Holiday World is paying ot put one in because it is expanding. You should come sometime and meet up with me or Chuck at HW. It is a nice little park.

There might be bars, but I don't know if there is or not.

There is one gas station and one grocery store. They both probably close by 10pm. Holiday World is the biggest thing in that town. One million people visit that park a year this past year.

Santa Claus is probably the nicest town in Indiana. I doubt there are any beer joints.

Sprint2,
If you like fried chicken check out The Chicken Place bar in Ireland. Just head to Jasper on 231 and take a left on 56 and go about 5 miles. Been there forever, neat as a pin and really,really good!! You are in a good spot to make pretty quick runs up to Bloomington Speedway, Brownstown and Salem and, of course, Haubstadt.Plenty of beer joints around. You won't go thirsty. Welcome to Southern Indiana. Pretty scenery around this area.

I used to live in Richland, about 15-20 minutes from Santa Claus and 5 minutes from Rockport. I absolutely loved living in Spencer County. A-K Steel was built there 10 years ago and kinda dominates the local scene.

Santa Claus is pretty quiet, but Rockport should have everything you need in a small town, including a few beer joints. Swing by Hatfield, about 5 -10 minutes east of Rockport and see if Chick's Inn is still open. Great place to grab a cold one, and maybe get into a brawl with locals.:)
