WELCOME– For several months the Korte’s Bar and Grill on the south side of Welcome has been closed. It will be re-opening as Old 16 Bar and Grill on January 11 under new ownership. Renee Amis and Chris Taylor have leased the building.
The couple said it’s similar to Korte’s but with some equipment and restroom updates. The basics will stay the same with some favorite menu items returning soon. All licenses are approved and they are eager to start their new adventure. Neither one of them is new to adventures or new to Welcome. Renee is the daughter of Max Amis who was a bookkeeper at the Welcome Legion and Carol and Keith Thiesse who are (were) welcome residents. Chris says he was a Navy Brat so is from all over.
