Owner of The Peanut Bar takes the business his grandfather started during prohibition into its 101st year. Michael Leifer is the third-generation owner of Jimmie Kramer's The Peanut Bar Restaurant. He says Kramer opened the bar as a speakeasy in 1924 in nearby Wernersville, PA. The bar moved to its current location in Reading, PA in 1933, with Michael's father, Harold Leifer, taking over in the 1950s.
