Doofers: Where Community, Family, and Flavor Come Together Since 1973
Originally built in 1973, Doofers was named after the first owner Walt Grif-Inn. Gus Routos purchased Doofers Tavern in 1982. After 11 years of being an accountant, Gus decided to try his hand at owning a bar. The Routos family had been in the restaurant business for years and had plenty of advice and experience to lend as Doofer's was established. In 1982 Doofers was a simple tavern with no windows, 2 pool tables, and a small kitchen - much different than the spacious bar and grill it is today.
