A Legendary Past
Once Owned byBabe Ruth
The Sultan of Swat, George Herman “Babe” Ruth, once owned “The Drift.” Legend has it he left one night without paying his tab. When he returned the next day to settle up, he bought the bar instead — running it as an homage to his father, George Sr., a bar owner himself.
