Thanks for the news tigerpac. If I were to guess, I would say that McCool will fold into BGTV and be controlled by Mr. Baker. I will spell it out here so it will be on LIGA's I-Hub Board:

McCool's transitioning to Buck Lake - Jan 6, 2022

ANGOLA, IN — The Historic Preservation Commission approved various renovations for the property at 114 N. Elizabeth St., formerly known as McCool’s Tap Room, on Tuesday.

McCool’s owners Connie and Todd Gorman sold the long-time bar in November to Marvin Baker, owner of Buck Lake Ranch Camping and Entertainment, L.L.C., who will be turning the place into Buck Lake Bar and Grill.

Sandy Hagan, a real estate agent with Rez-Com Properties, has experience renovating old buildings and will be assisting Baker with the property.

“When we were looking at McCool’s, we deemed it a pool barn if you will, and we wanted to bring it back to something that had a little more nostalgia to it,” Hagan said. “We’re really wanting to make it fit with the other things that we see in downtown Angola and improve the look a little bit.”

Due to Buck Lake Ranch’s location, Baker is unable to put a commercial kitchen out there. As such, aside from enhancing the bar, Baker intends to use the kitchen in the old McCool’s building in order to provide catering for the campground.

Baker will also be able to use the property’s liquor license for special events at Buck Lake Ranch.

However, it may be a little longer yet until Buck Lake Bar and Grill is up and running. Thanks to supply chain delays, Baker and Hagan predict that it may take weeks more than usual to get the resources they need for renovations.

“We’re looking at February,” Baker said. “The only thing slowing us up is some of the vendors.”

“We may have to open and then finish doing some things after,” Hagan said.

Baker and Hagan are also on the lookout for a chef to run the kitchen.

Thankfully, Baker said that Connie, who has worked at McCool’s for nearly 30 years, plans to stay on with the bar for at least another six months.

“Connie did a great job all by herself, so we’re using that as a foundation, but we’re wanting to do a little bit more,” Hagan said.
