ELIZABETH, Ill. — A Jo Daviess County bar has reopened under new ownership.

OJ and Becky Stapleton are the new owners of Old Jug’s (OJ’s) Main Street Tap at 200 N. Main St. in Elizabeth. The couple recently moved to the area from Kentucky to take over the downtown business.

“We have some friends in the area who we’ve been coming up to visit for years, and we just fell in love with the area,” OJ Stapleton said. “The bar came up for sale, and we always loved coming here when we came to visit so we just decided to go for it.”
