Ole's Big Game Steakhouse is located in Paxtion, Nebraska, about 30 miles west of North Platte, just off of I 80. Ole's has been known as "Nebraska's Favorite Watering Hole"...
On August 8th, 1933, prohibition in the United States came to an end. At 12:01 a.m. August 9th, Ole opened his tavern on Paxton's Main Street.
The tavern quickly became the local gathering spot. Ole and his friends, all avid outdoorsmen, would spend hours swapping tales of their hunting exploits. In 1938, Ole bagged a deer he was especially proud of. He had the buck mounted and displayed it in the bar.
That was just the beginning.

Stories of hunting trips became dreams of expeditions to far away lands in search of bigger, more exotic game. And Ole was always one to follow his dream. Over a period of 35 years, Ole traveled to every continent. Trophies from his hunting safaris became part of the more than 200 mounts now showcased at Ole's. Photographs and other artifacts of his adventures line the walls. Ole made his last hunting trip in 1973, and in 1988 he retired as the owner of the Big Game Lounge.
