Skyline Bar & Casino

About

Skyline Bar & Casinos- Where Friends Meet  On Sept. 23, 1983, Joe & Joanie Christiansen took over the Skyline Bar, purchasing it from Sally & Wally Hart. Joe said to Joanie, “We’ll build up the business and in two years, we’ll sell.” And Joanie said OK. Two years later, things were going better than they expected, so Joe said to Joanie, “In five years, we’ll sell.” And Joanie said OK. And when the fifth year arrived, things were even better, and besides that, they were having fun. Joe didn’t say anything. And that was OK. Being spouses in business together can be challenging, but they endured for 21 years, 11 months, until Joe lost his battle with esophageal cancer in August of 2004. Now Joanie is joined in the business with her daughter, Janelle Hutton. Along with a great staff, they continue to set the pace for what a friendly neighborhood bar should be.
