H.B. Culpeppers was established in May, 1981 by partners Harry Spielman (H) and Ben Bruns (B). The company name CULPEPPERS was borrowed from the role of Spencer Tracy’s character, Captain C.G. in “It’s A Mad Mad World”, Culpepper. In Jan. of 1997 H.B. Culpeppers expanded into the former Indiana Floral location. The six scenes from Jimmy Stewart movies were painted by Bill Rettig, an artist from the Butler area and the original designer of this restaurant. Culpepper’s Upper Deck Sports Bar opened for business in Jan. 2009. The project involved the renovation of 10 second story office spaces into a bar/lounge and gamer area.
