Tony's Locker Room Restaurant
Tony's Lockeroom was a sports-themed restaurant locally before such a thing really existed. More than a sports bar, it was a restaurant featuring American classics, fancy bar food, spirits, and was decorated with one of the more impressive collections of Ball State sports paraphenalia to ever exist off-campus. Located catty-corner from the BSU football stadium, Tony's sat on Bethel from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s in the venue just east of the small hotel there. The restaurant building later became a "fine dining" place called Benjamin's, then was a call center for the FOP charities, then was briefly a crappy pizza joint that lasted about two months a couple years before COVID happened.
