3B's came about when Jeanette sold her interest in Jet's Place, and 4 friends opened the bar under a new name in May 1991 as "3B's" since 3 of the 4's names started with the letter "B". Owners Bob Schnicker, Bruce Lemke, Bobby Cole and Patrick Prudlow had a good clientele, and the bar was especially popular with western dancers; lessons were held for line dancing and pattern dancing every Friday night.

In May 1995, 3B's held a Moving Sale and Closing Party, when Rob retired, and the bar relocated to 2nd and Lapham on June 1, 1995.

More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.
