The restaurant began in 1887 when Carl Luger’s Café, Billiards, and Bowling Alley
opened and became a neighborhood favorite. Peter Luger owned the business, and Carl,
his nephew, operated the kitchen. Several years after Peter Luger’s death in 1941, Carl
Luger's went up for auction in 1950. Sol Forman, a frequent customer who owned a
factory across the street, purchased the establishment and later changed the name to
Peter Luger Steak House.
