History
Everyone from celebrities to politicians and world leaders have spent time in Rohr's, the former Leahy's, inside the Morris Inn to visit Murf, Morris Inn's legendary bartender for more than 40 years. Rohr's is famous for the Hesburgh Manhattan, which is made sweet with cherry juice, Canadian Club whiskey, garnished with two cherries and served on the rocks. This crowd favorite is most well-known for being one of the iconic Father Ted Hesburgh's favorite drinks. Rohr's is also famous for its other cocktail, the Dexter. In 1902, Notre Dame student Ernest M. Morris could not afford tuition. With his dreams of a diploma slipping away, Morris asked the school president, for two favors: to let him continue enrollment on credit, and to take care of his horse Dexter. Father Cavanaugh graciously agreed. Morris donated $1 million aid to the University; Morris Inn was constructed in his honor. That's why the Morris Inn is proud to offer this signature cocktail, the Dexter.
