Re: Callahagn's in Mobile, AL starting as a "members only" club.

To quote Gene Hackman in "Mississippi Burning" - "Member of what?"

scrubs•2d ago
Strange: of all things possibly connected you mentioned that movie and Gene Hackman. I've had both the brain w.r.t. to the current administration.

    I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

It's really nice seeing those pubs the are really connected to a tumultuous history.

The oldest pub I've been not too far from is "The Old Ferry Boat Inn". The structure isn't that old, dating to the 17th Century. It is claimed to date to 560 AD, but if you believe that, I have a bridge (very old) I'd like to sell you.

People getting continuously drunk since 560 AD somewhere seems a little more believable than the oldest pub in a state managing to be a speak easy during prohibition.
WhatsTheBigIdea•15m ago
For sure pubs ran through prohibition.

McSorley's Old Ale House on the Lower East Side of Manhattan was definitely fully operational during prohibition. You can read about it on Wikipedia, but my preferred reference is Joseph Mitchel's "McSorley's Wonderful Saloon"

King George in Bristol PA is quite a good place

"As George Washington's army approached Bucks County in 1781, the image of George II was replaced with a likeness of General Washington"

setting aside my disappointment over DC's absence (I know the heading says "state" strictly but still ... ) Wyoming's is really a purpose-fitting one
