Irish Village?
Irish Village?
Looks like it...
That's the bar at that address and is also the least surprising suspect.
At the link:
"#101001225197 Other at 224 Market St Oak Square"
Oak Square??
It takes
a village idiot to ruin business.
Yup
Burn the owner for a couple of pops maybe a reprimand, burn the customers and they will need a new bartender.
And I get to learn how to use HTML tags.
irish village??
I drank a beer in there when I was 13 and I couldn't have looked a day over 11. There used to be a second room the bartender could not see into, just a window where he would put the drink orders. There was usually one adult facing the bartender and 10 underage kids staying out of bartenders eyeshot and guzzling Bud drafts. We used to watch the Irishmen have bloody brawls on the corner of Market and Saybrook streets on a daily basis. The fights usually ended with one participant helping the guy he just throttled back onto his feet and back into the Village for another cold one.There was always lots of talk about "the cause" and Bobby Sands in those days. We spray painted IRA everywhere we went.
If you really want to hear a great Irish Village story ask me about Jack the Mailman's broken leg.
New ownership these days from what I understand.
All in the Irish Village...
Bartenders getting blitzed at night
Drunken Irish barroom fights
Serving underaged kids Bud lights
Those were the days...
But are the hamburgers still
But are the hamburgers still the same ? Mmmmmm,
Tell me about Jack the Mailman's broken leg
Pray tell?
Jack the Mailman
Jack the mailman delivered the mail in the neighborhood behind the Irish village for many years. He was pretty good at the route and usually could finish in about an hour or two and spend the rest of his afternoon seated on a stool inside the I.V. enjoying a break from the heat or cold or whatever it was that day. One day Jack must've been sleepy because he fell off the barstool and broke his leg. A bunch of Irish Village patrons picked up old Jack the mailman, carried him to last house on his route, and called the post office to report that the mailman had fallen and needed medical attention. Jack spent six weeks recovering (inside the Irish Village) but I am happy to say he returned to that route for many more years. the end
Thanks, Jack the Mailman...for doing your part to raise stamp pr
anyone out there still wondering why the postal service is financially F&*k3d?
jack the mailman was from a different era
letter carriers these days work their asses off. Jack worked in the days before barcodes at drop boxes and time regulated routes. different days my friend. modern US postal workers, for the most part work their asses off.
Yeah, just think
Without goldbrickers like Jack, it might cost a mere 40c to send a letter anywhere in the country, instead of 49c. No wonder we're in a recession!

Not that I condone the behaviour, but please don't let this lead to yet another Brighton institution closing. It's bad enough with Imperial Pizza, Joeys and Castlebar gone.
