My dear friend Brian Meredith thought perhaps we could amuse ourselves imagining being ponied up with our favorite author in their favorite pub. Here is a collection of pubs that have lubricated some of the best literature in history.

And here is one I’d like to add to the list, “Pop” on Unterestrasse, in Heidelberg, Germany. The pub where the ” Other” James Joyce of The Boy with a Torn Hat fame saved the city from a twenty foot tidal wave of beer one evening in the 70’s.

Let us go then you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky… and get pie-eyed.
