Well, we have to give the City Paper props for giving us a nice review (again):

It’s interesting that they don’t mention The Kumari Restaurant (911 N. Charles St., upstairs) which is way better than the other places they mention. Oh, well, I’m not complaining. Oh, just a side note, accroding to the local business association newsletter: Mount Vernon is considered the Paris of the Mid-Atlantic. Hahahahahahaha, funny.

Thursday (Apr 17) The Pub will be hosting “Throbbing Gristle Happy Hour” from 6-7, preceding the Drew Daniel talk at Red Emma’s Bookstore*Coffeehouse (800 St. Paul St.). Join us at the Pub for DJ music and Happy Hour drink specials on draft beer & rail drinks. Don’t let the $1 Natty Boh cans keep you attending the talk afterwards, we have them on special all night long!

Friday, March 7th, 7:30 PM at Red Emmas (800 St. Paul Street)

A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of little more than a dozen people in two small organizations.  Today hundreds of people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw 5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish republicans as the bogeyman of the mainstream media.
This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in.

The New Year has been great with the new smoke-free pub. Even the heavy smokers are happy about it. We’ve gained back a lot of old customers and some new ones. I think the law sucks because it’s attack on our civil liberties. However,  our little pub is just too small to have 22 people smoking at the same time.

In other news, we have new specials while supplies last:

$1 Natty Boh & Pabst cans

$3 Cutty Sark shots and drinks

Sorry everyone, Sean K. Peston will not be playing at the Pub for the month of Janurary due to a broken wrist.
