History

In 1887, Flannery “Irish” Adams was a destitute man barely scraping by on the streets of Dublin. Adams was a respected humanitarian and philosopher, though his heritage and immigrant status held him back in his professional circles.

One day, while working out his philosophical mental faculties at a local pub, Flan realized that the pouring style of Irish pints was responsible for the dour, unhappy nature of the people of Dublin. He noted that at least half of each poured beer consisted of a foamy head, which significantly decreased the amount of actual beer per glass. He also realized that each beer was served warm, and only in places that allowed men.

In that instant, Professor Adams (as he came to be known) opened his note pad, and wrote his famous Five Laws which almost won him a Nobel Peace Prize. They are:

1) All beer shall be served colde
2) Pint glasses surein are for the containment of beer, not foam
3) Beer is best enjoyed in the company of ladies
4) All bartenders must smile, and know many jokes and riddles
5) Everyone should be welcomed in a pub

Knowing immediately that he had drafted a powerful message, Adams jumped on the next ship to the United States, and began building his utopian pub. He settled in Quincy, Massachusetts, the birthplace of two American presidents.

Almost 130 years later, his dream, The Irish Pub, is a thriving home to philosophers, writers, musicians, poets, and humanitarians.
