What You Must Know Before You Read "Love at the Pub"

Love at the Pub: Love at the Pub is a must-read for anyone who has ever dreamed of opening a pub. Part 1 takes you through glassware, servers, and how the law literally changed because of the influence of this place. If you've ever heard the phrase `a perfect pour,' then don't miss the story of how three bartenders practiced pouring Guinness all day long until one of them got it perfect. From stories of kids turning 21 and sharing their first beer with mom and dad to how the owners literally built the place out with their bare hands, you'll be able to call the staff by name when you make a pilgrimage to visit this bar after reading this book. At least one woman scheduled a 10-hour layover in Atlanta to visit the Pub again. Not bad for a place with "no neons, no TV's and no domestics


Reading Love at the Pub: Love at the Pub made me thirsty not only for beer, but also for some good times hanging around in a friendly community. Mary Jane Mahan has a wonderful way with words, and she's really painted a vivid and engaging portrait in her book of a way of life that I find quite admirable.

A mix of local history, beer knowledge and heart warming stories from local pub goers...Love at the Pub: Love at the Pub is a one-of-a-kind book that feels good when you read it. It's that simple. Thanks Mary-Jane for this unique experience.
