Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know where I want to go. I want us
to go to.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I want us to do a road trip to Philly
or a bar.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
No, I never have, I never have. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I got to be honest, and I know it was
there when I lived there, But I definitely have never been.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
A man full of trouble. That's the name of it
is the name of the bar.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
And the only reason I know that it was that
it was there when I was there is because it
is one of a handful of bars that are as
old as the country that are still in existence.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Wouldn't that be awesome? Wouldn't that be great?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
And what part of town is it?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
It is in an area of Philadelphia called Society Hill.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Where is that.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
The well his old home or his current home? His
current home on the main line. No, No, So like
if you if you were to pull into Philly on
ninety five, and you would have you would have the
river on your right, like you're heading You're you're heading
into Philly. Society Hill is like old cobblestone streets, Like
it's really really nice, Like there's some really nice high

(01:19):
rises there that kind of have a view of the water.
Clearly they weren't around when the country was born. But
the but no, it's a really really nice part of town. Said,
it's a in the Society Hill area of Philadelphia. It's
the only building of its kind left on a street
that was once lined with them, and the only tavern

(01:39):
from a time when there were about one hundred and
fifty bars total in Philadelphia. It's the only one that's left.
So they went through and they found seven bars. Now,
I don't know if there's more than that in the country,
but they found.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Seven bars that are as old as America.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Like it's obviously we're getting to the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary, so it's just, you know, it's kind of
built into that.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
So these are ones that are around two hundred and
fifty years old.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Oh, some of them even pre date.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Because we've talked about that one in Newport, Rhode Island.
Is it the White Horse?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
That sounds right?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Isn't that considered the oldest tavern in the country country?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
That sounds right? That sounds right.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
That converted into a tavern in sixteen seventy three, right,
But that's way before seventeen seventy six. So I wonder
if what year did you say, what is the name
of the Philly one? Such an odd name, A man
full of trouble? What year is this?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh, i'd have to look old on.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I printed out a short version of it. We're in Tavern,
the seventy six.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Hounds seventeen fifty nine.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, so, I mean it predates and it's Philly.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
So you're talking about an important city to America's store. Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, they like in some of these, like they talk
about like there's one in there's one in I believe
it's called the seventy six House in New York State.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's just north of the city, probably about forty five
minutes north of the city, maybe a little less. They
talk about how like if you go in there, you'll
see stuff where.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Like like George Washington was in there.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh, I think it's awesome. I think it's great. Yeah,
there's seventy six house that looks old.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, they say they're America is all this tavern.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well that's not true.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's it's more says here that it's one of It
had a profound effect on the outcome of the Revolutionary War.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh, that. I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was a meeting place for patriots. It was a
safe ground for Americans when the air was rife with revolution,
and the tavern itself served as a prison of the
revolution's most notorious spy. This is why the old seventy
six is often referred to as Andre's Prison, not a
real prison in fact, never having been a place of incarceration.

(04:00):
Oh yeah, so these kind of stories to be able
to just be inerit down in or get a tour.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Through, well, like this one. They talk about how it
was half a mile.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Away from George Washington's headquarters, so like he and all
his boys would go there for a beer and pop
in there. I don't know, I can't even think. I
don't know what the oldest bar I've been to is.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I couldn't even guess.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Is it that one down in New Orleans?

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh yeah, the one where we got there.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh you got your ever clear with the grain? That
may be that may be the oldest bar I've ever
been in.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It is seventh that's seventeen, between seventeen twenty and seventeen thirty.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
The oldest structure used as a bar in the US.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
How about that. I've been in there.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
You didn't get the sense though when you were in there.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It does have some No, because our is getting Diane
a purple slushy.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Mine, and the Wi Fi was pretty good. No, but
you're right, it does establishment, it feels.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Do these places kind of play up their history more?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Some of them do, Yeah, some of them do.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
He made it seem like you said it with a
little bit tone like you you they do it too much,
like are the people in costume? No, I maybe because
I forget you do or you do not love the
idea of colonial Williamsburg.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's not high on my list. No, it's not high.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
No, No, But like if the what's the name of
the place in New Orleans, Lafitte is that it?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
The like that feels old, like you knew you were
in an old structure.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
You see the signage too.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
It didn't feel historical.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And maybe maybe that comparison only makes sense in my head,
but like I didn't feel like I was in a
historic building. I felt like and not old because it
was run down, but like you knew that you were
in a very old building. But and I don't know,
maybe General George Washington was in there. Doubt it at
some point point. But if you go to this seventy

(06:01):
six house like he was in there, same thing with
the one in Philly, a man full of trouble.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like, that's cool. Absolutely, I think that would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's living history to go in there and be able
to get like a it's Pennsylvania like a rolling rock.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
That sounds dumb, Like what am I gonna get? You
gonna have some mead?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Kristin, you've guessed one that's on the list or must
be on the list.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Here we go. You know what, turn yourself on? Turn
yourself on? I have the seven that they say that
you should go to.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Uh huh, hi, Kristin, which one are you sending me to?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
The Dobbin House in Gettysburg. I love it.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
It's a tavern in the basement right. It's been around
since I believe seventeen seventy six. God bless America.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's not on the list.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
You may not be wrong, you may not be wrong,
but it's not on the list.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
What is the house like? What's its story?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know?

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Every time I'm there, I have too many dreams. Oh yeah,
the people dress colonial good bye.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
So it's a bit. It's a bit. It's not the
but is it even the menu? It's like old crabby soup?

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Do they no?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
No?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
But do they forage? Actually?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
The awesome at least lafeet is like purple slushy.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, but is it? Is it? Do you under am? I? Am?
I the only one in.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
My head where if I say, oh, dear God, is awesome? No?
But is it old or historic? Do you understand what
I mean by that? Do you get what I mean?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
It looks like it tells a story and at least
it historic?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Right? Okay, that looks like it tells a story, because
she looks like she's gonna come out like, oh.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Here here British the old menu.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
But there's even a little water spout.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
There is a guy dressed as their outfits are so cute.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Oh it's a ben and breakfast as well upstairs. Yeah,
and there's like.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Is it haunted?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Maybe? I don't know, I you know the whole town supposedly?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Is is it the Cranberry Inn in New Jersey?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Is that there was one of the seven where they
talk about that there is a a like a haunted
boy that runs around the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I gotta find it. I gotta find it.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
On July fourth, there's gonna be a reading of the
Declaration of Independence at the Dominos by Thomas Jefferson.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
No, it's it's actually not Thomas Jefferson. It's that guy. Yeah,
exactly like Tyler's dad will be there seeing.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
It, experienced the event, just like local settlers did in
July seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You know, by pulling your car in and walking in
and seeing every day, Please silence your phone.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Guests and re enactors, learn the history of our flag,
and walk through the original seventeen seventy six house. Let's
attractions to be announced.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
What would know? Wouldn't you rather go to the bar
in Philly?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I feel it Christen the Road.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Did you stumble on this or did you seek this out?

Speaker 5 (09:26):
No, Mike's dad back in the years ago told us
to go there because.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
He grew up or he's not, he's anyway.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
He used to deliver food up there, right, And so
every time we go to get.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
To General Washington.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
No, No, every time we go up there, we make
a point to go into the Dobbin House to drink
and eat.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Right, all right, you know what, that's a good one.
That's old, not historic.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's old.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's history.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, look at the costumes, look at the cost A.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Lot of things happened there. I can't tell you right
now off the top of my head.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Just the Battle of Gety. You sound like a docent.
It is a field hospital, yes, yours. And the building
may have been the first stop on the underground railroad. Yes,
that's there too, north of the Mason Dixon.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
There's a little door you can go through like the
side tunnel and check it out. It's so cute.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
It says that. There's kind though, a large Civil war diorama, right,
and a gift center.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Okay, Yes, we get paintings and bring them back every time.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh how modern you're apartment.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
I guess we have Christmas style paintings.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Oh god, fall.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
We've got the Summer.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Brand where we love paintings.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh my god, I have no paintings in my house.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
And so this is the Country Curiosity Store at the
Dobbin House.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yes, and they're so kind.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
I cannot picture that artwork in your apartment.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I'll send you some pictures.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
They do you stay at the Dobbin House?

Speaker 4 (11:06):
No, we stay, I believe the hotel.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's also a historic it's called the Hampton Inn.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
No.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
I think it's like the eighteen seventy something hotel, motel whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
But is it from the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I don't know. It feels like it sometimes I don't
think so.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
All right, very good, very good, Kristen, that's good. That's good.
Oh they sell like taffy.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh those are cooked teapots. A lot of Christmas stuff?
Is that year round? Is that seasonal? Seasonal? They have
all that like Doctor Squatch soap? Oh I love those?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Can I go to line two? Hi Elliot in the morning?

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Hey guys, how you do?

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hey, I'm doing great? Who's this? This is John? Yes? John?
What can I do for you?

Speaker 6 (12:03):
There's a there's a bar in downtown in Napolis called
Reynolds Tavern. Right it's called Slip Fox Pub right now,
but Reynolds Tavern. We did a one of those like
bar tour crawl things, and they can tell you a
little history stories about all the different bars. And one
one of them was the guy that owned it had
a young wife and she figured out that, you know,

(12:26):
she could blirt with patrons and get better, get tips
and you know, sell more beer and uh, the guy
Eventually one of the patrons took offend or took it
a little too far. He chased him out and shot
and shot at him when he was running down Main Street.
And they ended the story with it would have it

(12:46):
would have changed the outcome of the Revolutionary War if
you'd actually hit George Washington.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like like those are cool stories, right, Like that's a
cool story, and I mean, listen, even if it's been exaggerating,
interchanged a little bit, there is something, thank you, sir,
there is something very cool about it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Tyler, will you look this up real quick?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Will you look up the Cranberry Inn in Cranberry, New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, but Kristen with an E writes on X if
they have a Vera Bradley counter in the gift shop,
it's a no for me. Apparently that's at the country shop.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I also saw they had a coaster that says my
exercise routine consists of doing Diddley's squats Cranberry in You said.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
The Cranberry Inn in Cranberry, New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Where's Cranberry, New Jersey?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
This central New Jersey?

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well, what's going on with the cemetery that comes up
in the photos?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Did you see the shot over my shoulder?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
It says the Cranberry Oh, well maybe that's this.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
The ghost, including a red haired boy wearing a plaid shirt,
freely roamed the upper floors, according to everybody that's worked there,
including so some waitress who's been there for like forty
years or something like that. So is it is it
still an active cemetery out.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Front unless they moved the bodies?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Oh, it's like Poulterguyst Diane.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
So this let's see here is is somebody buried there?
Who we would know?

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Oh that's a good question. I don't know. I think
it'd be cool to go to one of these.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah, the Brainerd Cemetery steps away from the end.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
And that's not hyperbole. That is literally right outside.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
So I guess I would look up the cemetery line one.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Hi Ellie in the morning.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
Hey, I grew up right near the Cranberry in in Cranberry.

Speaker 7 (14:47):
I'm from West Windsor.

Speaker 8 (14:48):
Tyler might know that area, but it's basically Cranberry there
all the time.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Is it cool?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Super cool spot?

Speaker 8 (14:55):
Yeah, it's just like a local, like legendary spot that's
been around since like the eight seventeen hundreds. The claim
is that Aaron Burr actually went there after his duel
with Alexander Hamilton and his like spirit and ghost is
supposed to be there. But other than all that kind
of stuff, it's just the coolest spot to like eat
and drink and stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Right, But I do like, I do like that it
is historical. Again, like if you go to Lafitte. I
hate to keep you picking on them, but like Aaron
Burr didn't go there.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
You know who went there, Mike Kaplan, Like that's who
went to Lafitte.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
It wasn't like Aaron Burr or General Washington or Thomas Jefferson,
but like just knowing that they were that they were there,
and they do say in some cases like they've redone
the insides.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean, it's two hundred and fifty years old.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I get that, like now there's running water and there's
a urinal I'm guessing, but I get that you're going
to modernize and make some changes.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
But there is something very cool about that.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
Yeah, it's one of those places you walk in and
you kind of feel it, if that makes sense. Yeah,
I'm kind of like, I know you hate them, but
like Fenway Park is kind of another place like that.
It was a little bit different, but you can just
like feel the history when you get in there.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Hey, can I ask you this?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
And he's from Jersey and he's referencing the Red Sox.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
The Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's funny when wherever we came up against West Windsor
in sports, I always thought to myself, this town sounds
so affluent in its name, and it was.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Yeah, west windsor uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
It was Hey are you are you? Are you familiar
with Scotch Plains, New Jersey?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's where the person I sat next to it the
Springsteam Show is from there.

Speaker 8 (16:32):
You go, are you games?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (16:34):
My dad had some affiliation with you worked for Unilever,
which I think was in that area.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Actually I got you.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, So Scotch Plains, New Jersey, which is obviously, I believe,
if if I'm right, is north of Cranberry, New Jerseys.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah so, but Scotch Plains has the stage house tavern.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
The pictures are very very cool, but.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's one of those again. It's this one kind of
sounds like, hey, thank you sir. This one kind of
sounds like the Philly one where the surrounding area has changed,
but the bar is still there.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
What's the font they went with for stage house?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:13):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Comic sansy. It's big, yeah, and but I think it's.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
To stand down because it's set amid a physical therapy office,
a karate studio, and a Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
But it looks like a big old barn. Uh. Oh,
this may not be for me.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Well, I'm on their website. They do corporate luncheons and dinners.
Yeah no, But because they advertise that it bothers you.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
No.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, I think it's the outdoor patio seating that bothers.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Me, so you have to sit inside.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
I wanted to feel like an old saloon.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Primary meeting place for troop messengers and officers. During the
Revolutionary War, General Lafayette spent time there. There you go, Lafayette,
it's from Hamilton fans. A legend has it that when
President Abraham Lincoln? You're right, are a lot of these
stories legends?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Has it that when President Abraham Lincoln called in additional
troops to defend the Union during the Silk.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
He said, oh, I'll take a table outside. Is there
something in the patio.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
During the Civil War rallies were held at the end.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Like this one to me, like now seeing pictures of it,
because you've seen the barn front and you're like, that's cool.
But now that I see the rest of it, it
doesn't feel historic.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
To say that. In the nineties it was one of
the best fine dining restaurants in New Jersey. Was purchased
in two thousand and three. The Stagehouse was transformed into
a hot spot for quality tavern fare and fun nightlife.
So does it kill it too if there's like a DJ.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, hey, come meet Scary for tickets to club z.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, Like that's.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Bad and this should this now kind of upsets me.
So this is obviously its first low. They decided, oh, you.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Don't move locations, Diane.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Well good they did it twice.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, no, you don't do that.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
No, there's a second. They opened a second and third location.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Oh more, stage stage House two, stage House.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Twenty eleven Somerset, Hey, I got one, and then twenty
seventeen Mountain Side opened up.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Goodbye.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
They actually tout their loud, large outdoor seating area.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, the Lafayette eight out there.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
We brought in the heaters, Diane. It's like you can see,
but you have to. You have to. I'll get to
pull it up because it is the Scott's Plaine's location.
Look at the picture on the right part of your screen. Here. Yes,
they did bring in the very historic.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, like, you don't walk in there and go like,
oh wow, Abe Lincoln was here.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
But you said you liked the sounds of this one.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I did until we looked, until you pulled up pictures.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
I know. I just liked how it had kind of
given the finger to everybody and been like, yes, you
can put in a Chinese restaurant, in a in a in.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
A a.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Laundry place, and all that we are. We are an old.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Bar now, I will say, And Diana like this. The
write up reads the absence of any attention grabbing features,
hints at what makes pubs so welcome and charming. The
very quality that must have made a place like this
a welcome stopover for colonial travelers remains the groups who
gather here over rounds of beer and chardonnay and make
that apparent.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Na.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, please, will you look one up since that guy
mentioned Massachusetts?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yes, will you look up the Warren Tavern while you're
doing that? Hi, Ellie, in the morning.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Hey is this me?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah? Hi, who's this?

Speaker 8 (20:46):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (20:46):
This is Jamie and Clifton.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Have you ever heard of have you ever heard of?
Mixed Soleis in New York City? Yeah, of course, yeah.
You ever been there?

Speaker 8 (20:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:59):

Speaker 9 (21:00):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Mcsorley's is great. Mcsorley's is honey too.

Speaker 9 (21:03):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's very very small, very very small. The but yeah,
you know, you know, you know where. I gotta be
careful here, Mcsorley's. Mcsorley's, I mean, mcsorley's has been around
for a long time and it is very very famous.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
But it was a.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
I'm looking at it now.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
It says it was open in eighteen fifty four.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Beyond Like, are you on the street literally looking at
mcsorley's right now?

Speaker 6 (21:31):
No?

Speaker 3 (21:31):
I was on Google.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh okay, all right, very good, very good, thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
But that wouldn't qualify, no, no, because it's not as
old as the country. But that was a big gathering
spot after nine to eleven for like a lot of
like NYPD like guys that were pulling like twenty four
and thirty six hour shifts. They would get off and
go to mcsorley's and firefighters and EMTs, like everybody that
was kind of involved would go to mcsorley's and it

(22:02):
kind of became like their spot to have, like to
have a beer.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I've never been there, but isn't there thing with beer?
They only have like one beer? Like when you get
a beer, it's it's what is it one or two?
It's like you're very limited amount. Yes, but that's like
every one. I don't know it exactly, but if you're
going there, you're aware of this.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, Like I just feel like we went there and
just got beers right.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Right, but it's pretty crap. Yeah, what does it say
about the Warren Tavern?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Like this is one of the ones that made the
list of pubs as old as or taverns as old
as the country.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
To make sure it is the right one. This isn't Charlestown.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
You said it's well in Boston.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Charlestown, Massachusetts is the address?

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Hold on, let me look.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Because I have to know where to get the outdoor
seating pulled in. Follow the Freedom Trail to the Bunker
Hill Monument. A two d and twenty one foot obelist
marks the Bloody seventeen seventy five battle on Breed's Hill
in Boston's Charlestown section.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
So yes, so. The uh Warren Tavern is one of
the most historic in America. It is the oldest tavern
in Massachusetts and was visited by many a famous individual,
including George Washington and Paul Revere.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Isn't that cool? Isn't that cool?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
It was one of the first buildings raised after Charlestown
was sacked by the British. George Washington stopped here for refreshments,
and Paul Revere considered it his favorite watering hole.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
It's named after doctor Joseph Warren, who was killed during
the Battle of Bunker Hill in seventeen seventy five.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
And then you look up to see is it a
bottomless brunch?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
They?

Speaker 1 (23:50):
No, Please tell me you're kidding.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Please, I'm checking. They have brunch.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I mean, listen, I get these places have to make money.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
But come on, brunch does have notch.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Mimosas are coming. Mimosas are coming.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Respect history. I don't know if it's bottomless. They oh,
but they do have their specialty menu of brunch tales.
The Mama mosa is Champagne orange vodka Nojay served on
the rocks in a tall glass goodbye.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Like, can I ask a question?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I don't know, Like I don't know how old bars
are in Like if you went to England, I don't
know how old. I'm sure they laugh at a bar
that's only two hundred and fifty years old. But if
you went to like an old bar, there are they
doing like bottomless of mimosas.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, so it's not.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Just the they want to police customers.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
No, but there you can they probably, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
They mix it. They probably can have the historical like
the nods to the history and then the bottomless brunch.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Where my girls at.

Speaker 8 (24:59):
Hi Elliott the morning West windsor Guy's back. It's dark

Speaker 2 (25:41):
If you go back the one that we talked about,
one of the first ones we talked about, that seventy
six house.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, that pork chop looks good.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
But here's what they say about the pork chop, right,
It's not like mom chardonnay or whatever, Mamosa.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
The seventy six houses.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Pork chop is a dish that Alexander Hamilton and the
revolutionary customers might have ordered.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Oh maybe it's possible, but.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
It looks like an old dish. That's a cool looking play.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, the building is it definitely works for me.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I want to go to the one in Philly.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I want to see who's playing live?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
No, Oh, scary Brian Kirk and the jerks.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
No, the leg warmers are there? Where am I going?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Line one?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Hi Ellie in the morning?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, Hi, who's this Hi?

Speaker 9 (26:47):
This is Maddie.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yes, Maddie. What can I do for you.

Speaker 9 (26:51):
I've been to a bar in Colorado that was called
a Silver Dollar Saloon and it opened up in eighteen
seventy nine, and Dot call it was a frequent visitor
of there.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Okay, I mean eighteen seventy nine. I mean it's just
a baby.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
But that's still cool. Pardon me, It's still cool that
it's that old. Like I think that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
You know what this is. It's like when we thank you, ma'am.
It was like when people were like, oh, my house
is one hundred years old.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
And I couldn't believe that these bars are two hundred
years old.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Two hundred and fifty years old.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yes, says for the Silver Dollar Saloon. Wild West figures
like Doc Holliday, Mally Brown, and Oscar Wilde, we're all
hosted there.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
That even though, like you're saying, it's a baby and
it's one hundred years younger, right than everything basically that
you listed, it's still part of the nation's story.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh of course, see and it looks old.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Oh for this silver Dollar Saloon, Yeah, it looks old.
Is that it for your list.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Stage house? Yes, Grizzwold, Oh, the Griswold Inn. In Essex, Connecticut.
Originally built as a schoolhouse in seventeen thirty eight, the
tap room was moved in eighteen oh one via Oxen
and Logs to its location at the Inn, about three
blocks from the shore where the Oliver Cromwell, a full

(28:26):
rigged naval ship, was launched in seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I bet it's cool looking, Yeah, exactly, thank you.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Looks colonial. It also kind of looks like the crabs
claw the which isn't in Was that number eight on
your list?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Line six?

Speaker 9 (28:45):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Ellie in the morning?

Speaker 7 (28:48):
Elly, what's up? Man? It's Christen and Charleston. When you
all were down here, you probably went by a Rainbow
Row and maybe stopped in across the street. The tavern
at Rainbow Row old a flicker store in the United
States from sixteen eighty six.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Wait, was remind me what is what is Rainbow Row?
Did I go buy Rainbow Row?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I don't remember doing that.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
What I know.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
Iconic bright colored townhouses down from stars. But the tavern
six six liquor store. You can also go in there.
A lot of bachelot parties will go in there and
get shots. Hi, Kersten and.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yet by the way, it's very cool. Like that's historic.
Now listen, I get it. You can get a bottle
of Tito's, but nobody it looks old. It looks historic.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh yeah, look at the wine.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, that's very cool. That's very cool.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:46):
I had to mention that one.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, that's good. All right, very good, Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I surprised we didn't stop in there, because it does
seem like, just based on these search results that it
is a pretty popular.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, that it would have come up place to.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Just go to because of like he said, the superlative
but oldest and oldest in the country in America sixteen
eighty six.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know what it looks like a little bit like
just the way that it's kind of nondescript, wedged.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Into the corner.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, what was the name of that? Now it wasn't
a two hundred and fifty year old bar. What was
the bar that we went into in Cincinnati that was
like ranked as one of the best bars in the country.
But it was like non descript, It wasn't fancy, there
were no TVs.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
It was in otr I think.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Is it the Whiskey place?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (30:37):
I know exactly which one. I know what I had
to drink there. It was an autumnal flavor, if it
makes sense because we were there in September, right or yeah, yeah,
it was Inzinnati. But I know exactly because it was
across the street from that bakery grow Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
The name of the bar, well.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I wanted skyline the no. No.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
But but we went in there and it was almost
a little bit intimidating.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yes, but the guy behind the counter was great.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yes, but don't you agree it reminds you of that place,
just that it's kind of this nondescript corner.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, we were, like you said, it best not just
intimidating inside, but we were wondering is this even the
right place? And we were on the street.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Didn't we get something to eat while we were there too?
I feel like we got food.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
And now I need the name of that bar and
the bakery. Was it brown Bear Bakery? That sounds familiar
because if I look that up then I can find
you the bar across the street. No one remembers brown Bear.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
I have to see it. It was.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
It was definitely a brown Bear Bakery. Yeah, yes, it
was across the street.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
That's it. There's no sign Tyler.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I was so excited on the street view and I
turned around and it was labeled Long Fellow.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's right, that's right, because I kept making that joke.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
That place was great, that place was really.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Good, and then that's centralized bar.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah that was good, all right, I agree.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed all of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Cincinnati was great, Cincinnati was awesome. I go back to
Cincinnati tomorrow, I can't. I gotta go to that bar
in Philly and then I'd go back. Yeah, that looks good.
Oh and couldn't you also leave a drink for somebody there? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
They had to pay it forward ball.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, that's cool. I like that.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
I mean, you can also do that at Black Flag.
So if you're going to the tenth anniversary party on Saturday,
look somebody up.
