Two and Two

"Since it opened in 1854, McSorley's Old Ale House has been a New York institution ... In addition to the bar's rich history, McSorley's is home to a ... story about two men: Rafe Bartholomew, the writer who grew up in the landmark pub, and his father, Geoffrey 'Bart' Bartholomew, a career bartender who has been working the taps for forty-five years ... For Rafe, the bar means home. It's the place where he and his father have worked side by side, serving light and dark ale, always in pairs ... Where they've celebrated victories, like the publication of his father's first book of poetry, and coped with misfortune, like the death of Rafe's mother. Where Rafe learned to be part of something bigger than himself"--Provided by publisher.
