The 42-year-old said: "All the Chelsea players would be welcome, but I wouldn't want a celebrity place - it would be an old-fashioned pub. "I would be hands-on. I could get...

(By Josh Shaffer, josh.shaffer@newsobserver.com) Five years ago, Doc Hendley was a tattooed, Harley-riding bartender at Raleigh's Hibernian Pub, and nobody would have pictured him dodging bullets in Sudan, hauling clean water to refugees. But the 30-year-old Hendley got inspired behind the bar, and today his nonprofit group, Wine to Water, has dug, repaired and sanitized drinking wells for 25,000 people...

[ November 10, 2009; 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] It would seem as though Chongqing is missing a weekly Pub Quiz, and so I've decided to organize one myself. A Taste of Singapore restaurant in Shapingba (directions below) graciously granted me access to their bar and restaurant (and microphone), as well as Singapore gift certificates to use as prizes.

Every time someone compliments me on the cocktail I've just made for them, I inform them that I come from a long line of Irish saloon keepers--I design a mighty fine cocktail. It's true. My father and his father, who migrated to the U.S. from County Galway, owned somewhat famous Irish pubs: my grandfather, Joe Sr., in Jersey City and my dad Joe Jr., in Minneapolis. In fact, Duff's, one of my father’s...

I think this cold is gradually easing off, but for the last two days it's kept me completely shattered - I've barely been able to get out of bed. I'm hoping I'll be rested enough to go to the theatre tonight and back to the gym tomorrow, but in the meantime another dream: I dreamed that the company vanessaw and I used to work for had gone bust. Obviously this would be cause for celebration, less obvious...
