Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
“ How should I know?
It was a combination of things, I guess, and no one special reason. For one thing, the place doesn’t look like much from the outside. Nor is the interior by any stretch of the imagination romantic-more like a cross between a Chinese firedrill and Tim Finnegan’s last party, most nights. But then you can’t tell that from the highway either. Whatever the reason, it just sort of turned out that women didn’t come into Callahan’s Place.
All right, maybe I’m ducking the issue. Maybe there was some kind of masculine aura about the place, a psychic emanation of chauvinist-piggery that kept it a male bastion for so long. Maybe we were extended adolescents, emotionally retarded, projecting a telepathic equivalent of the “No Girls Allowed” sign on Tubby’s clubhouse. There’s surely no doubt that Callahan’s is culturally descended from the grand tradition of Irish bars, and they tend to be misogynistic. LongDrink McGonnigle’s father-in-law, Thirsty O’Toole, assures us that Iris...hmen go to pubs to get shut of the women.MoreLess
