As a perpetual purveyor and patron of joints cataloged under the gin, juke and dive variety, I couldn't help but love this book. If there is a bar in heaven, and I make it, I want it to be like Callahan's. You won't find it unless you need it, the regulars come and go, but this my friends is the bar to beat all bars. Your favorite is going to look like a retirement home's canteen when you finish. Picture a cross between Cheer's and the bar scene in Star Wars. Then you have a pretty good idea of Callahan's on a regular night. Grease up your eye sockets for all the rolling you'll do on Punday, and don't forget your single bills. Mike doesn't take anything but dollar bills. This AR's feeble attempt to review this book won't do justice due the compassion, heart, and over all good spirit of this little page turner.
