Show Me The Bar

Bill from Maplewood e-mails with some important dates for the basement bar enthusiast:

Enjoy your website. You mentioned basement bars, if you are looking for some 1930s/40s/50s/60s beer and tavern related stuff to put on the walls, it might be worthwhile to check out any of these shows. (The best is the Guzzle and Twirl but it is not until October).
