If you haven't read J.R. Moehringer's memior "The Tender Bar" you should. Right now. Click here, order it, wait by the door until it comes and then read it all in a single sitting. There is no work of literature in American letters that better captures the glory and heartbreak of a really good neighborhood bar. Really. We could tell you that Moehringer has won all kinds of writing awards, and use lots of plumy, book critic talk to describe his prose. But we'd only be wasting time that you could spend reading.
