Book excerpt: From dancing at Hanleys House of Happiness to raising pints at Kellys Pub on St. Patricks Day, the history of the Irish community in Chicago is told through stories of its gathering places. Families are drawn to the pub after Sunday church, in the midst of sporting events, following funerals, and during weddings. In good times and bad, the pub has been a source of comfort, instruction, and joya constant in a changing world. Based on interviews with tavern owners, musicians, bartenders, and scholars, Chicagos Historic Irish Pubs explores the way the Irish pub defines its block, its neighborhood, and its city.
