Hey everyone, Dan here with a special St. Patrick's Day reheat of the Sporkful.

And this one I'm going to sit down with a Catholic priest to share a drink.

And I'm not talking about sacramental wine.

This is a priest slash mixologist.

Also in this episode, I revisit a bar for my past Sligo pub in Davis Square in Somerville,

Mass, right near Tufts University where I went to college.

Sligo actually closed down in 2023, RIP Sligo, after decades in operation.

But I'm glad to have this audio record because Sligo was like a real dive bar, not a trendy dive bar,

just a great, super casual, no frills place to get a drink.

So I'm so glad to share this episode with you,

which I think we'll give you a vivid sense of what made it so special.

Now, of course, I love hearing from you,

and I want to know what episodes you think we should reheat.

Send me an email or voice memo to hello at sporkful.com.

Tell me your name, location.

What episode you want us to reheat and why so cheers and happy st patrick's day

so how do you feel about the term dive bar it doesn't bother me at all that's good this is

steve he's the bartender at an old irish bar Somerville, Mass, called Sligo Pub.

And Steve's been there for six years, but the bar's been there a lot longer.

There's a guy that comes in here.

He's 78.

He was shining shoes when he was eight years old in here.
