On this episode of "Last Call with Richard Crouse" we visit McSorley's Old Ale House on Seventh Street in New York's East Village. McSorley's may not be New York's oldest bar, the Bridge Café (dates to 1794), Ear Inn (circa 1817) and Chumley's (established 1830s) all predate John McSorley's business, but it is one of the most colourful. It's sometimes hard to sort between the fact and fiction that swirls around the bar's legend, but one thing is for sure, there is no arguing with their motto, “We were here before you were born.”At the afterparty Rafe Bartholomew stops by to talk about the bar where Abraham Lincoln once had a beer and its history. Rafe's father Bart worked there for 45 years, the family lived upstairs for a time and on the weekends he'd help his dad get the place up and running and later, in his twenties, he continued the family tradition and worked behind the bar. His book, "Two and Two: McSorley's, My Dad, and Me," is a great read about fathers, sons and one great bar.

Rafe Bartholomew is a staff writer covering boxing for The Athletic. He’s also a New York Times Bestselling author of Basketball: A Love Story, as well as Pacific Rims and Two and Two: McSorley's, My Dad, and Me. Before joining The Athletic, he worked as an editor at Eater.com and Grantland.com and hosted Hoop Nation for CNN Philippines.

March 26, 2018 - It's a special episode, recorded live on the campus of New York University at the Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference, co-sponsored by the American Journalism Historians Association and the History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. The spot at No. 20 Bowery is in sight of the Cooper Union where Abraham Lincoln gave the 1860 speech that launched him into the presidency, and steps from 114 Bowery, where Steve Brodie bragged about jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. It's also just a few blocks from Manhattan's oldest bar, McSorley's Old Ale House, familiar to those of you who enjoyed my chat with Rafe Batholomew on his memoir Two and Two: McSorley's, My Dad, and Me. Joining me at NYU is of my all-time favorite time-travelers, Esther Crain, the great and powerful Oz behind the wildly popular blog, Ephemeral New York, which runs under the tagline: "Chronicling an ever-changing city through faded and forgotten artifacts." Esther is also the author of 2014's New York City in 3D In The Gilded Age, a box set that not only offered a book with Esther's sharp writing and rare images compiled by the New-York Historical Society, but also a Stereoscopic Viewer to bring the turn of the last century to life in three dimensions. Esther has spent 15 years writing and editing for top consumer magazines and health/lifestyle websites including Cosmopolitan, Self, Shape, Glamour, Women's Health, and Health magazines. Now she's back on our bookshelf with The Gilded Age in New York, 1870-1910. Visit her blog at EphemeralNewYork.Wordpress.com, where you can sign up for emails of each new article she posts. You can also follow her @EphemeralNY on Twitter or like her on Facebook page. Special thanks for this installment goes to Nick Hirshon of William Paterson University and Pamela Walck of Duquesne University for inviting us to close out the JJCHC.

June 26, 2017 - This week, our time machine visits New York City's oldest bar, McSorley's Old Ale House. Our theme song, "New York Ain't New York Anymore," laments the loss of places where "the sawdust is gone from the floor." Well in this East Village landmark, where the clock has literally stopped, and that means still spreading the sawdust every morning -- and that they refused to admit women until a federal court forced them to in 1970 (or build them their own bathroom until 1986). Founded in 1854 by John McSorley and carried on by his son Bill, this saloon serves only two kinds of ale -- light or dark -- and always by the pair. Our guest this week, author Rafe Bartholomew, grew up in the bar like Old Bill before him. Rafe's father is Geoffrey "Bart" Bartholomew, who has spent half a century behind the taps and had thousands of New York Moments, from serving the New York Rangers ale out of the Stanley Cup in 1994, to bringing U2's Bono down to earth with a curt, "Boner who?" Rafe's book is titled: Two and Two: McSorley’s, My Dad, and Me, and it's as an heir to Joseph Mitchell's famous 1940 piece in the New Yorker: "The Old House at Home."  Rafe is also the author of Pacific Rims: Beermen Ballin' in Flip-Flops and the Philippines' Unlikely Love Affair with Basketball, and was one of the original editors of Grantland. Find Rafe at Rafeboogs on Twitter or RafeBartholomew.com, and check out Bart's works of saloon-inspired verse in The McSorley Poems: Voices from New York City's Oldest Pub, as well as Volume 2: Light or Dark, at TheMcSorleyPoems.net.    

Rafe Bartholomew is the former features editor at Grantland and the author of Two and Two: McSorley’s, My Dad, and Me. “I never saw it as something negative because [my dad] comes out, to me, at the end, extremely heroic. … He becomes this dad who I idolized as a bartender, a guy who would hang out with me and make me laugh, a guy I just adored almost every step of the way. I mean, of course, everybody gets into fights. But to me it was always so obvious that he had overcome the problems in his childhood, he’d overcome his own drinking problem, he’d done all these things, and by the time I was older, he’d even found a way to get back into writing and self-publish a couple of books of poems about the bar. So he’s sort of managed to tick off all those goals, just maybe not on the same schedule, maybe not in the most normal way.” Thanks to MailChimp, V by Viacom, and 2U for sponsoring this week's episode. @Rafeboogs rafebartholomew.com Bartholomew on Longform Pacific Rims: Beermen Ballin’ in Flip-Flops and the Philippines’ Unlikely Love Affair with Basketball (Berkley • 2011) Bartholomew’s Archive at Grantland Two and Two: McSorley’s, My Dad, and Me (Little, Brown & Company • 2017) "The Old House at Home" (Joseph Mitchell • New Yorker • Apr 1940) [3:45] Bartholomew’s Archive at Harper’s [22:00] The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams (Darcy Frey • Mariner Books • 2013) [22:00] Swee’ Pea: The Story of Lloyd Daniels and Other Playground Basketball Legends (John Valenti • Atria • 2016) [29:00] Coverage of Grantland at Deadspin [29:30] "The Legend of the Iron Five" (Chuck Klosterman • Grantland • Jun 2011) [24:11] "Press X for Beer Bottle: On L.A.

From the sawdust on the floor to the dusty wishbones hanging from above, McSorley's Old Ale House has been an iconic institution in New York City since 1854. I am joined today by Rafe Bartholomew who wrote the AMAZING book “Two and Two: McSorley’s, My Dad, and Me”. Rafe brought along his father Bart, who is not only the legendary bartender at McSorely’s but one hell of a story teller. Rafe and his pops take us on a roller coaster ride of emotions as they describe the history of the bar, how they got started in the business, the sawdust on the floor, and the iconic Houdini handcuffs that dangle from the rafters. We get to hear how Bart served the New York Rangers beer in the Stanley Cup, the famous “Beefcake” story and much much more.  After reading the book OR listening to the interview, I can guarantee you that you’ll be making a stop at this legendary bar very soon! My favorite part of the interview? The friendship and love that Rafe and Bart share for each other.
