I chose this place because the person who posted it spent a lot of his childhood in this bar and it reminded me of my uncle's bar. My grandfather and my uncle Ricky built, and owned a bar together in New Hampshire, called Richard's Pub. When my grandfather passed away, my uncle still continued to manage the bar by himself. My whole family would go visit at least once a month and I have a lot of childhood memories in that bar. There was a loft above the bar where me and my sisters would play while the adults were downstairs drinking. However, we did occasionally get to join in on the fun. My sister was the only 10 year old bartender in the state of New Hampshire and she was actually pretty good, so I was told. My big moment came when I was six. I got to participate in the weekly open mic night with my aunt Valentina. I sang "I am so beautiful" and the whole bar cheered me on. I still have the tape of that performance and it is one of the greatest memories of that bar that I still have in my possesion. Richard's Pub held a lot of family events, including Thanksgiving until my uncle couldn't handle on his own anymore. The bar is still in the same place, but it's been redone a few times and it's just not the same that it used to be. I miss Richard's Pub, but I will have the memories with me always.
