The night Susan and I met we ended up here, dancing to James Brown on the jukebox with a couple of friends. Back then it was a dive called “The Five Oh” because the street address was 50-something but the something had fallen off and was never replaced.

I think it became the Hopvine in 1995. We hung out here a lot when we lived just around the corner. Nice little pub that’s stood the test of time. And they have live music. I saw Pearl Django here once.
