      Strange: of all things possibly connected you mentioned that movie and Gene Hackman. I&#x27;ve had both the brain w.r.t. to the current administration.

    King George in Bristol PA is quite a good place<p>&quot;As George Washington&#x27;s army approached Bucks County in 1781, the image of George II was replaced with a likeness of General Washington&quot;

    It&#x27;s really nice seeing those pubs the are really connected to a tumultuous history.<p>The oldest pub I&#x27;ve been not too far from is &quot;The Old Ferry Boat Inn&quot;. The structure isn&#x27;t that old, dating to the 17th Century. It is claimed to date to 560 AD, but if you believe that, I have a bridge (very old) I&#x27;d like to sell you.

      People getting continuously drunk since 560 AD somewhere seems a little more believable than the oldest pub in a state managing to be a speak easy during prohibition.

        For sure pubs ran through prohibition.<p>McSorley&#x27;s Old Ale House on the Lower East Side of Manhattan was definitely fully operational during prohibition. You can read about it on Wikipedia, but my preferred reference is Joseph Mitchel&#x27;s &quot;McSorley&#x27;s Wonderful Saloon&quot;

    Warrens Tavern was surprisingly solid for what I expected to be a tourist trap

    setting aside my disappointment over DC&#x27;s absence (I know the heading says &quot;state&quot; strictly but still ... ) Wyoming&#x27;s is really a purpose-fitting one
