Crisis at the Black Bear Cafe & Irish Pub

22 August 2010

Our regularly-scheduled, folk-music-fueled evening of fine food and drink was horribly marred Friday night when the Guinness tap broke in the middle of the festivities. Women screamed, children cried and dogs were heard howling a mile away in the cool, late summer night in Naples. We were just about to call in a priest to give last rites when owner John Bohill called in a specialist known only as….

Axe.

Lickety-split, wham-bam and faster than it actually takes to properly pour a pint of Guinness, Axe was in the door, wielding a brand-spanking new tap. It was a thing of beauty for sure. With a few quick turns of his wrench he had the bar back in business and the dark, sweet nectar flowing.

Thanks man. Really. Thanks.

Friday nights at the Black Bear Cafe

9 August 2010

The Black Bear Cafe: An Irish Pub in Naples, Maine is our new home on Friday nights. John and Susan Bohill run a great place serving breakfast, lunch and dinner — as well as a great pint of Guinness. They opened the cafe in 2006 and the food is incredible. We’re going to have fun working our way through the menu!

John, had been in the restaurant business in Massachusetts in the 70’s and 80’s, and before that in Ireland. Susan’s father had a restaurant in Miami, Florida, the Big Fish, and while she only ate the food there, was always inspired and nourished by the hospitality and fine food.
