Callaghan’s Named No. 1 Dive Bar In America

Callaghan’s Irish Social Club was recently named the No. 1 Dive Bar in America, according to Huckberry’s The Journal. The article describes Callaghan’s in this way: “Since owner J.T. Thompson bought Callaghan’s, a longstanding neighborhood pub on a cottage-lined corner of Mobile’s Oakleigh Garden District, in 2002, he’s cultivated a cultural anchor with a growing list of headlining artists who started out playing its tiny front room. Sometimes they return even when they could be on the marquee downtown. On St. Patrick’s Day, the green river of parade marchers pools in front of Callaghan’s for its annual street party. But whatever day it is, an LA Burger with a spicy, part-Conecuh sausage patty is the move.”
