The storefront has changed. Don't look for the yellow sign or you'll never find it.

A local watering hole -- called "Ye Olde Watering Hole," nestled as it is in Colonial New England -- is lined floor to ceiling with nearly every beer can ever manufactured. There is no admission fee, though you might want to have a beer. It's cheap here.
The bar is also a popular hangout for the locals, who run the gamut from sanitary engineers to Smith college students to heroin-addicted local musicians.
