AFTER HOURS: TALES FROM THE UR-BAR, edited by Joshua Palmatier & Patricia Bray, available on March 1st, 2011.
The first bar, created by the Sumerians after they were given the gift of beer by the gods, was known as the Ur-Bar. Although it has since been destroyed, its spirit lives on--in each age there is one bar that captures the essence of the original Ur-Bar, where drinks are mixed with magic and served with a side of destiny and intrigue.
