He figured some of our more outstanding incidents in history, started in the pub. Boston tea party being his primary example.

hmmm, I've had the opportunity to travel to a vast number of seaside ports in the U.S. Some of which still have colonial era pubs open for business. I thought it odd at the time but no matter what town we were in, pub or not. All had some sort of sign posted claiming George Washington stopped in for a drink and to strategize.

Of course whether it really happened or not it's good for business to post such things too.
