Like I said, it's been a while for me. I definitely got some rereading to do. Time to hit up the local library.
Labster, no worries. Callahan stories tend to be shorts for the most part, and are an utter joy to read for how wonderfully they portray humanity and some of its more interesting quirks.
Callahan's... It's very much a traditional pub, and yet not. You walk into Callahan's and it's like stumbling into a whole community of strange and fascinating people where everyone knows each other, but no one is really treated as an outsider unless they do something deserving of it. (And it has happened before, apparently - Callahan threw a very large man out through the front door. Literally, through a door made of solid oak. It's been mended, but hasn't hung quite right ever since.)
Really, ladies are not a common sight there, but your girls? They'd probably love it. It has the same sort of magical draw to it that the canals of Aqua has to them. Only instead of architectural and natural wonders, there are people that have a quiet sort to liveliness to them.
But yes, definitely read the books. You won't be disappointed.
