Bunghole Liquors
Yeah, you read it correctly. Last night Tara, Trevor and I went out with some friends of mine from work (Paula, Ryan, Theresa, Dave, Ted, Shawn, and Moy) to Moy's restaurant in Peabody, Buddha's Tavern. We had a great time and it is a really great restaurant, you should check it out. Very casual bar atmosphere with plenty of TV's and music while serving some of the best Chinese food I have had since moving to Massachusetts.
On our way there we passed Bunghole Liquors. Yep, the name is correct. Of course I had to stop and take a picture of it, but because my phone doesn't have a flash on the camera, my picture came out really bad at night. Luckily enough they accept the fact that the name of their store sparks curiosity, controversy and the occasional camera snap, so they put up a website for Bunghole Liquors.

The place was named by...a priest! Go to their website and check out the history of the store, it is a pretty interesting tale.

Paula, Ryan, Theresa, Dave, Ted, Shawn, and Moy? I think I recognize two of those names. Perkin Elmer, I hardly know yee (or is it thee...or ye? Any Chaucer fans out there who can clear(eth) this up?). How's it going up there by the way, Dave?
If memory serves, I believe there's a Bunghole Bar in Salem. What, is Massachusetts the Bunghole capital of the world?
Holly, you are correct. That is the location of the original one. And yes, MA is the bunghole capital of the world! :)
It's not a bar in salem though ... it's another liquer store
