Southie Taxi Cab Boston 617-269-4444 Massachusetts,ma,mass,south boston,boston

This may be the easiest Question I ever got asked.

Murphy`s Law located at 837 Summer Street South Boston, MA 02127
(617) 269-6667. Why do I LOVE this place?

1) They are the only bar in Southie with a 2 o’clock Licence.

2) They were prominently featured in the Ben Affleck produced film Gone Baby Gone and let’s be honest. Murphy’s was the best actor in the film. Was there ever another movie set in Boston that sucked this badly?
3) It has a 2 o’clock licence and its the only place in Southie that does.
I said that twice for a reason.. if you don’t get it.. move along back to Cambridge MR Affleck.

I was once in this place to drop off some T-Shirts for Sean the bartender and who walks in but former Boston Mayor and Ambassador to the Holy See Ray Flynn. I used to read about this guy daily in the Boston papers as a child so I was star struck instantly. The bartender Sean sees me looking and immediately introduces me.

Sean ” Mr. Ambassador I would like you to meet Mike from Southie Cab he is trying to get his new business off the ground”

Ambassador Flynn ” Congratulations have you been a cabbie long?”
Me Smiley widely “Yes Mr. Ambassador” Then a completely blank stare.. that seemed to last around 45 minutes.

At some point the Ambassador realised I was not going to say anything else and said ” Well congratulations and good luck” as he picked up his fresh poured coffee and headed to a corner table to meet a man who appeared to have been waiting on him.
Every time I drive by Murphy`s now I think about this and kick myself for not speaking up. I could have made a play for an endorsement or.. something.. instead I gave a blank star struck stare. Maybe if the Ambassador reads this he will understand.
