Description
A mean, low-ceilinged and dimly lit joint with an oddly Old West frontage, the Hanne was less a pub than a fight with drinks.
History
The origins of this watering-hole (emphasis on the 'hole') are lost to time: suffice to say that its history as a place for people to get lathered and then violent is a long and dishonourable one.
The name Hanne comes from the publican who opened the present structure (describing it as a 'building' is setting the bar too high, so to speak) in 1834; a convicted brawler, he nonetheless knew how to store beer - not that the rough clientele were in much of a state to appreciate his talents after a few rounds had been downed. Hanne was also the originator of the pub's famous 24/7/365 policy, whereby the pub's doors were constantly kept open for business for a record 170 years. Nowadays, patrons often struggle to keep the doors shut against unwelcome visitors.
The never-ending round of fisticuffs, mauling and '10-second Fight Clubs' spilling into the street resulted in the pub being threatened with closure by the authorities on numerous occasions, but the need for nor'easterners to have a place to let off steam was widely recognised, and no doubt the landlords were ensuring a steady flow not only of booze to the slum-dwellers but of bribes to the Federal Council.
When the Pegton Wall was built, the Hanne was on the 'wrong' side - just one of the factors that eventually resulted in the Wall being torn down by thirsty protestors.
