History 

---

In July of 1901, Timothy O'Boyle found himself serving drinks by chance in Valentine. Encountering tremendous success during his first week, Timmy believed it was time to depart from the less-than-desirable town.
Heading south to Rhodes, he stumbled upon an abandoned parlour house that exuded an Irish ambiance. Recognizing this as a sign, Timmy decided to establish his very own Irish Pub within the old parlour house in Rhodes.

Word of the friendly atmosphere and captivating stories quickly spread, attracting people from all corners of New Alexandria to the Irish Pub. To enhance the experience, Timmy organized various events such as "Timmy's Tequila Tuesday," "Topless Thursday," "Black Friday," and more.
However, the bustling pub often left Timmy short-handed, with an overflowing crowd of customers.
To alleviate the workload, Timmy hired Bob Volkov as a dishwasher and bartender, and Ricky Shay took charge of ensuring the safety of both customers and staff.
On August 29th, 1901, Little Timmy's expanded its staff and services by bringing on board Ramona Hess. Recognizing her exceptional culinary skills, Timothy appointed her as the pub's chef. From that day forward, patrons could visit the Irish Pub and enjoy a satisfying meal alongside their drinks.

The Boston Blinders family
Despite its success, Little Timmy's Irish Pub faced occasional challenges. One such difficulty arose when The Boston Blinders, a powerful family known for their control over the city of Saint Denis, would pay Timothy occasional visits. These visits were usually amicable, serving as a testament to the pub's reputation.

However, one fateful night, the atmosphere took a dark turn with the arrival of George McCall and his intoxicated companions. In a state of drunkenness, George abruptly drew a revolver, pointing it menacingly at Timmy. The sudden threat left Timmy shaken and filled with fear, uncertain of what might transpire next.

Overwhelmed by fear and the traumatic incident, Timothy made the difficult decision to temporarily close the doors of Little Timmy's Irish Pub. Concerned for his well-being, Ricky Shay and Connor Boysenberry, displaying unwavering loyalty, took charge and organized a search party to locate Timmy.
After an arduous search, they eventually discovered Timmy seeking refuge in a modest shack near Flatneck Station. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Ricky and Connor decided to stay by Timmy's side, providing him with comfort and support during those challenging days.

Once Timmy felt a renewed sense of security, they made their way back to the pub, hoping to resume normal operations. However, what they encountered upon their return was disheartening. The once vibrant and welcoming atmosphere had been marred by chaos and destruction.

The Krays days
Following the departure of The Boston Blinders, the power vacuum in the City of Saint Denis led to the resurgence of The Krays, who swiftly organized and assumed control. Initially, there were no immediate conflicts between Timothy and The Krays, and the pub continued to operate smoothly under their rule.

However, as time passed, the leader of The Krays, Aiden Kray, began exerting his dominance and intimidating tactics. Step by step, he started to make Little Timmy feel increasingly unsafe and uncomfortable within his own establishment. Recognizing the deteriorating situation, Timothy made the difficult decision to close the pub once again, this time for an extended period of time.

With ongoing hostilities and the looming presence of The Krays, word spread quickly throughout the region, causing people to steer clear of Rhodes. The once-thriving pub that was once a hub of community and camaraderie now stood empty and desolate, its doors closed to the outside world.

Despite the temporary closure, Timothy's spirit remained undeterred. He understood the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of his patrons, and he was determined to find a way to overcome the challenges imposed by The Krays and create a secure environment once again.

The expansion
With the revival of Little Timmy's Irish Pub, the vibrant energy returned to Rhodes, slowly drawing people back to the town. Sensing an opportunity to further enrich his pub's offerings, Timothy conceived the idea of searching for an apprentice brewer. His intention was to share his brewing wisdom and passion with a new generation. This aspiration led him to discover Johan Espeland.

Joined by Johan's enthusiasm, Timmy embarked on a journey to the Strawberry brewery, where they delved into the intricate art of brewing. Guiding Johan through the steps and secrets of the craft, they embarked on an ambitious endeavor: creating the very first Irish Dry Stout in New Alexandria.

Their collaborative efforts resulted in the birth of "Tipsy Clover Irish Dry Stout." This unique brew embodied the essence of Ireland, carrying the rich flavors of roasted malt and the warmth of camaraderie that the pub stood for. As they continued to refine their brewing skills, the stout grew in popularity, captivating the palates of those who sought a taste of something distinct and exceptional.

While Timothy and Johan honed their brewing techniques, Levan Benashvili's mathematical aptitude came into play. His skillful management of importing ingredients and tracking stout sales ensured the pub's operations ran smoothly, allowing the team to focus on perfecting their craft.

Little Timmy's Irish Pub not only reclaimed its status as a community cornerstone but also established itself as a haven for connoisseurs of finely brewed beverages. The Tipsy Clover Irish Dry Stout became more than a drink; it became a symbol of the pub's dedication to craftsmanship, tradition, and the enduring spirit of camaraderie.
