pub

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans dates back to the 8th century, with a storied past featuring medieval pigeons, Oliver Cromwell and tunnels once traversed by monks. Now its future is uncertain.

Piel Island is made up of 50 acres a half-mile off England's northwestern coast, home to wildlife, castle ruins and a centuries-old pub. It's looking for a new landlord, who will also be crowned king.

To help humanize and bring historical perspective to the issue of immigration, the "No Irish Pub" turned away people based on two criteria: being Irish or wearing green to celebrate St. Paddy's Day.

PETA says the pub's name should reflect "society's growing compassion for animals and in celebration of intelligent, sensitive chickens."
