About Callahan's...

Callahan's Place was the original. Located off Route 25A somewhere in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York it was run by Mike Callahan himself. It operated for over 40 years until it was destroyed by a nuke in the course of saving the Earth. Immediately afterwards Mike Callahan and family (along with Josie Bauer) departed for some other ficton.

The regulars at Callahan's Place included Jake (who is the narrator through almost all of the Callahan's books), Doc Webster, Fast Eddie, Long-Drink, Tom Flannery, Isham Latimer, Jim Omar, Joe Maser (And his wives Susan and Susie), John Smiley, Josie Bauer, Marty Matthias, Noah Gonzalez, Pyotr, and Shorty Steinitz. They are joined by the newcomers Mickey Finn, Tommy Janssen, Tom Hauptman (who ended up helping to bartend there), Jim & Paul MacDonald, Rachel, Ralph von Wau Wau, Billy Walker, and the Cheerful Charlies.

Callahan's Place is visited by The Meddler, Dink Fogerty, Kathy Anders, The Beast, Raksha, Al Phee, and Robert Trebor. It is also sometimes visited by Spider Robinson, who says that he does so in order to get new stories that he can then publish.



Lady Sally's Place place was a brothel located in Brooklyn, New York City.



Mary's Place was opened by Jake to fill the void left after the destruction of Callahan's Place. It was located somewhere off Route 25A in Smithtown, Long Island and ran only a few months when it was shut down by an angry bureaucrat.

During the trip they are joined by Pixel and Marty Pignatelli.

  • Information about specific members of any online or offline community

Article Creation Guidelines
  1. Make sure the article doesn't already exist (The best way is to check the appropriate Category)
  2. Create a Wikia account for the best results please. Feel free to share your personal puns, riddles, songs, and tall tales on your user page NOT in an article.
  3. Create the article with the character's full ("straight") name. If they're addressed differently create a redirect to the full name page
  4. Make sure you add the appropriate category to the bottom of the article
  5. When writing articles link to Wikipedia for non-Callahan's type stuff that need more explanation.

Note: In an attempt to head-off any angry e-mails let me clarify one thing: I have nothing personally against online communities or fan fiction. It's just not what this wiki is about. There are wikis out there coving fan collectives.
