A new pub dedicated to Shane MacGowan, the legendary frontman of The Pogues, is set to open in New York City, serving as a tribute to the iconic musician known for his hard-living lifestyle and poignant lyrics. The establishment will be located on West 14th Street, taking over the former Irish bar McKenna's. Although no specific opening date has been announced, the bar aims to embody a blend of Tipperary and Dublin culture while honoring MacGowan's legacy. He passed away in 2023 at the age of 65, having battled health issues for several months. His widow, Victoria Mary Clarke, reflected on their life together, highlighting the excitement and uncertainty that came with MacGowan's lifestyle. In addition to the pub, a tribute album titled '20th Century Paddy' is scheduled for release later this year, featuring covers of his songs by 40 artists, including U2 and Bruce Springsteen, celebrating his impact on music and culture.
