A little history for you...
Before there was the 'Shoe, there was nothing... Well, okay, that's not entirely true. Actually, our building has gotten around a little bit. Intrigued? Read on: The Horseshoe Pub building was built by F. D. Brigham in 1832, and occupied the lot next to Town Hall, on Main Street in the charming little burg we call Hudson, MA. The building was moved before 1880 to its present location on South Street, to make way for the construction of Jeff's Block. It became part of the property of H. H. Mawhinney and Company, later Logan Shoe Company, and was the home of one of the foremen and his family. In 1980, the building was taken over by the Horseshoe Pub and Restaurant. The restaurant's name originated from the relationship with a partner who was in the Harness Horse Racing business. In 1984, the Pizzimento family bought out their partner, and the Horseshoe is presently run by Al Pizzimento and family. In September of 2004, renovations were completed to what the building is today.
That's Al's son Nick in the middle picture up there, pouring a frosty beverage. And now you know! (Commit that all to memory now, because there might be a quiz.)
