Disch's Route 53 Tavern

Disch’s Tavern opened on October 25, 2015, but its actual story began in the spring of 1974. This story is not told to recognize the accomplishments behind Disch’s Tavern, but to serve as an inspiration that hard work and determination can pay off. Paul Disch’s father wanted Paul to become an attorney. After graduating from Boston College, Paul applied to fifteen law schools, and was rejected by all of them. Hoping to improve his potential for acceptance, he took courses to improve his LSAT scores and did graduate work at Babson College. The following year, Paul applied to twelve law schools . . . and was accepted to the Wethersfield School of Law in Hartford, Connecticut. After successfully completing his first year of law school, Wethersfield was closed down by the State of Connecticut. It seemed as if life kept trying to redirect Paul. Out of school and a job, Paul picked up a copy of the Boston Sunday Globe and searched out job opportunities. There it was: “Saloon Keeper.”
