The Tender Bar: A Memoir by J. R. Moehringer. Moehringer, a national correspondent won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2000. Take a look at the article he wrote that won the Pulitzer.
You can learn more about the author by visiting his web site.
This is a coming of age story about a fatherless boy looking for male role models to fill the void left by his absent father. The family he creates are those he finds in the local pub. Led by his Uncle Charlie and his fellow bartenders of Dickens/Publicans, Moehringer's family of men are portrayed lovingly and somewhat sentimentally. I found the book poignant and his story a testament to overcoming one's dysfunctional family.
