Summary
The Shamrock Bar was an island business that Archie LaFreniere reported selling after 36 years in 1973. September–October 1973 and January 1974 classified ads show the business operating under Jim Timsak and Barb Beckers, with food, beverage, and light-lunch service.
Evidence and limits
The held issues establish advertised operation and a reported transfer, not a deed, license, exact closing date, ownership shares, or complete business history. The Shamrock Bar is not silently equated with the separately modeled 1945 Shamrock Inn.
