Moehringer's memoir, The Tender Bar, was published in 2005. It recounts his childhood through his early twenties, and tells of his coming-of-age experiences at a local bar called Publicans (previously called Dickens, subsequently renamed Edison's, and now renamed Publicans, which served as a sanctuary from his chaotic family life. A movie version of the memoir, The Tender Bar, directed by George Clooney and starring Ben Affleck, Tye Sheridan and Daniel Ranieri, was released on Amazon Prime on January 7, 2022. After retired tennis star Andre Agassi read The Tender Bar, he asked Moehringer to collaborate with him on his own memoir." __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "The New York Times bestseller and one of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2005. In the tradition of 'This Boy's Life' and 'The Liar's Club', a raucous, poignant, luminously written memoir about a boy striving to become a man, and his romance with a bar. . . . The alphas along the bar--including J.R.'s Uncle Charlie, a Humphrey Bogart look-alike; Colt, a Yogi Bear sound-alike; and Joey D, a softhearted brawler--took J.R. to the beach, to ballgames, and ultimately into their circle. They taught J.R., tended him, and provided a kind of fathering-by-committee. . . . In the grand tradition of landmark memoirs, The Tender Bar is suspenseful, wrenching, and achingly funny. A classic American story of self-invention and escape, of the fierce love between a single mother and an only son, it's also a moving portrait of one boy's struggle to become a man, and an unforgettable depiction of how men remain, at heart, lost boys."
