Originally when Geno bought the place, the bar was named after Mary Beth, called "Buttercup's" cuz that was her nickname. Buttercup is wife number seven and probably the last because he's an ornery old fart and nobody else will put up with his shit, if you know I mean. Before that it was Sap's Place and eventually they took the name back because guys just won't go to a bar named after a flower. Southern boys are funny like that. Sap's Place sits on old Highway 51 business before you cross the double bridges dripping in kudzu. The Forked Deere river rises and falls on both sides of the highway.
