The Starry Plough, a Berkeley institution, became a second home for many thanks to Frances Hughes' hospitality.
Born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1939, Hughes emigrated to the United States when she was 19 years old. After a stop in Boston, Hughes moved to the Bay Area and helped found the Starry Plough in 1973.
“She would open her home, keep you, feed you and use all her resources and connections to help you get settled,” Eileen Hughes wrote in the Berkeleyside obituary. “For me, the Starry Plough was integral to my experience as a UC Berkeley student, whether I was dancing the night away with my friends at Funk Night or nervously taking the stage to sing at open mic nights,” wrotewhen the bar reopened after a long pandemic hiatus. “For the past two years, I kept anxiously returning to the bar’s Facebook page, hoping to god the pandemic wouldn’t snatch away one of the Bay Area institutions that most felt like home.
