The bar in Rupert Holmes's song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is O'Malley's.
Released in 1979 on Holmes's album Partners in Crime, the song follows a bored man who answers a personal advertisement placed by a woman seeking a secret romantic escape. He arranges to meet her at O'Malley's, only to discover that the mysterious woman is his own partner. The twist turns what sounds like an affair into a story about two people rediscovering their shared appetite for adventure.
Many listeners know the song by its informal nickname, "The Piña Colada Song," because of its famous opening lyric. Its official title is "Escape," however, and that title appears on the original album and single. O'Malley's is easy to miss because it appears late in the narrative, just before the song reveals the couple's identity to each other.
