Behind the bar, she serves not only drinks but also as a sounding board for patrons who come to share their woes or triumphs. Maggie listens attentively, offering sage advice or simply a sympathetic ear, making her an unofficial therapist for the community.

Maggie shares a close friendship with Teague Fagan and Captain Bill. She appreciates Teague’s quiet wisdom and often engages him in deep conversations about the sea and its mysteries. With Captain Bill, she enjoys playful banter, often teasing him about his drinking habits while ensuring he has a steady supply of rum.Her relationships with the sailors are marked by camaraderie; they often bring her tales of their adventures on the high seas, which she eagerly absorbs and retells with embellishments that keep her audience entertained.
