What is your favorite bar?

[AngryAmish]

Among others, I am fond of the Village Tap. See review here

Good food, nice beer garden, etc. I used to live down the block and I don't get over there as much as I should, but I miss it so.

[Mistress Quickly]

1. Candy?

Sorry, pretty much a tee-totaler nowadays.

[southpaw]

2. Yah... I was gonna say 'Snickers'

---F is for friends who do things together...

[Mistress Quickly]

14. U is for u and me!

[seriousstan]

3. One that has been lowered.

[name not needed]

38. You're tellin me.

:D

[sniffa]

4. the fours

it's withing waLking distance to my pLace, and they make good martinis (a must). i aLso enjoy their food.

[loudestchick]

5. The Levee--young political movers and shakers gather upstairs

I spent my 21st b-day there, it's been at the top of my list ever since...15 yrs later.

[ceile]

6. Bull McCabe's

A well frequented Irish pub in downtown Austin (next to the Salvation Army and a homeless shelter). I love it!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. A crowbar.

Not only does it open jammed doors, it is great for smiting.

[sniffa]

8. my favorite is 'bLuey' the bLue crowbar

ahhh, oLd bLuey... good times.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Didst he besmiteth thine enemies most wrathfully?

Hurrah for Bluey!

[terrya]

27. I guess I like Big Chicks the best, overall.

Yes, that's the name of a terrific bar on Sheridan in Chicago. Reasonable prices, friendly atmosphere (Michelle Fire, the owner, is a nice, nice lady. :-)) and a buffet indoors on Sundays...and cookouts outside in summer...for free (though you'd be a cheap bastard if you didn't put anything in the tip jar)

Great bar!

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. I have a nonexistent social life.

:evilfrown:

[Skeet]

11. Akiko's and O'Shea's

O'Shea's is (obviously) a Irish bar. Akiko's is a karaoke bar that serves Crazy Kool-Aid: Sake and blue kool-aid. The place is pretty much a dive, but it is fun as hell.

[fit4life]

13. I'm partial to mine.

It doubles as a kitchen counter, but it has everything I need, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg for a decent buzz. Plus, I don't have to share the television with a bunch or irritating drunks. Well, not unless my family comes by. lol

12. Mother Egan's Irish Pub

Good Democrats, those Irish guys! :thumbsup:

[sundog]

15. Bar-barella

[Rainbowreflect]

16. The Zoo.

Great blues bar!

[dubyaD40web]

17. Forster's in KC!

Great sports bar and home to dubyaD40.

[Beaverhausen]

18. Deer Park Tavern in Newark, DE

back in the early 80s I lived a block from it and was there every night. Good god!!!

I hear it is much changed now but back in the day...

[Susang]

19. Cleo's is probably the one I go to the most

On Chicago Ave in Ukranian Village. Our favorite waitress Julie speaks 4 languages and can swear in all of them! :-)

[AngryAmish]

20. Tuman's Alcohol Abuse Center

Greatest bar name ever. Too bad they ruined the place.

[Susang]

24. If you weren't an alcoholic, junkie or bum

Then you were part of the crowd that ruined it. Don't think I don't blame myself as well, though I didn't really hang out there much. Isn't gentrification grand? ;-)

I always prefered Stella's to Tuman's myself. I like to surround myself with aging Eastern European hard drinking types like myself. Makes me feel at home. :D

[AngryAmish]

26. I lived at Wood/Augusta about 6 years ago

I was not a regular at Tuman's. But, it was cheap. I suppose I was part of the gentrification horde.

[Susang]

33. I've lived in the neighborhood since 1992

In various areas. Though I keep getting priced out of my apartments. :mad:

[AngryAmish]

36. Place has changed

Those monster 3 flats that have grown up there. The old dump I used to live in has been demolished (good riddence). I might go back there tonight and hit the old places one more time.

[FrankBooth]

21. Poor Man's Bar on St. Thomas USVI

Plunk down $2.50, order a White Russian, they give you a glass of Ice, some cream, a bottle of Absolut and a bottle of Kahlua and you mix your own drink. And you can roll the dice for it - if you win, your drink is free, if you lose, you pay double.

[Dan-W]

22. Philthy McNasty's

Upper James St.
Hamilton, ON

[dean_dem]

23. The limbo bar!

How low can you go? Anyone? ......Anyone?.....All right, fine! *walks out, slams door*

[jswordy]

25. My house

No worries about DUI, always has my brand in stock, no offensive customers, always has the right tunes/TV shows on, and the service is great! Plus, I always get overserved and never pay a tip!

[lapislzi]

28. Napoleon House, New Orleans

Read Codrescu's Messi@h. Describes the splendid decay better than I ever could.

I can't wait to go back and enjoy some poetic malaise with a touch of Pernod.

[Borgnine]

29. Cheers

It's a nice little place on Deacon Street in Boston, right under Melville's Seafood Restaurant. I haven't really been there since 1993.

[B Calm]

30. North Side Pub, Covington, Indiana

[progmom]

31. this one

naw...really this one:

[NoSheep]

32. Legend Brewing- Richmond VA...the beer is psychedelic!

Although the owner says I'm crazy. There's a patio where you can look out over the James river at the skyline and people come with their families and drink the fresh micro brew and eat the best hamburgers I've ever had. I no longer live in Richmond and I don't miss the racism, but I love that bar! Live music on Fridays and Sundays...FREE!:toast:

[Padraig18]

34. Roc's Black Front in Charleston, IL

A finer drinking and dining establishment can not be had in downstate Ilinois.

:)

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

35. Oh, you're in Chicago... my favorite is Kingston Mines!

Always a great great time to be had there. Incredible music, ambiance... open 'til FIVE AM!!
