Top Ten TV Bars

Well, it's Friday, Freaks, and do you know what that means?

I need a drink.

Oh, and also, it's time for the top ten list.

Drink up!


1. Regatta Bar, Ally Mc Beal

This rocking piano bar not only had the dulcet stylings of Ms. Vonda Shepard, but occasionally played host to more exciting acts. I mean, where else can you wear your heeled loafers and micro-mini while listening to Barry White?

Hey, remember when this was a thing?

2. MacLaren's, How I Met Your Mother

The bar I would officially frequent if I were a TV character. A comfy, cute, remarkably laid back bar (especially for Manhattan) with beer on tap? Yes, please! Plus, added bonus of getting hit on by Barney at least once a weekend.

Pitchers! In New York City!  ($47.25)

3. Boar's Nest, The Dukes of Hazzard

Everybody loves a bar where a brawl is always imminent, right? Sure, Boss' office is in the back, but there's that convenient escape route. Plus, and I don't know if you know this, but Daisy Duke works there. In her...shorts.

Yeah, we"ll call 'em "shorts".

4. Caritas, Angel

Sometimes a person (or vampire or demon) just wants to let loose with a little karaoke, you know? Rock a little Barry Manilow, hear all about your destiny as an added bonus. Plus, I hear they make a mean Seabreeze. Also, less likely to die here than at The Bronze.


5. Peach Pit After Dark, Beverly Hills 90210
This bar and occasionally club, owned by father figure Nat (or David, or Valerie, or that guy who dated Donna, or whoever) would not only serve a mean martini, but hosted Donna Martin Originals fashion shows, singing sensation Jamie Walters, and overdoses in the bathroom. Plus, Brian Austin Green rapping. Let's all remember how awesome that was:

                                                       This is the whitest thing you will ever see.


6. Woody's, Queer As Folk

Though far less flashy, sexy, or thumpa-thumpa than its counterpart Babylon, Woody's always seemed like much more fun to me. Oh, god. Does that make me a Ted?

Yep, I'm totally going for the atmosphere.

7. Ten-Forward, Star Trek: The Next Generation

It's a bar. In space.


8. Gray's Pub, Cougar Town

You know this classy bar has the best wine selection on this list, and bottles big enough to fill your Big Carl. Plus, the nachos have three kinds of cheese on them.


9. Paddy's Pub, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

It's got a pool table, and a dart board, and beer. Really, what else do you need? It's the worst bar in Philadelphia, so you know it's better than all the bars in Cleveland, Detroit, and Salt Lake City.

In-house band? Handled.

10. Cheers, Cheers

Because sometimes you just want to go where everybody knows your name. Even if they won't let you sit on the bar stools. Clearly, those are reserved.
