10 Fictional TV Bars Where We Most Want To Grab A Beer
July 24th, 2009 by
NextRound in Featured, Television
One of Team Cool & Tough’s great gifts is the ability to come up with new places to grab a beer. So much so that we challenged ourselves to rank the top ten fictional TV bars we wish we could frequent. Unfortunately they don’t serve beer at The Max.
# 10: Isaac’s Bar - The Love Boat
The only thing we like more than a cruise ship packed full of horny cougars is a cruise ship packed full of horny cougars being fed drinks by Isaac the Bartender. If he can’t talk two chicks into doubling up on you no one can.
#9: The Forbidden City - Seinfeld
The secret model hangout that George stumbled upon is so well hidden you can’t even find a picture on the world wide web. One day we’ll score a photo of Man Hands and find our way in though.
#8: The Drunken Clam - Family Guy
If we had to settle for a second favorite fictional animated bar we’d go with The Drunken Clam, an establishment that serves canines and you’re free to tool on the disabled.
#7: The Peach Pit After Dark - Beverly Hills 90210
Slutty Beverly Hills chicks, all the nose candy your septum can handle, and a chance to see David Silver rap? Count us in. (Editor’s Note: Peach Pit After Dark footage is tough to come by so you’re going to have to settle for video of David Silver rapping.)
# 6: The Regal Beagle - Three’s Company
Single and looking to be awesome in Santa Monica in the late 70’s? Well then, The Regal Beagle is the spot. Be prepared to settle for Jack Tripper’s seconds though.
#5: Boar’s Nest - Dukes of Hazzard
Spare hubcaps AND Cold Beer served by Daisy Duke? We might move in.
#4: Moe’s Tavern - The Simpsons
The gold standard in fictional animated bars. In the near future we plan to Simpsonize ourselves and make a visit happen.
#3: Gem Saloon - Deadwood
No bar in television history defines “cool and tough” quite like the Gem Saloon. Sure, you might get shot or stabbed on any given night, but you’ll also be encouraged to drop c-bombs and bed a hooker.
#2: Cheers - Cheers
No explanation necessary here. Although, having a beer with George Wendt is on our list of top ten things to do before we die. We’re sure he’ll accommodate us.
#1: Paddy’s Pub - It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
“Day Man”, boozing with bums, dance offs, gambling with Vietnamese business men, high school girls, the occasional Green Man appearance, if we ever grab a beer at Paddy’s we may never leave.

Hey NextRound, this is an excellent top ten list. Good pick for #1, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the best show that people don’t know about. “Wild Card Bitches”! You can cross-post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

Cheers exists! I’ve been there! How the hell is that fictional?
And yes - It’s always sunny in Philadelphia is the best show - probably because Philly is the coolest city in the world. Go Phils!

What, no Ten Forward?

I think Kelsey’s Pub (later Archy’s Place) from All in the Family means more to the world than your #1. They accept fags and spades there as well as regular Americans.

Austin, I’m just curious, what are you referring to as the Cheers bar? The Bull & Finch Pub in Boston or one of the many “Cheers” franchise tourist bars?

If you’re ever in Philly, check out Paddy’s at 2nd and Race St. They look quite similar…

The Drunken Clam exists too. It’s in Naragansett, RI, so it’s no longer fictional.

What about the Max from Saved By the Bell??

Paddy’s Pub has no business being ranked better than Moe’s Tavern.

What about, Central Perk from Friends?

How about the ‘Bada bing’?

What about Quark’s Bar?

I don’t know the name but what about the bar in the TV show “How I met your mother”?

I like the redneck bar in My Name is Earl where a tender-hearted Crabman will cook you a crab and bring you a cold beer, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see a spectacular tantrum from the ever so hot Joy, or maybe even a catfight with Catalina.

Look, I love Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but this was a list with a no-brainer. There can’t be anything better than Cheers. It’s ridiculous to think there could be. Put your personal TV-taste aside and just show some respect.

The Peach Pit? WTF? Great place to go for sodas and bubblegum.

I gotta go with Moe’s. They had Aerosmith play live & they serve the “hottest drink in the world”, the “Flaming Moe!”

The Gem Saloon was a real place
NextRound says:
August 5th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Since people keep bringing it up, yeah, some of these places are real or may have been real at one time or another but they’re “fictional” because part of grabbing a beer there would be doing so with the characters. Get it?
Not so much interested in grabbing a beer with the local massholes at the Bull & Finch.

Hello my name is Kenny Jones I host a morning radio show in Alberta Canada, I was emailing to see if I could book a quick phone interview with someone from your website to talk about the top 10 ficton bars.
Can you help out with this? Also a great way to promote the site in Canada
