14 coolest bars in the States? They are if you ask Gourmet Magazine
The October issue of Gourmet magazine has listed what it believes are the 14 coolest bars in the United States open before 1941. Seven bars get a write-up including Philadelphia’s McGillin’s Olde Ale House in Center City; Bemelmans Bar in New York City; Tujague’s in New Orleans; Tosca Cafe in San Francisco; the Green Mill in Chicago; Huber’s in Portland, Ore.; and Frolic Room in Hollywood.
Finishing up the list are Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood; Heinold’s First and Last Chance in Oakland, Calif.; Napoleon House in New Orleans; Pete’s Tavern in New York; Shinnick’s Pub in Chicago; Sultana Bar in Williams, Ariz.; and the Tap Room of the Griswold Inn in Essex, Conn.
Have you found a favorite bar in your travels that you’d recommend to folks traveling out of state? I wrote about one of mine at the very beginning of the year that’s only a couple of hours away and well worth a visit if you’re in the Indianapolis area. Let us know where you’d recommend and we’ll add it to our ever growing Lounge Lizards list thanks in part to the latest issue of Gourmet.
