4 Best Bars in the United States

I’ve seen a lot of bars. Not because I drink a lot, I can assure you that I don’t drink very much at all. But when you’re a guest in all 50 states for a year people like to bring you to drinking establishments, and it’s the truth, you create a bond when you go out and have a beer. I ain’t lyin’. I may have to start a bar review. Here are the best bars in the country in their given category.

Casual cocktails: The Back Room, Lower East Side, NYC
Looking for some casual cocktails? Well fly to NYC if you have to, because this is the place to be. Low key, intimate, personal, and fun. It’s like a museum and they serve your drinks in tea cups.

Casual beers: Keweenaw Brewing Company, Houghton, MI
For quality beer, cheap prices, and good conversation head to Houghton, MI. Do whatever it takes to get there, even if it’s the snow storm of the century. It’s warm and toasty inside, friendly, and super laid back and casual.

Clothing optional: Garden of Eden, Key West, FL
You read it yourself, clothing optional. If you’re feeling a little risque you best get yourself to Key West. I haven’t seen anything else like it. What more can I say.

Best overall and best college bar: The Phyrst, State College, PA
Crazy times, young crowd, and an atmosphere you won’t see anywhere else. There is a camaraderie here that I haven’t seen elsewhere. They have fun games, you can get your own mug, live music. Be sure to bring lots of energy.
