Warsaw Tavern is from the Drew Carey show.

that last one (xpost)

Cheers! Anyone who votes for anything else is probably insane! Anyone who votes for central perk, probably certifiably so.

Yeah, but Cheers isn't really a canonical sitcom hangout, because it's where the majority of the show action occurs anyway.

i voted Arnold's

pros: best jukebox (also free if thumped), Weezer
cons: crepey old dude in leather jacket hanging out in bathroom

The Peach Pit - Beverly Hills 90210
Central Perk - Friends
Shooters - Melrose Place
The Maxx - Saved By the Bell
The Dot Grill - Degrassi: TNG
Cooper's - King of Queens
Riff's - Mad About You
The Bronze - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Cafe Nervosa - Frasier
Monk's Cafe - Seinfeld
The Hub - That 70s Show
Cheers - obv
The Warsaw Tavern - Drew Carey Show
Arnold's - Happy Days
The Regal Beagle - Three's Company
The Bigger Jigger - Mama's Family
The Bait Shop - The O.C.

Don't know what these are:

Degrassi: TNG
Mad About You
Three's Company
Mama's Family

Also, don't think The Drew Carey Show was ever shown in the UK either

I'd never hang out at Cheers

Unless I'm attending a congress in some god-forsaken midwest town

wow, three's company isn't known outside the us?

does the bar on how i met your mother have a name?

What was the cafe in Twin Peaks called? Or the pub in Northern Exposure? I don't think those are on the list.

Cafe in Twin Peaks was the Double R Diner, can't believe I left it out.

i was thinking about the twin peaks cafe. double r diner?

xp

That cafe had the best jukebox!

northern exposure - 'the brick', apparently.

regal beagle, no contest

no home and away diner?

10 Forward!

Quark's

write-in candidate: the cafe at Tom Nevers Field, Wings

xp yeah i'd love me some synthohol

SCOTTY IN TEN FORWARD TRYING TO GET SOME SCOTCH

The bar they sometimes went to in Roseanne always looked pretty good.

Al Swerengen's saloon

write-in candidate: the cafe at Tom Nevers Field, Wings

Damn, I was trying to find a name for that place!

what was the bar in All In The Family? that one was good until Archie bought the joint and they made it into a crappy show

hangouts that make me hungry because the food looks good - northern exposure, seinfeld, twin peaks.

The bar they sometimes went to in Roseanne always looked pretty good.
The Lobo!

I don't remember that at all!

regal beagle = white wine and tunafish sandwiches

The Bait Shop is hilarious. I think they probably hung out at the unnamed diner on the pier more often, though:

also missing - the bar in Ally McBeal and the Emerald City Bar

I vote Riff's for utility, the wide-ranging menu and of course the charming service

i can't remember a single thing about mad about you and i'm amazed that anyone else can.

i own the first-season dvd, but had to look it up

Cooper's had some sweet looking barmaids. Plus they had a sandwich called the Deacon.

But I'll go with the Regal Beagle for the Larry Dallas factor

I'd rather get a bullet in the head than go to Central Perk.

also missing - the bar in Ally McBeal

with Vonda Shepherd in residence and all the crepey men (Fish, Cage and those twins at least)? WORST TV HANGOUT EVER.

lol i forgot all about "vonda shepherd." HUGE star now of course.

peach pit v. peach pit after dark

i could do a British version of this but it's really just a short list of horrible looking pubs

and Byker Grove

I'd totally forgotten about Vonda Shepherd too. Did she ever had any other hits except the Ally McBeal theme song?

my real favorites aren't on the poll so i voted for the Maxx.

Did she ever had any other hits except the Ally McBeal theme song?

her cover of ODB's 'Got Your Money' is pretty slammin'

Queen Vic > Woolpack > Rovers Return > was there ever a pub in Brookside?

Al Swerengen's saloon

The Gem. Also a whorehouse, of course. In the interest of completeness I also add the Belle Union and Chez Amis.

Did the cop bars on "The Wire" have names? Orlando's surely deserves a mention, and Little Johnny's Diner, too.

Anyway Cheers wins this obviously but the diner in Twin Peaks always made me hungry.

does the bar/lounge on Girlfriends have a name? i love that place!

I'm still sad that the Mar-T-Cafe (filming location for the Double RR Diner) burned down.

This bar too...

As a Clevelander from the same neighborhood as Drew Carey, I had to go with the Warsaw.

in the show it's called Kavanagh's (based on a defunct bar called Kavanaugh's) and IRL the shooting location is a punk/metal club called The Sidebar.

Isn't Moe's modeled after Kelsey's from All in the Family? Always seemed like the same place, except with more purple, green & yellow.

Anyway - Regal Beagle, because of the Susan Anton and Marilu Henner types sitting a few tables away.

And Orlando's is The Ritz.

xpost

The business is pretty much the same.

The Boar's Nest from "Dukes of Hazzard"

"Roscoe said he'd let us off the hook from that ticket if we'd come up here and play you a little song."

Damn, Pleasant Plains. Why you gotta be so right?

Regal Beagle. Would say Shooters, but any attractive people there are quite possibly dangerous sociopaths.

Bada Bing! from Sopranos? Probably not a place you'd want to hang out... Actually I'm sure a large proportion of ILX would go there...

i could do a British version of this but it's really just a short list of horrible looking pubs

-- blueski, Friday, 11 April 2008 15:46 (3 hours ago) Link

the joint from 'Teachers' thx.

There are Owls at the RoadHouse.

you couldn't hang out at Bada Bing in the daytime tho, well maybe some people here could

DC: no Brookside pub, we never saw the interior of The Legion, just Ron Dixon waddling off to it - so by default, BAR BROOKIE.

The Regal Beagle will win this by virtue of being full of comedy hot-chick stewardesses with a pre-AIDS sexual-revolution mentality, which I guess is a perfectly fine and awesome reason to win.

That said, I kinda want to hang w/ Horseshoe at Joan's restaurant in Girlfriends. Also the Bronze, except that the constant demon attacks and lurking vampires are not something I much look for in a bar. There can't be anyone in that town who hasn't at some point been held hostage in the Bronze.

really shouldn't have left out moe's!!

Moe's is awful tho, despite the yakuza shenanigans going on out back

lots of crazy crap on the walls

The Kebab and Calculator

<i>was there ever a pub in Brookside?</i>

Barry Grant had a classy bar/nightclub on the parade. Can't remember what it was called though - possibly "Bev's", after Bev took it over?

THE MAXX is the ultimate hangout

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I dunno, I see Monk's Cafe, I'm pretty sure something's going to make me laugh soon. Can't say that for any of the others, so ...

Yeah would have voted for Moes if was on list, for obv reasons: so I'll go for the Maxx.

Mind you O'Gxorgnax bar (sp?) from Futurama also good.

The Peach Pit because maybe The Flaming Lips might be playing there that night.

"You know, I've never been a big fan of alternative music, but these guys rocked the house!"

Roxy this is the best poll ever but I think you forgot the Insomnia from bold and the beautiful

peach pit v. peach pit after dark

i was about to write this exact post.

5 days too late

the Regal Beagle came up last night in convo! I didn't realize it was so well known.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

the dot grill was robbed

tuomas: were you the sole shooters vote!?

Ernie's gym & Juice Bar: http://www.rangercentral.com/episodes/ep005/eppic14.jpg

The pizza place on Daria seemed like it best captured the virtues of a good real-life hangout. There's no pretense that it's an actually cool place or that bands play there or even that the pizza's any good - it's just some place that they can go and be at that's not their houses.

Crazy TV memorabilia auction, including the bar from Cheers, the living room set from All in the Family and more
