While it is easy to look online & find a decent list of places to eat & drink in any given city, far too many of them are either outdated or loaded with places that are not necessarily that great, but merely have a lot of marketing bucks behind them. However our recommendations below have been selected by our team as not only outstanding venues, but also places that we never fail to pop into while we are in town. We did our best to make it a mix of not only amazing craft cocktail bars, but also fun — and oftentimes budget friendly — locales that are best reflective of the city they are in. If your favorite bar is not on here, please don’t be upset, as this only a sampling of our favorite places & by no means exhaustive of each city.
