Top 10 fictional TV bars.
I think they missed a few.



They run the gamut from happy to sad places, where characters can both celebrate personal victories and wallow in setbacks. Because that's what friends and alcohol are for.

1. Any list that doesn't include Quark's can't be taken seriously...

2. Frank's Place must have had a bar
a Seventh Ward New Orleans establishment that didn't would have closed even faster than the series was canceled. :(

3. I seem to remember....

...a small bar right in the dining area.

Shame they can't put that out or at least have
a special "rerun" night.

7. The bar on "All in the Family" was Kelcy's
It wasn't "Archie's Place" until he bought it. That was around the time Edith died and he adopted that wretched, bratty girl.

9. Going way...........back. The Long Branch Saloon. "Gunsmoke"
Half the show was in the bar. And that show ran for something like 75 years.



I watched the last season through the bars of my crib.



I AM NOT OLD!

11. The top UK TV soaps have a pub in them...
Coronation Street has the Rovers Return.
East Enders has the Queen Victoria.
Emmerdale (farm) has The Woolpack.

Even the Aussie soaps - Neighboursn and Home and Away had bars in them, though I don't remember their names off the top of my head.

18. Archie Bunker's place was #1???? huh?
that show was an awkward milking of the franchise after everyone had left the show. It was difficult to watch.

19. Not to mention that the bar was actually called "Kelcy's" for most of the series.
"Kelcy's" being the most famous bar? Maybe...sorta.
