TV is a special place. When we watch television, we essentially let our minds escape into the world of the show were watching, whether its the mean streets of New York in NYPD Blue, or the mystical island from Lost, we join in the adventure each and every week to see what new and exciting adventure awaits. Sometimes though, the simplest escape is one were all familiar with: the local bar. While some may prefer a warm coffee shop like Central Perk, bars just seem to be a bit more exciting. Maybe thats because the people inhabiting these settings are in many ways letting loose, and maybe it's because drunk people are always worth a laugh. So, where is the best place to enjoy a beverage in TV land? Allow me to be your guide as we take a look at five of the best bar hangouts in television history.
5. The Bronze Buffy the Vampire Slayer
If its racing hormones and demon activity youre in search of, The Bronze is the best place to find it this side of the Hellmouth. Buffy and her gang of Scoobies regularly haunt the underage club, and its oddly a popular place to be for a joint hidden down a dark alley; especially in a spot where several mysterious disappearances have occurred. Perhaps it all adds to the thrill factor for all of Sunnydales bravest partygoers? In any case, theres rarely a dull moment around this hangout, especially when a hungry vampire decides to feast on a young (and possibly drunk?) patron making their way home. After a night of listening to one of the hottest Indy bands of the late-90s, definitely think twice about traveling home alone.
