There's a speakeasy in the basement of the Reiger Hotel in Kansas City, MO. It's called Manifesto and probably my favorite place. I've been to a lot of other cool places too, but this one stands out.
Whats the best bar/saloon you've been in?

Hussong's Cantina, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Established 1892.
Direct quote 1971: "IDs?? Yoo doan need no steenking IDs, gringo. Cervezas para todos."
It looked like this on the way in. I can't remember what it looked like on the way out.
Been there in the 70s. Pretty civillized compared to some of Tang and white liquor bars.
I'm still looking for it.

Lips that touch booze and wine will never touch these lips of mine.
Back in the day, I was drunk in 41 states and 8 or 9 countries in northern Europe. 5-star to no-star. Not the best but the "most interesting" was "Club Paradiso" in Amsterdam. An old church with "hidey spots" everywhere for "activities." Sometimes I can't believe I lived to tell. Joe

keith44spl: I have to agree with you that Bryan's Place in Rozet, Wyoming is the worst.
As for the Mint Bar in Sheridan, whenever I go in there I am constantly amazed at the size of that rattlesnake hide on a board above the bar. The buttons on that thing are as big around and as long as my size 12 foot.

All of them !!!!!
It would be easier to name.....
It would be easier to name the WORST places I've been.
In my early days there was a local bar/pizza etc. called Dino's that I always had a great time in. No fights. They would hire solo acts to sit on a small stage, usually guitar and I heard a lot of good music there. It was suspected the place had mafia ties and they probably did.

Anchorage Alaska , in the summer of '88 we visited some friends just outside of T-bird Falls. Down by the train depot there was an old bar that had been sinking because of the permafrost. You had to go down a set of stairs to get inside the place. It was an old log cabin, it had worn smooth tree stumps for bar stools. Cardboard on the bathroom walls and a dirt floor. For decoration it had women's brasiers and drawers autographed and dated, hanging on the walls. Some of them had dates back into the forties. I've been in quite a few but this one was the most unique !!!

Here's another vote for the Mint Bar in Sheridan, WY...my home town!

That would be my choice, too.
Here's a picture taken (by me) a few years ago in their gentlemen's handicapped bathroom (edited for good taste).
I'm still wondering whether its purpose was to cheer us old farts up or to make us drown our hopelessness in more of their excellent house whiskey, a very interesting 100% wheat mash whiskey.

Back around 1979 to '81 or so, I had a lot of good times and listened to a lot of good music at a little place called the Duck's Breath Saloon in Warner Robins, Georgia. The band Stillwater played there quite often and Sebie Lacey, later their lead singer, tended bar. Once in while, some of the guys from Molly Hatchet would emerge from the crowd and get up on stage and blast out some tunes. Good times.
tapper007, speaking of Myrtle Beach, you reminded me of Ocean Annie's at Sands Ocean Club. On the beach, live music, I don't see how it could be better.
