It looked like this on the way in. I can't remember what it looked like on the way out.

Do you know this place? In '88 we were passing through Thermopolis, WY. in the evening and stayed at "The Round Top Motel". It was right next to a hill (Round Top?) where there might have been an airport up there. There was an empty big restaurant and we had a fantastic dinner. The cook's wife was running the bar but had to leave. So the cook made our drinks. He made the stiffest drinks on earth short of being straight whiskey. I woke up in our little log cabin, my brain a third larger than my scull, and watched Gene Autry westerns on TV until I could get up. Except for that part, it was pretty fun.Best....Mint Bar in Sheridan Wyo

Maybe it was the one with $1 Shiner on tap and a $9.99 ribeye and fries.
If anyone knows where that is, please let me know.

Well, I've never been to one...
I haven't frequented bars for many years(decades?). But when this question comes up, I think of two that I loved to go to in the late 70s...The Moose Jaw in Frisco, CO and the Snake River Saloon in Keystone.. Both had very cold beer and great food.
I'm with gamecock but I couldn't remember the name. neat place in a neat town. lee
It has got to be the Flori-Bama for me. I went there in the mid 90's and it was a blast. It sat right on the FLorida/Alabama state line on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.

The bar that gets my Hall of Shame award is The Rolling Tin near the Currituck Sound, NC. Our fishing club was camped on Knotts Island for the week and we'd stop there for some beer a few times. It was a Quonset hut. The locals were really friendly and one night we left at closing hour for the 10 minute drive to camp. The locals were all drunk as loons hanging out of pick up trucks, throwing beer cans, squealing wheels out of the parking lot, etc. but 1 mile down the road a state cop pulls us over. He arrests our friend for DUI. We follow the cop to the municipal building and guess who is the Justice of the Peace? The bar tender at The Rolling Tin. It was a set up. Thanks, NC. We never went back.

I stopped going to bars once I met my girlfriend over 2 years ago (I'm in my mid 20s now). I do enjoy going to Prospector's in NJ. I saw a lot of country singers in, what I consider, a small venue before they got even more famous.
Before I met my girlfriend, my favorite bar was a neighborhood hole in the wall. Philly has A LOT of bars. I preferred going on nights that weren't busy, and one of my friends was bartending. I liked having a few beers, loading up the jukebox with music I enjoyed, and having a few laughs with my friends. I was never into the "club" scene.

All hold many special memories and many many hangovers!

Not the best, but possibly the most memorable bar I've ever been in (for the bar itself, not for what went on there) was the bar at the town of Mine #5 in northwestern PA.
Obviously, the place was built around a mine, now long closed and probably doesn't exist. The main building in town was a large (4 story ?) clap board building that held the company store, restaraunt, bar, rooms and I do believe house of ill repute. As near as I could tell at the time, the bar was the only part still being used.
The bar itself was long enough to hold an entire shift of miners and I still haven't seen one to equal it. If it hasn't rotted or burned, it'd be worth a lot of money.
The only way I got in there was a college professor wanted to show it to me. One drink, a look around and we left.

Randy's Rodeo in San Antonio. The place was a converted bowling alley with a huge dance floor. Often had big name country music stars playing there.
Of course that was back in the early 70s. I don't think its there anymore.

The Spotted Horse Bar in Spotted Horse, WY. Because the beer is the coldest right when you need it the most.

There's a Saloon across the street from the Courthouse in Colorado Springs that has been in in operation for over 100 years. I've been once with my wife.
There was a bar in Benson Nebraska called Vic's Well that my grand parents went to every Saturday as far back as I can remember. I twas all older people and I loved to sit in there on Saturdays with them and drink "Roy Rogers(?)"

Depends on how you define best.
But I got to say that Jason's in Windsor Ontario had the best talent I've seen in a bar.
