Esquire best bars in america 2007

The 2007 list is out from Esquire. Anybody have any comments on the bars listed? Any personal stories about happenings at any of these bars.

The only bar on the list I had been to was the Replay Lounge in Lawrence Kansas. It was a surprise to see it on the list.

Clermont Lounge listed as the best in Georgia. Classic.

I think they got confused with the California list and thought they were doing a "best of downtown LA" list...

[NT!]

i have been to none of these

I think the problem with lists like these is that so much of what makes a bar a "good bar" is who you know who goes there, how well you know the bartenders, etc.

Also, I don't live in NYC so none of the NY bars applied to me. Bastards.

Yeah, I don't get the criteria. I can think of plenty of bars I'd rather go to in D.C. than the Hawk n' Dove. I mean, really, who wants to hang out with low-level Congressional staffers? With a few exceptions, that's a reason to avoid a bar, not go there.

In Maryland, however, Brewer's Art is a good time.

Yeah, this is like saying "Go to Smith Point, there are trust fund babies."

List looks pretty arbitrary. Kinda has to be for a subject so broad...and they all serve basically the same alcohol.
