Are you looking to grab a drink at one of the best bars in the country?
USA Today just released a list of the 27 best bars in America in 2024, selected by its network of food writers across the nation.
"These bars represent the best neighborhood taverns, the finest cocktail meccas, the coziest wine bars and the beachiest beach bars," USA Today said. "These bars are the places we love – a mix of old, new and in-between. They're places with stories to tell, places that should be on your bucket list when you travel and your favorites list where you live."
To compile the list, the project asked writers in the USA Today Network, which includes publications in more than 200 sites in 42 states, to nominate the best bars where they live. A team of editors and writers then narrowed down nearly 80 submissions to 27 bars.
The list doesn't rank the bars 1-27, but rather indicates that these are the best of the best in the nation:
