What this is
BarsAtlas is a free directory of bars in the United States, organised by state and city. Every listing has an address; most have a phone number, and where a business publishes its hours or services we show those too. Listings come from open data and from the businesses themselves, who can correct their card at any time — about the directory. Nothing on the lists is paid placement.
Pick a state above, or use the “near me” button to jump to the bars closest to you. City pages show the full list with a map; state pages collect smaller towns that have a single bar.

Common questions
What is a bar?
A bar is a place whose main business is serving alcoholic drinks, often with snacks or a menu. In the United States the word covers everything from a neighborhood tavern to a lounge or a bar and grill.
What is the difference between a bar and a lounge?
A bar is usually a casual place built around the counter and a lively room. A lounge leans toward comfortable seating and conversation, though many places blend both.
What is a dive bar?
A dive bar is a casual, unfussy neighborhood bar with simple decor and a loyal local crowd. The term is informal and often affectionate.
How old do I have to be to go to a bar?
Alcohol is sold to guests 21 and older in the United States, and many bars are 21+ only. Some bars with a kitchen allow minors at certain hours, so check the venue's age policy.
Do bars serve food?
Many do, from snacks to full meals, though kitchen hours are often shorter than bar hours. Check the bar's posted hours and menu before you go.
How do I get home safely after drinking?
Plan a sober driver, a taxi or a ride service before you go out. Decide on your ride before the first drink.
