A Booker’s Guide to Bar Hopping in the USA

Whether you’re embarking on a bar crawl while exploring a new city or you’re the type of tourist who comes armed with a laminated bar itinerary and Beer Bingo Cards, our guide will have something for every Booker.

Put-in-Bay in Ohio

The town of Put-in-Bay is one of Lake Erie’s most popular tourist destinations. A summer resort town since the early-18th century, Put-in-bay has many traditional taverns, lending the town a festive atmosphere. Bookers will have an easy route home at the end of the night by staying at the Anchor Inn Boutique Hotel, just three blocks from downtown Put-in-Bay.

West Chester in Pennsylvania

A buzzing university town, West Chester caters both to the student crowd and local residents with an eclectic mix of bars. These range from contemporary speakeasies to microbreweries selling everything from traditional wheat beer to mango and pumpkin brews. As none of the local taxi companies run through downtown West Chester, Bookers can take a short and sweet walk home by booking into The Hotel Warner.

Athens in Georgia

Frequently described as ‘one of the best drinking cities in the South,’ Friday and Saturday nights in Athens’ have an almost carnival atmosphere. As most of the town’s nightlife centers around the University of Georgia, Bookers can stay less than a 5-minute walk away at the Hotel Indigo Athens.

Hoboken in New Jersey

Frank Sinatra’s hometown has come a long way since the legendary singer lived there but one thing that remains consistent is that the residents of Hoboken know how to have a good time. Bookers can venture into the downtown district or be their own bartender for the night by booking into the Dharma Home Suites and taking a crate of something cool up to the sun deck.

Milwaukee in Wisconsin

Once one of the biggest beer producers in the world, Milwaukee retains the nickname of ‘Brew City’ and residents continue to spend more money per person on nightlife than any other major city in the USA. Some of the most popular bars are the long-established Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge, the Swingin Door (opened to celebrate Prohibition in 1933) and The Outsider Bar at the top of the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel.
