Do you like to travel? Who doesn’t? If you’re like me, the first thing you do when you plan a trip is start looking for some of the best hot spots to visit while in town. With so many contradicting search engine reviews out there to keep you guessing, who better to trust than Playboy Magazine. The editors over at playboy have put together for you a who’s who list of bars to check out entitled “After Midnight”. Not surprisingly, many of their picks are located in the “usual suspects” of major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. If none of these places ring a bell or better yet they do but you have yet to check them out, don’t feel bad neither have I and yet I still have had some amazingly interesting “after midnight” bar experiences. The list includes :

  • Atlanta: The Highlander
  • Boston: The Franklin
  • Chicago: The Green Mill
  • Dallas: Rio Room
  • Hollywood: Jumbos Clown Room
  • Las Vegas: Double Down Saloon
  • Memphis: Mollie Fontaine Lounge
  • Miami Beach: Mac’s Club Deuce
  • New Orleans: The Club Ms. Mae’s
  • New York City: Mister H
  • Portland, Ore.: Gold Dust Meridian
  • San Francisco: The Endup
  • Tampa: The Hub
  • Washington D.C.: Jimmy Valentine’s
As a former resident of Chicago (Born & Raised), it was a little disappointing to only see one bar on the list given the ridiculous night life the city has, but even I know that it would be impossible to create a list like this AND please everyone. Now as a resident of Central Florida I did appreciate seeing some Tampa love in there with the Hub. Do you have a favorite place you feel got snubbed? Let them know, or better yet let me know so I can check it out and agree/disagree with you. For the list as well as a bit of info on each establishment be sure to visit Playboy Online. Until next time, Class Dismissed.
