Description: The Saddle Rack originally opened on August 13, 1976 as San Jose's only authentic country roadhouse. The Rack, as locals called it, quickly became known for country music, strong drinks, line-dancing, and Tex-Mex cuisine, which turned out to be a winning combination. This quirky joint's Southern-style hospitality was what kept locals coming back, but once they began booking live music, it became a premier country music nightspot that pulled people in from all over the Bay Area and beyond. Sitting on six and a half prime acres, the owner received an offer he couldn't refuse, and sold the property, leading to its closure in 2001. The Rack would return in 2003, reopening in an 18,000-square-foot former hot tub store in Fremont.
Description: Founded by former slave and acclaimed moonshiner, Willie 'Moonshine' Washington in 1948, Moonshine Willie's was a popular watering hole in Louisville, Kentucky for decades. This hole in the wall was steeped in history, but not just for its extensive selection of Kentucky bourbon, but for the traditional Southern cuisine that came out of their kitchen. Moonshine Willie's small corner stage also played host to countless musicians ranging from bluegrass and country to traditional blues. While Willie had allegedly given up moon shining upon opening his tavern, in the early days it is said that regulars could order themselves a glass of his white lightning on the down low.

Description: In 1873, after the Civil War, German immigrant August Goebel, Sr. founded A. Goebel & Co., and by the 1880s, Goebel had become Detroit's third-largest brewery. Billed as a 'light lager,' their beer was golden in color, and was noticeably drier than most everyday beers of the era. The beer was a local favorite from the brewery's inception, but grew in popularity by word of mouth beyond Michigan. Seeing opportunity in out of state bars and restaurants placing orders, Goebel rebranded their signature brew as 'Gold Label' in 1940, with a national ad campaign leading to regular availability in many states throughout the '40s and '50s. Goebel was sold to a brewery conglomerate in 1964, which started a decline from top shelf to bottom shelf brew.

Description: Fort Lauderdale's The Button was owned by Gregg Newell, known locally simply as “Crazy Greg,” was there every night sporting his signature Hawaiian shirt and kookie propeller hat since its opening in 1970. Attached to a cheap hotel, this legendary spring break party spot was so wild, it was actually more than the city could handle at times. The Button hosted wet t-shirt, French kissing, and bikini contests, many of which resulted in fines and charges of promoting “lewd and lascivious” activity by the state as usually pushed the boundaries of both common decency and the law. The bar also routinely ran afoul of occupancy limits, a side effect of its extreme popularity. The Button closed in 1987 after mounting issues with the city.
Description: When you begrudgingly take a lunch meeting with a demon, you may as well make it somewhere with good food. That was the case in Episode season 6, episode 8 of Supernatural, ‘All Dogs Go to Heaven,’ which aired November 12, 2010. The boys met Crowley at Fat Mack’s Rib Shack in Raleigh, North Carolina to discuss a job, which was the first appearance of this fictional barbecue joint. Fat Mack’s would show up again in single episodes of both season 7 and season 8.
Description: The naming of Deno’s 6 & 85 truck stop undoubtedly referred to the old two-lane highways this truck stop once served when it was built in 1947, which made it the oldest truck stop in the state. Located in Commerce, Colorado, just outside of Denver, the 6 & 85 wasn't a modern truck stop by any means and rather very old school. There weren't banks of diesel fuel pumps or even a mechanic on site - just a diner-style restaurant and separate bar surrounded by plenty of truck parking. Whether truckers were stopping off to grab a bite before hitting the road again or going to tie one on in the bar before sleeping it off in their rig, Deno’s was a go-to spot for truck drivers for decades, remaining popular right up until their closure in 2017.
Description: Lacey, Washington, was originally called Woodland after settlers Isaac and Catherine Wood, who claimed land there in 1853. When the railroad came through in 1891, residents decided it was time to apply for a post office. The request was denied because there was already a town called Woodland on the Columbia River. They decided to call the city Lacey and got a post office, though the city of wasn't officially incorporated until 1966. One year later, The Loose Caboose Tavern opened in Lacey, and quickly became a popular watering hole for the locals, many of which commuted to Olympia, Fort Lewis, and to some extent, Tacoma, for work, but came how every night to tie one on at their favorite tavern,

Description: We're not sure if BJ Whistler is just an unfortunate name or a euphemism, but whatever the case, BJ Whistler's Tavern was a popular watering hole in Maryland's Deep Creek Lake region. Sitting lakeside off of Garrett Highway in the town of Oakland, BJ Whistler's was in operation for three decades before the owners decided to retire and shut the tavern down, leaving locals and tourists alike with a hole in their heart.
Description: It was at the end of 1957 when Seattle finally got its own dedicated jazz club when Pete's Poop Deck opened their doors. Having taken up residence in a former tavern in Pioneer Square on what was then known as Skid Road – named for the greased logs that were laid to shoot timber off First Hill to Seattle’s waterfront mills – Pete's Poop Deck was the place to be for enthusiasts of modern jazz. This low-fi establishment with its dim lighting and apple crate seating quickly grew in popularity and was THE place to take in some jazz music. From local musicians to national touring acts, Pete's Poop Deck was open nightly and promised "carefully calculated confusion," something they delivered on throughout the '60s.
Description: Walter Schneider and his partner B.M. Alexander were pioneers West Hollywood, opening their successful bar, The Gallery Room, in 1962, and also ran the hot club of the day, Up Disco. In the late '70s, Schneider and Alexander decided they’d like to live in Venice, and a friend found them a prime location on Abbot Kinney Boulevard to open a new gay bar at the beach. Opening their doors in 1979 under the name Roosterfish, the bar quickly became a gay hot spot on the westside. Roosterfish became a neighborhood favorite, and operated for decades until finally closing up shop in 2016.
