So are none of the Full Court Press bars on there?
I'd look, but I don't want to give them my page view.

If they were smart, they would have set this up as a listicle so people have to click 100 times to see every bar rather than putting them all on some ghetto PDF. They can't even do annoying clickbait properly!
Jeannies bottle doesnt belong on any top list. That bar sucked.
And i probably wouldnt put bar louie on there. Great open layout on a nice day, but i and everyone else that's been there has had fairly poor service.
In addition to the huge omissions of Bait Shop\Royal Mile, id say Bradleys in WDM should beat out some of these.

Wouldve liked to see them actually ranked. It just looks like they put almost every single bar in it except the ones mentioned.
Gramercy Tap? "Late-night menu"
I took my family there Saturday night after leaving the Food Festival downtown. Walked in at 8:00. Lights were pretty much off, 3-4 staff sitting at the bar (none too happy we came in) and not another soul in the place outside the kitchen
And that's a best of?
To be fair, food was pretty good.

Yeah...didn't open the link, but based on names listed here, several sound a lot like the bars that you see advertised in Cityview on a routine basis.
Cityview loves to rip on Juice for all their fluff pieces but articles like this one(even though a light topic) doesn't do a lot for their own street cred.

This might blow my "pay to play" theory out of the water...Carl's can't afford a paper towel dispenser in the men's room, let alone a marketing budget.
I take all of these lists with a grain (or block) of salt.
Also note that this is "100 Bars that they like", not "top 100". Take that for what it's worth :smile:

So I've gathered that El Bait Shop, Greenwood, and Royal Mile were left out.
I'm not going to dignify the morons by clicking on that link.
My Top 10 DSM bars (city limits only):
-Bait Shop/High Life (I'd count each if they didn't share a building)
-Cooney's
-Carl's
-Greenwood
-Locust Tap
-Royal Mile
-Alpine
-Wellman's (Ingersoll)
-Hessen Haus
-Shorty's

Fongs is on the list, and is owned by the same people who own El Bait Shop and Royal Mile.
