Franklin 33 Lucca

Franklin 33 sits on Via S. Giorgio in the historic centre of Lucca, operating as a cocktail bar in a city where wine and aperitivo culture have traditionally dominated the drinking scene.

On Gratiot Avenue in Detroit's lower east side, Fred's occupies a position in the city's emerging cocktail scene that sits closer to the neighborhood-rooted, technically curious end of the spectrum than the polished downtown hotel bar.

Portland, United States

Greensboro, United States

Freeman's Grub & Pub

Freeman's Grub & Pub occupies a Spring Garden Street address that places it squarely in Greensboro's university-adjacent dining corridor, where neighborhood regulars and casual visitors overlap. The format suggests a pub-style operation built for repeat visits rather than occasions, with food and drink positioned for everyday utility rather than special-event pricing.

Seattle, United States

Frelard Tamales

Frelard Tamales operates out of a compact address on N 36th Street in Seattle's Fremont-Ballard corridor, serving a format that treats the tamale as a serious culinary object rather than a sideline item.

Seattle, United States

New Orleans, United States

Frenchmen St

Frenchmen Street is New Orleans' most concentrated live music corridor, where the ritual of a night out unfolds block by block across jazz clubs, brass band stages, and late-night bars. The street operates on its own schedule, peaking well after midnight, and rewards those who treat it as a slow circuit rather than a destination. It sits in the Faubourg Marigny, just beyond the French Quarter's tourist edge.

New Orleans, United States

Philadelphia, United States

Leeds, United Kingdom

Friends of Ham

Friends of Ham at 4-8 New Station St is Leeds's most serious charcuterie and craft beer bar, with a back bar that earns repeat visits on its own terms.

Leeds, United Kingdom

Kansas City, United States

Friends Sushi & Bento Place

A neighborhood sushi and bento spot on Kansas City's restaurant-dense 39th Street corridor, Friends Sushi & Bento Place draws a local following for accessible Japanese formats in a part of town that runs from casual to polished without much in between.

Frisco, United States

Kyiv, Ukraine

Frisson

On Andriivsky Descent, Kyiv's most storied street for galleries and independent venues, Frisson occupies a position that rewards the kind of drinker who arrives with time rather than a checklist.

Kyiv, Ukraine

New Orleans, United States

Fritzel's European Jazz Pub

On Bourbon Street's most trafficked stretch, Fritzel's European Jazz Pub occupies a different register than the surrounding noise-and-neon circuit. The room runs on live jazz delivered nightly to a crowd that ranges from serious listeners to walk-in tourists, positioning it as one of the French Quarter's more durable venues for music alongside a drink. It is a reliable anchor point for anyone mapping New Orleans by its music rooms rather than its cocktail bars.

New Orleans, United States

Salt Lake City, United States

From Scratch

From Scratch sits on Gallivan Avenue in downtown Salt Lake City, operating in a scene where the back bar carries more editorial weight than the menu.

Front Street Taproom

Front Street Taproom occupies 614 Main Ave in the heart of Fargo's downtown drinking corridor, where craft beer culture and a taproom format have taken firm hold over the past decade.

Fargo, United States

Mesa, United States

Frutilandia Country Club Dr.

A fruit-forward spot on Country Club Drive in Mesa's downtown corridor, Frutilandia occupies the kind of neighbourhood role that chain-heavy suburban dining rarely leaves room for.

Richmond, Canada

Seoul, South Korea

Fuglen Seoul

Fuglen Seoul occupies a corner of Mapo-gu's Mangwon-dong district, carrying the Oslo-born coffee brand's stripped-back Nordic aesthetic into one of Seoul's most coffee-literate neighbourhoods. The space functions as a daytime café and evening cocktail bar, a format the Fuglen network has maintained across its Tokyo and Oslo outposts. For milestone occasions, the low-key setting and precise drink program offer an alternative to Seoul's more theatrical bar scene.

Seoul, South Korea

San Jose, United States

Fuji

Fuji occupies a downtown San Jose address on West Santa Clara Street, positioning it inside the city's compact but growing bar corridor.

Check current hours and booking directly before visiting.

San Jose, United States

Austin, United States

Fukumoto

Fukumoto on Medina Street operates at the intersection of Japanese precision and serious spirits curation, placing it among Austin's more deliberate bar programs.

Austin, United States

Detroit, United States

Full Measure Brewing Co.

Full Measure Brewing Co. occupies a corner of Detroit's Orleans Street corridor, where the city's industrial brewing heritage meets a contemporary pub food sensibility.

For Detroit visitors working through the city's drink scene, it sits alongside Atwater and Six Spoke in the craft brewery cohort.

Detroit, United States

Amarillo, United States

Fun Noodle Bar Amarillo

Fun Noodle Bar on South Georgia Street sits within Amarillo's casual dining corridor, where the question of what to drink alongside a bowl of noodles is rarely asked with much seriousness. That gap is worth examining.

Amarillo, United States

Copenhagen, Denmark

Funchs Vinstue

A long-established wine bar on Nørre Farimagsgade, Funchs Vinstue occupies a particular place in Copenhagen's drinking culture: the kind of room where afternoon glasses and evening bottles follow different rhythms but share the same unhurried logic.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Seattle, United States

Funhouse

Funhouse sits on Eastlake Avenue East in Seattle, a stretch that bridges Capitol Hill's density with the quieter residential grades above Lake Union. The bar occupies a position in Seattle's mid-tier drinking scene where neighbourhood character shapes the experience as much as what's in the glass. For visitors orienting around the city's more celebrated cocktail addresses, Funhouse offers a counterpoint worth understanding on its own terms.

Seattle, United States

Syracuse, United States

Funk 'n Waffles

Funk 'n Waffles occupies a well-worn corner of Syracuse's South Clinton Street arts corridor, where live music and an all-day kitchen blur the line between bar, venue, and neighborhood institution. The format sits closer to a roots-music roadhouse than a conventional restaurant, drawing a cross-section of Syracuse University students, local regulars, and touring act fans. It is one of the more discussed casual destinations in the city's downtown grid.

Syracuse, United States

Oakland Park, United States

Funky Buddha Brewery

Funky Buddha Brewery operates out of Oakland Park, Florida, positioning itself inside South Florida's expanding craft beer scene rather than the bar-forward cocktail culture that defines much of the region. The brewery format places it in a distinct tier from its Fort Lauderdale neighbors, drawing visitors who track American craft production with the same attention most drinkers reserve for spirits programs. A useful reference point for anyone mapping the area's drinking options beyond the cocktail room.

Oakland Park, United States

Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Hamtramck, United States

Fо̄wling Warehouse Detroit

Fōwling Warehouse Detroit occupies a cavernous industrial space at 3901 Christopher St in Hamtramck, combining the kinetic energy of a Detroit bar-meets-bowling-alley hybrid with a drinks program that sits comfortably in the city's working-class bar tradition.

Hamtramck, United States

Fort Lauderdale, United States

G&B Oyster Bar

G&B Oyster Bar on Seabreeze Boulevard plants itself in Fort Lauderdale's coastal dining corridor, where proximity to Atlantic waters shapes what ends up on the plate.

Fort Lauderdale, United States

Hollywood, United States

G7 Rooftop

G7 Rooftop sits above South State Road 7 in Hollywood, Florida, bringing an open-air drinking and dining format to a stretch of Broward County that tends toward ground-level neighborhood bars. The refined position shifts the context: what reads as a local bar strip from street level becomes a different proposition once you're looking across the rooftops. Details on the current drinks programme and food offering are best confirmed directly with the venue.

Hollywood, United States

Portland, United States

Gabbiano's

On a quiet stretch of NE 30th Avenue, Gabbiano's occupies a particular niche in Portland's neighborhood bar circuit: the kind of place where craft behind the bar is taken seriously without the self-conscious theatre that accompanies it elsewhere in the city. The address alone — deep in Concordia — signals something deliberate about its position outside the downtown cocktail corridor.

Portland, United States

Denver, United States

Gaetano's

Gaetano's on Tejon Street occupies the older, neighborhood-Italian stratum of Denver dining that predates the city's current cocktail boom — a room where the bar program and the food still answer to each other. Located in the LoHi corridor, it draws regulars who value the continuity of the space as much as what arrives at the table. The address at 3760 Tejon St places it within walking distance of Denver's more recent cocktail destinations.

Denver, United States

Atlanta, United States

Gaja Korean Bar

Gaja Korean Bar sits on Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta's East Atlanta Village, where Korean drinking culture meets the neighborhood's long-running appetite for bars that operate outside the mainstream.

Atlanta, United States

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Galeto Sat's Botafogo

A Botafogo address that anchors itself in Rio's unpretentious neighbourhood bar tradition, Galeto Sat's sits on Rua Real Grandeza where the city's middle-class drinking culture has long felt more honest than the polished rooftop circuit.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Guadalajara, Mexico

Galgo Speakeasy Bar

Galgo Speakeasy Bar occupies a Providencia address on Av Pablo Neruda in Guadalajara, operating within the city's growing appetite for format-driven cocktail programming.

Guadalajara, Mexico

Part of the Vik Hotels collection, the property sits in Milan's upper tier of design-led boutique addresses, where art, architecture, and hospitality are treated as a single discipline rather than separate concerns.

Milan, Italy

Phoenix, United States

Gallo Blanco

Gallo Blanco occupies a distinct position in Phoenix's Roosevelt Row drinking scene, drawing a crowd that wants mezcal-forward cocktails and Mexican-inflected bar food in a setting that feels closer to a Guadalajara cantina than a downtown hotel bar.

Phoenix, United States

Frisco, United States

Gallo Nero Frisco

Gallo Nero Frisco occupies a Legacy Drive address in the heart of Frisco's dining corridor, operating as an Italian-inflected bar concept where the back bar depth and bottle curation do the heavy lifting.

Frisco, United States

Pompano Beach, United States

Galuppi's

A Federal Highway fixture in Pompano Beach, Galuppi's has built its reputation as a genuine neighbourhood gathering place rather than a destination venue. Regulars return for the familiar rhythms of a well-worn local bar — the kind of spot where the room has its own social logic and the drinks arrive without a long explanation. It sits comfortably in Pompano Beach's mid-tier bar scene, a few degrees removed from the area's waterfront tourist circuit.

Pompano Beach, United States

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Gamma Transport Division

Gamma Transport Division occupies a quietly serious position in Edinburgh's cocktail scene, operating from Comely Bank Row in Stockbridge with the kind of programme-first focus that rewards curiosity over showmanship.

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Spokane, United States

Gander and Ryegrass

Gander and Ryegrass occupies a corner of downtown Spokane where the cocktail programme drives the conversation. Located at 404 W Main Ave, it sits within a walkable block of the city's most active dining stretch, making it a natural anchor for an evening that moves between bars and restaurants.

Spokane, United States

Tampa, United States

GANGCHU

GANGCHU sits on North Nebraska Avenue in Tampa's Seminole Heights corridor, a stretch that has absorbed a decade of independent dining energy without losing its neighborhood grain.

Tampa, United States

Philadelphia, United States

Garage Passyunk

On South Passyunk Avenue, where Philadelphia's bar culture runs dense and opinionated, Garage Passyunk occupies a stretch that rewards repeat visits. The name signals the aesthetic before you walk in: industrial-leaning, unpretentious, the kind of room where the drinks do the talking. It fits the avenue's tradition of neighborhood bars that punch well above their category.

Philadelphia, United States

Los Angeles, United States

Garçons de Café

Garçons de Café occupies a ground-floor unit on South Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles, a stretch that has quietly become one of the city's more concentrated corridors for serious cocktail programs.

Los Angeles, United States

Calvia, Spain

Garden Bar

Garden Bar sits in Calvia with a program built around cocktails and Spanish wines, occupying the quieter, more considered end of the island's bar scene.

Calvia, Spain

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Garito Cafe

Garito Cafe occupies a waterfront position in Palma's Darsena de Ca'n Barbara, a marina-edge address that draws a crowd as interested in the setting as in what's in the glass. The bar sits within Palma's broader shift toward destination drinking spots that compete on atmosphere and cocktail craft rather than volume. An evening here tracks the harbour lights while the programme moves from aperitivo hour through late-night.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Garland, United States

Garland Seafood & Bar

Garland Seafood & Bar at 1311 Marketplace Drive brings a seafood-focused menu to a city better known for Texas smokehouse and craft beer. Positioned within a busy commercial corridor, it represents a different kind of dining option for the area — one where sourcing and preparation technique carry the editorial interest rather than regional barbecue tradition.

Garland, United States

Cincinnati, United States

Gaslight Bar and Grill

A Clifton neighbourhood fixture on Ludlow Avenue, Gaslight Bar and Grill occupies a stretch of Cincinnati where independent bars run deeper than their menus suggest. The back bar leans into spirits curation over speed pours, making it a reference point for the kind of unhurried drinking that Clifton has always done better than most of the city's higher-profile districts.

Cincinnati, United States

Fayetteville, United States

Gaston Brewing Restaurant

Gaston Brewing Restaurant occupies a spot on Hay Street at the center of downtown Fayetteville's slow but steady revival, serving craft beer alongside a food program that gives locals a reason to stay in the neighborhood rather than drive out. It functions as a working watering hole as much as a dining room, anchoring a stretch that has welcomed new independents over the past decade.

Fayetteville, United States

Madison, United States

Gates & Brovi

Gates & Brovi occupies a Monroe Street address on Madison's near-west side, where the bar scene runs closer to neighborhood institution than downtown spectacle. The cocktail program positions it within a cohort of technically-minded Wisconsin bars that reward repeat visits over first-impression splashor. For drinkers who find the State Street corridor too loud and too obvious, this is the more considered alternative.

Madison, United States

Cape Coral, United States

Gather

Gather occupies a suite-format space on Silver King Boulevard in Cape Coral, Florida — a city whose dining scene is built more on waterfront casual than on destination-caliber sit-down concepts. The restaurant's name signals a communal premise at a time when Southwest Florida is producing more locally-focused, gathering-oriented dining formats alongside its traditional seafood houses and Italian staples.

Cape Coral, United States

Brownsville, United States

Gazpachos Restaurant bar

A Brownsville restaurant-bar on Pablo Kisel Boulevard, Gazpachos sits within a city whose dining scene draws heavily from the Rio Grande Valley's cross-border culinary tradition.

Brownsville, United States

Boulder, United States

Gemini

Gemini sits on Pearl Street at the center of Boulder's social fabric, operating as the kind of neighborhood bar that holds a block together. The room draws locals more than tourists, with a format built around the kind of unhurried drinking that defines the better end of Colorado's front-range bar scene. It belongs in the same conversation as Boulder's most dependable gathering places.

Boulder, United States

Buffalo, United States

Gene McCarthy's Old First Ward Brewing Company

Gene McCarthy's Old First Ward Brewing Company occupies a corner of Buffalo's historic waterfront neighborhood that has been pouring pints for working-class regulars long before craft brewing became a national conversation. Rooted in the Old First Ward's Irish-American heritage, the brewery sits at the intersection of neighborhood tradition and the city's current craft beer resurgence — a place where local identity and the mechanics of modern brewing share the same tap handles.

Buffalo, United States

Atlanta, United States

Gene's

Gene's sits on Hosea L Williams Drive in Atlanta's Edgewood-Kirkwood corridor, a stretch that has quietly accumulated some of the city's more interesting bar and dining concepts over the past decade. The address alone places it in a neighbourhood conversation worth paying attention to, and what draws visitors is less spectacle than the kind of focused, deliberate drinking experience that Atlanta's east side has become known for.

Atlanta, United States

Chicago, United States

Gene's Sausage Shop and Delicatessen

On North Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square, Gene's Sausage Shop and Delicatessen occupies the kind of space that Chicago's German-immigrant commercial strip built over generations: a working deli and butcher counter that sells Central European sausages, imported provisions, and a rooftop beer garden that operates as one of the neighbourhood's more low-key warm-weather fixtures. It sits at the practical end of the food-and-drink spectrum, far from the reservation-only tasting-menu circuit, and functions as both a retail shop and a place to eat and drink on-site.

Chicago, United States

Los Angeles, United States

General Lee's

General Lee's occupies a slice of Chinatown's Gin Ling Way, functioning as one of Los Angeles's more quietly anchored neighbourhood bars. The address alone — a pedestrian alley that predates most of the city's cocktail scene — situates it within a specific kind of LA history that louder venues rarely inherit. For those who know the block, it reads less like a destination than a regular stop.

Los Angeles, United States

Milan, Italy

GINROSA

GINROSA sits on Piazza San Babila, where Milan's Quadrilatero shopping district meets historic centre. The bar occupies an address that points toward high-end retail territory—Montenapoleone is minutes away on foot—and draws a clientele that tends to reflect that catchment. With sparse public data, GINROSA remains an under-documented piece of the city's cocktail map.

Milan, Italy

Carlsbad, United States

GONZO!

GONZO! occupies a second-floor address in Carlsbad Village, positioning itself among the small cluster of independent operators that define the neighbourhood's dining identity. The name signals irreverence, and the Village Dr location places it steps from the coastal strip where Carlsbad's food scene has grown most deliberately over the past decade. For a read on where the room fits among its peers, see our full Carlsbad guide.

Carlsbad, United States

Durham, United States

GRUB Durham

At 1200 W Chapel Hill St, GRUB Durham sits in a stretch of Durham that has absorbed the city's shift from tobacco economy to food-forward neighbourhood identity.

Durham, United States

San Sebastián, Spain

GU San Sebastián

GU San Sebastián sits on Ijentea Kalea in the heart of Donostia's old town, a address that places it squarely within one of Europe's most concentrated bar and pintxos circuits. The venue operates within a city where the bar format has undergone genuine reinvention over the past decade, and GU reflects that broader shift toward drinks-led, considered programming over the traditional high-volume pintxos crawl.

San Sebastián, Spain

Richmond, United States

GWARbar

GWARbar on West Clay Street in Richmond's Arts District occupies a niche that most bars don't attempt: equal parts heavy metal shrine and serious cocktail program, built around the legacy of the Richmond-born band GWAR. The result is a bar that reads as theatrical spectacle on the surface and functions as a neighborhood anchor underneath — a combination that draws both the curious and the committed.

Richmond, United States
