Somehow I have been very fascinated with places on TV. They seem to have the prettiest clothes, houses, cafes and of course, bars. TV has given birth to some of the most iconic bars, and turns out a lot of them exist in reality too. Here are the coolest bars from TV that you can visit. Only if you have the money and visa, of course.
The Tavern – Good Will Hunting
Apart from the incredibly good looking star cast, another thing that won my heart over in the movie Goodwill Hunting was the Tavern – a bar where the gang hung out. Woody’s L Street Tavern in Boston was home to these bar scenes and is still the same. despite the many years since the movie.
Kavanagh’s Irish Pub – The Wire
We are ardent fans of the unique and intriguing series by HBO, The Wire, and we were thrilled to know that Kavanagh’s Irish Pub existed in real life too. Apparently, it’s filled with advocates and officials these days. I am not surprised.
