Esquire magazine, again this year makes their choices for the “The Best Bars in America 2009.” From reviewing past years, it appears the idea is for each year’s list to not duplicate previous choices. Here’s who made this year’s list as top rated.

Here are the best new bars added to their database this year, apparently listed geographically from west to east.
- Horse Brass Pub, Portland Oregon
- Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco, California
- Alembic, San Francisco, California
- The Varnish, at Cole’s French Dip, Los Angeles, California
- The Buffet, Tucson, Arizona
- Arnaud’s French 75 Bar, New Orleans, Louisiana
- Harry’s Corner, New Orleans, Louisiana
- Sheffald’s, Chicago, Illinois
- Helen Back Café, Fort Walton Beach, Florida
- Clover Club, Brooklyn, New York
- Radegast Hall & Biergarten, Brooklyn, New York
- Drink, Boston, Massachusetts
- Ocean Mist, Matunuck, Rhode Island
So after doing this list for several years now, here’s the complete list to date. I’ve had issues with this list before, but this year I’ll just share the list.
I’m still trying to figure this one out (and I live in Baltimore… and have visited The Brewer’s Art)
But hey, we’ll take it!
Sheffalds in Chicago is supposed to be Sheffield’s by the way. Not your mistake Jay, Esquire messed it up on their site. Hopefully an intern somewhere will catch it because it really is a good bar.
