Esquire’s Best Bars in America 2009

Jay Brooks

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.

  1. Brewer’s Art, Baltimore, Maryland (though a brewpub)
  2. Toronado, San Francisco, California
  3. Beachcomber, Wellfleet, Massachusetts
  4. Clyde Common, Portland, Oregon
  5. Charlie’s Kitchen, Cambridge, Massachusetts
  6. Zeitgeist, San Francisco, California
  7. Ginny’s Little Longhorn, Austin, Texas

Here are the best new bars added to their database this year, apparently listed geographically from west to east.

  1. Horse Brass Pub, Portland Oregon
  2. Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco, California
  3. Alembic, San Francisco, California
  4. The Varnish, at Cole’s French Dip, Los Angeles, California
  5. The Buffet, Tucson, Arizona
  6. Arnaud’s French 75 Bar, New Orleans, Louisiana
  7. Harry’s Corner, New Orleans, Louisiana
  8. Sheffald’s, Chicago, Illinois
  9. Helen Back Café, Fort Walton Beach, Florida
  10. Clover Club, Brooklyn, New York
  11. Radegast Hall & Biergarten, Brooklyn, New York
  12. Drink, Boston, Massachusetts
  13. 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.
