re: What is your favorite bar and why?

Favorite bars, in no particular order:

Flora-Bama, Gulf Shores, AL: Just consistently the best place to wind down with your boys in a carefree environment. Everyone there has an excellent time
Irby's Tavern, Atlanta, GA: Finally a sports bar in Buckhead that has a "hometown" feel to it. Now I can watch the Falcons, Braves, and Hawks disappoint me in the backdrop of a venue that's worthy of the occasion.
Atkins Park, Atlanta, GA: Great dive bar in Va Highlands. Always a great spot with surprisingly good bar food. Come at lunch, come at 1am. Always fun.
MJQ Concourse, Atlanta, GA: For when the night wants to go past 2AM
Erin Rose, New Orleans, LA: I can do without the Saints Shrine decor, but, the bar is a classic dive and that coffee liquor drink is amazing.
Ysabel, Los Angeles, CA: Hottest girls on the planet. Don't look elsewhere.
Big Foot West, Los Angeles, CA: Fun, casual bar with amazing bartenders who are your friends after one visit. Again, hot girls, but not the insta-model type typical of the LA area.
Mr. Purple (when I was younger), New York, NY: Hottest girls on the east coast. Bunch of other Finance bros, so, a good place to network early on while blacking out and take cuts at some otherworldly good looking women.

Edit for the "why"?
