today i went to one and it just didnt feel right. and i dont mean those crowded pumping beats bars i mean like those somewhat full, brick walls and tap beer and good music like rustic community almost pub like bars. today right in the middle of some good rock song they started blasting pop and lady gaga. its just not right
It all depends on what your definition of a "good bar" is. Most bars tend to focus on what the 'masses' appreciate, so they tend to be loud and brash.
Honestly, each bar has it's own design and feel which can change depending on the owner, the bar manager, or the bartender.
In my area, I appreciate a bar called "Rare Olde Times" which is owned by an immigrant from Ireland. The owner tries to give it an honest to goodness "Irish" feel. Not the cheezy stuff some places does, but actual things like a wall where military/emergency services patches are placed and such.
Another bar I go to is owned by a family from India. "The Curry House" is an Indian restaurant, but I've seen the bar change and develop over the years. It has grown leaps and bounds over the past few years, installing TV's and multiple receivers for sports, both National and International. One of he bar managers would find James Bond movies when it was slow, and that pulled another crowd. Go to the bar when a political debate or State of the Union is given, for all the TV's will be turned to that channel and all of the employees (many from India) will be watching it. Yeah, makes me realize how much in America we take the political process for granted.
When it comes to it, look for a bar that fits you. You will have to travel a bit, and try some of the hole-in-the-wall places. If they are big and advertise... then that bar is probably neither for me nor you.

You put money in the jukebox, the mechanical bull, or a pool table at your favorite drinking spot. Now you can put money in the breathalyzer machine to test your blood alcohol level after having a few alcoholic drinks. Many bars, pubs, clubs and entertainment venues that serve liquor are getting involved in alcohol safety by installing coin operated breathalyzers.
As drunk driving accidents and deaths continue to occur despite the ramifications of drunk driving laws, many drinking establishments are taking a more proactive approach to keeping their patrons safe on the road.
Although bartenders are trained to recognize when a patron has had too much to drink, an onsite breathalyzer supports their decision. When customers actually see their blood alcohol concentration (BAC), they are less likely to get into their car and drive.
A coin operated breathalyzer machine also helps bridge issues that blocked previously proposed drunk driving prevention efforts from gaining approval from establishments that serve alcohol. Advocates for alcohol prevention found it difficult to enact any measure that would restrict people from drinking, thus impacting a venue owner’s bottom line. They were also faced with opposition from civil right activists who raised issues of stifling personal freedom and individual rights.
A coin operated breathalyzer provides an agreeable medium by affording the owner of the establishment to earn additional revenue by promoting responsible drinking. It is a worthy compromise in presenting breathalyzers as an entertaining safety device.
Most fixed breathalyzers are equipped with fuel cell technology, which allows for highly accurate BAC test results. They are designed to give the user easy to follow audio and visual cues for proper operation, as well as visual and audio warnings based on the results. As a mouthpiece, breathalyzers mounted to a wall use a cylindrical straw dispensed by the device for the user to breathe into to begin the alcohol test. The breath test sensor calculates alcohol content within 10 seconds.
When it comes to customer appreciation, there’s no better way for owners of establishments serving alcohol to show it than to install a coin operated breathalyzer in their bar, pub, club, or other venue and encourage patrons to use it to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
