Oh, well in that vein, if you’re ever in Japan you might want to check out the Chatsubo. You might also inquire about The Western World, but you kind of have to have the right connections to get in (or even find it!) and frankly it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Sams Bar in * Casablanca*
Do you mean Rick’s Cafe Americain? Because Sam didn’t own a bar. And Rick’s was mentioned upthread.
But in that vein, there’s La Belle Aurore, a charming little place in Paris whose owner shut it down and fled when the Germans occupied in World War II.

Well, let’s see - I’ve been a wedding in this place called Brigadoon that might as well have been in a bar.
Then there’s that place where everybody knows your name. ETA: Which has now changed its name so more people can find it.
The House of Blue Lights, Asleep at the Wheel
the Brick from Northern Exposure is a real bar sort of. on the outside it looks just like the tv show, on the inside its totally different.
You might be interested to know that Rose’s Cantina did exist at one time. It was a beer bar, owned at least in part by Marty Robbins, that was on the outskirts of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I think the sign is still there, though if it is, it has been painted over.
For those of you who remember the 50s, there was also Hernando’s Hideaway (where you had to knock three times so the bouncer would know that you were sent by Joe) and The Golden Fingerbowl.
Ole!
I wish there was a place where everyones troubles are all the same. A place where everybody knows my name.
There’s always Archie Bunker’s Place.
What about the bar in Dark Angel. Was its name “Crash?”
And what was the name of the bar Ally McBeal and her friends used to wind up every day?
Geez, this is like a disease. I can’t stop.
Peter Gunn used to end up almost every one of his TV shows in a bar called “Mother’s” It played the coolest jazz in town.
Ah, my friend, not quite!
So you can’t remember it either? Nuts.
If we’re including tv, I wish I could visit “Frank’s Place”.

Jimmy Buffett has taken me to:
The Krystal - “The Great Filling Station Holdup”
I always thought it was referring to the fast food restaurant with the little burgers. In the song he’s sitting in “some [unnamed] honkey tonk” after serving time (“It cost me two good years”) for the hold up. But he was arrested drunk at Krystal, just like countless thousands of Americans every year.
From the OP, the Jug was and is a real bar on Jacksonville’s westside, although there is some dispute about which. It’s either at San Juan and US 17 (currently a topless bar), a bar on Edgewood Avenue somewhere around the Murray Hill library, or it’s near Normandy Mall.
I’ve been seen in both
The Titty twister
and
The Side Track Tap
albeit not on the same night
