Letterkenny has Modeen’s. I think they’re up to Modeen’s 3, through various fires etc.
I don’t think so. Lou Mallory ran a restaurant, not a saloon. Sweeney’s place is the saloon you’re thinking about. It was up the street a ways.
Another real place in NYC is Smalls jazz club, which was portrayed as a fictional – and unprofitable – venue in the short-lived TV show The Village. I can’t imagine why owner Spike Wilner allowed the club to be used/fictionalized like that, but it always kind of low-key annoyed me.
Bones - “Founding Fathers” restaurant appears frequently. They almost never eat out anywhere else.
Not related to the OP, but there’s a bar in Old Pasadena called The Thirty Fiver, that I always read as the The Thirsty Fiver. Every damn time.
There was a bar in Virginia City, Nevada, on “Bonanza” called “The Bucket of Blood”. :eek:
Or Marshall’s favorites Minnesotan expatriate bar, the Walleye Saloon?
Other recurring HIMYM bars and restaurants include romantic restaurant Cafe L’amour, Chicago pizza parlor and health hazard Gazzola’s, brunch staple the Popover Pantry, and of course, strip club the Lusty Leopard (they have a buffet!).
I’ve been in that place.
There’s been several “Bucket of Blood” bars in many places. Boise had one, Portland had one with that nickname, the supposedly oldest one is in Cornwall.
Is that in the same place “Shenanigans” was in the 80’s?
Also, The Roadhouse, the bar & restaurant at The Great Northern, the Double R Diner, and Wallies [sic] Hideout. I can’t remember the name of the Canadian dive bar in Fire Walk With Me, or if it was even named.
I think Office Space’s Tchotchkie’s restaurant probably meets the spirit of the OP (place referenced as regularly visited by characters, and appears in multiple scenes)
The Tropical Diner in Schitt’s Creek.
I’m starting a re-watch-through of DC’s “Arrowverse” shows. I’m only in the second season of Arrow, but so far we’ve got Big Belly Burger and Verdant (Ollie’s nightclub). I know CC Jitters features in The Flash. I don’t remember there being a restaurant or the like in Supergirl.
