Songs set entirely in bars

There’s also Tom Paxton’s Annie trilogy:

Has Annie Been in Tonight (Did Annie stop in for a beer/or was she into the gin?)
Annie’s Going To Sing Her Song (A drink for me, a drink for you, you’re going to need a drink or two)

When Annie Too Me Home (Late at night, somewhat tight/Freddie’s doused the neon light/That promised when it shown)

And it just occured to me that all three of the Annie songs are set in bars.

Nope - none since post #3

John Anderson’s “Straight Tequila Night,” which is sung by the bartender.

Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar,” which is actually ABOUT the bar.

That’s the first one that came to my mind.

Since you’ve already mentioned it, I’ll toss in “Polyester Bride” by Liz Phair.

How could I forget Alan Jackson’s “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere”???

And (arguably), Joe Nichols’ “Brokenheartsville.”

Jim Croce had Bad Bad Leroy Brown and You Don’t Mess Around With Jim. But the latter is a pool hall. Is that the same thing?

The Lumineers, “Classy Girls
Cowboy Junkies, “Where Are You Tonight?

Clink! Clink! Another Drink” - Spike Jones and His City Slickers, featuring Mel Blanc. The first one wearing a hat is Mel.

Okay then, “Cocktails for Two” by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

Edited title

Nearly all songs are set entirely in bars. :wink:

thanks Chronos

Two from Kris Kristofferson , both with “devil” in the title:

To Beat the Devil
The Silver Tongued Devil and I

As said above - Tom Waits talks about drinking a fair bit - but i think ‘I Hope That I don’t Fall In Love With You’ takes place entirely in a bar.

MiM

Toby Keith - As Good As I Once Was

Travis Tritt’s “Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof”

Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn. I love this one.

Winonah by Michael Nesmith is lamenting the life of a waitress who implements her wages directly in booze at the spot and virtually is set in a bar.

The Hags, ‘I think I’ll just stay here and drink’

Well, the two that immediately came to mind (“Piano Man” and “One for the Road”) were both mentioned above (one in the OP, even), I’ll have to come up with something else…

Hmm…
Umm…
Ah! “The Saint James Infirmary Blues” is entirely set within Old Joe’s barroom, where the narrator, Big Joe McKennedy, describes the death of his lady love in the title institution, and ruminates on life, death, and the universe.
