I don't know about you, but when I am in my last hour of the 9 - 5 grind, all I can think about is taking that first sip of a damn good, ice cold alcoholic beverage. Depending on what kind of day it was depends on what kind of drink I will be indulging myself with. However, I'm incredibly picky, so the drink I do choose better be worth the long awaited five o'clock hour.
I have been to a lot of bars in my day, so I know a good cocktail when I taste one - leaving me in a situation that takes me to the same bar each time because I don't feel like spending money on a mediocre cocktail (not that it's a bad thing to have a 'usual spot', but it's nice to know I have somewhere else to go if I want to). Now, I am going to assume that I am not alone on this one, and there are people all around America that feel the same as I... Which brings me to Thrillist. Once again, Thrillist has taken on the pain staking duty of traveling North America to give us "The 21 Best Cocktail Bars in America". So, fellow 9 - 5ers, and travelers here is a list you will want to have in your back pocket, or hanging in your cube. Per usual, let us know if you go to any of the bars on the list, we always love hearing feedback. Cheers!
