You might not know it, but preservation has a party side -- and it's on full display at legacy bars across the country. In our Historic Bars series, we belly up to the old bars that only locals usually know about and introduce their favorite haunts to all our readers.
Since June 2014, our virtual bar crawl has covered taverns and inns, speakeasies, tiki huts, sports bars, dive bars, bars with film or other pop-culture references, and more. Our ongoing bender even included the first-ever Big Tap: Historic Bars Tournament, ultimately crowning the Corner Club in Moscow, Idaho, as America's favorite historic bar for 2015.
