Wow! Two of the Best Bars in America are in NJ; Here’s Where
USA Today has put out its annual list of the best bars around the country, and two of them are right here in my home state of New Jersey. Keep reading to find out where they are.
I feel as if so many people make fun of New Jersey for no good reason. One of its nicknames is the "armpit of America." But, there are so many good qualities of the Garden State, including the best bars. Ha ha. Ok, maybe I'm not the best spokesperson for New Jersey. But bars are part of the fun social scene in New Jersey.
What kind of bar do you like? Do you like to know the bartenders by name, and they have your drink ready within minutes of you arriving? Do you like to talk to the other people sitting at the bar around you? Do you like live music so you don't have to talk to anyone? Do you like a local dive bar or a fancier cocktail lounge?
Two NJ bars made USA Today's list of the Best 29 Bars in America
No matter what kind of bar you prefer, some stand out for one reason or another. USA Today found the 29 best across the United States, and I was excited to see two in New Jersey made the list.
If you haven't been to these bars, you should put them on your bar bucket list.
