Iconic TV Bars and Restaurants You Can Visit in Real Life

The one thing that’s almost as important as the characters in any decent sitcom are the typical hangouts. Where do our protagonists meet to deal with what life has thrown at them? Usually this will involve a place that serves some food, coffee and alcohol, for obvious reasons, so they’ll end up sort of recapping the episode in their local bar of restaurant. The location becomes almost as immortal as the people in it.

But what if you wanted to visit some of these bars and restaurants? Well, in some cases, you can. Let’s have a looksie.

Twisters (Breaking Bad)

Los Pollos Hermanos isn’t a real thing, sadly, but the inside scenes were filmed entirely in Twisters in Albuquerque. Once people realized that this was the place where the Los Pollos Hermanos scenes were filmed, they actually saw a huge increase in revenue from all the tourists.

Tom’s Restaurant (Seinfeld)

While the characters will usually hang around in the Monk bar, this is actually Tom’s Restaurant in New York City. The exterior may not match the shots they used for the show, but the interior will put you right in the middle of a Seinfeld episode.

McGee’s (How I Met Your Mother)

It’s probably the most recognizable sitcom bar for everyone under the age of 40, and this bar has gone above and beyond to embrace the madness. They have drinks and dishes that reference the show and hold a trivia night every Tuesday where you can test your knowledge about the show.
