In our opinion, one of the best ways to get a crash course in a city’s history, culture, vibe, and ethos is by hitting up some of its most legendary watering holes. But -- and this is important -- not every great drinking city is a great bar hopping city. In this episode, host Wil Fulton is joined by Thrillist’s Executive Travel Editor Keller Powell and Senior Editor Andy Kryza: two folks who have traveled (and bar hopped) extensively. Ultimately, we’ll all give our picks for the best bar hopping city in America, and along the way we’ll discuss what makes a truly great bar hopping city, in general. We’ll also delve into some bar hopping sub categories like “what’s the best city for bar hopping after midnight?” and “what’s the best ‘sh*tshow’ street in America?” Look: if you like going out, traveling, and spending your time in great bars, you’ll like this episode.
