There was a bar in Allegan Michigan - right across from the courthouse - that bore that name - and looked rather like it inside.
A friend of mine was waitressing there when Woody Harrelson (a Michigan native) came into the bar. He liked the place enough that he put on an apron and started bartending.
He flatly denied who he was when people commented how much he looked like that guy from that TV show.
They took a picture of him wiping down the bar - and later had a poster sized enlargement hanging behind the bar.
The guy has a great sense of humor.
Woody Harrelson is from Texas, not Michigan.
Cool story, though.

I stand corrected. I always thought he was from here..
How about we get Woody and the Texans can keep Ted Nugent?

The Blue Frog Inn & Tavern. The 4-story building, covering nearly a third of a city block, was constructed only a few years after the War of the Ring in the New City Quarter on The Pelennor. Located about a 20-minute walk from the Great Gates, it boasts a huge dining room and bar which, along with the kitchens, takes up most of the first floor. The upper three floors contain guest rooms of various sizes and classes which may be rented by the day or month. The Blue Frog is famous for its excellent meat pies and wide selection of ales from across The Reunited Kingdom.

I wish someone would keep him. Preferably in an airtight container.

I would say the Cantina in 'Star Wars' (the first one to come out, whatever damned number that is), except that I don't think it's fictional. I'm pretty sure I have been there on a few occasions.

Boycotting that one. Don't allow droids. Mos's place, on the gripping hand...

This is my favorite bar, not that I would go if it were real. A skinny wimp like me would get my ass killed just asking to use the bathroom.
