Beer and FoodOverview
Bars are often places where patrons come to quench their thirst for a Bahama mama or rum and coke---but food is also a favorite. Many pubs are renowned specifically for their food---especially cheeseburgers. Some foods actually taste better downed with a cold draft beer or accompanied by the sweet taste of a mixed cocktail. The perfect bar food is sought after by those looking for a good meal combined with a tasty drink and lively bar atmosphere.
Cheeseburger
Cheeseburgers are one of the most popular foods that can be found at bars around the world. One of the most famous cheeseburgers served at a bar is the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" made popular by Parrothead Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy's burger can be served at both the bar or table inside one of his 11 Margaritaville restaurants. Lettuce, tomato, onion and a big kosher pickle await those needing their juicy cheeseburger fix. Bars around the world that also have grills likely have cheeseburgers on their menu. The best thing about a bar cheeseburger is they are typically made to order.
French Fries
Alongside of cheeseburgers---there isn't a menu item much more sought after than french fries. While they match up perfect with a burger, they also pair up nicely with tasty toppings. Chili, jalapeños and cheese are popular toppings for french fries. In a bar, french fries are often deep fried and then sprinkled lightly with salt or seasonings. Fries come in different types of cuts such as criss-cross, curly and waffle-style. Ketchup and spicy mayonnaise are popular dips for this all-American food.
Pizza
For those who crave the spicy, gooey, hearty fill-up of a slice of pizza---the bar is the perfect place to find it. Many pubs or bars serve beer alongside of their specialty pizza. For bars that hold their pizza as their signature dish---they may have pizza ovens that specially bake pizza to perfection. One famous pizza place that also serves a cold draft beer alongside their slice is Vito's Pizza and Beer in York, Pennsylvania. Here, guests can enjoy a glass or pitcher of ice cold beer along with a specialty white garlic or white ricotta pizza.
Hot Wings
Everyone loves the spicy, juicy and crunchy taste of hot wings. There are many bars that serve hot wings as one of their signature foods. Popular chains such as Fricker's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters specialize in tasty wings in a sports bar-type atmosphere. Choose from mild all the way to flaming hot and then dunk in a side of cool and creamy blue cheese dressing and a crunch of celery. Wings are perfect paired up with a beer or cola.
Cheese sticks
A crunchy, gooey, breaded deep-fried favorite---cheese sticks are popular with both kids and adults. Cheese sticks are often found in bars because they are easy for chefs and bar workers to prepare. Many cheese sticks are bought frozen by bar owners and then deep fried before serving. Popular dippings include ranch sauce and marinara. The Pizzeria Uno Chicago Bar and Grill serves cheese sticks at their bar in Chicago.
