In all my travels, I kinda think my hometown has a good many bars, and perhaps more bars per capita. than most other cities. Did not find much on the web. I'm sure there must be some info.There is one section in town that has at least 3 bars on each block. South Side. I see 27 bars listed on one site, but theres more little unlisted bars I'm positive. Pittsburgh, Pa.

According to
There is one concentration here in Pittsburgh, South Side, with 84 bar/bar-restuarants.within a mile.
OK I did some search on City Search. City bars pop
Pittsburgh 200 423K
Milwaukee 198 583K
Atlanta 267 425K
St. Louis 169 453K
Dallas 248 904K
NY 1347 8M
This is gona look crappy on Google
I'm not going to compute the ratio, but clearly, Milwaukee and St. Louis are out of the running. Atlanta looks like the champ amoungst these cities.

They should check out Enumclaw Washington, we have 10,000 people and 13 bars, one of which has a top flight selection of micro brews. 31taps none of which are in any why related to budcoorsmiller. Not bad for a small town

That beats Atanta by about double as I calculate.

Especially if you broaden the equation to: bars x population x cascade hops.
According to census data, where I used to live (Glidden, WI), they have
5 taverns and a population of about 350...Scott

I live in Allison Park. Etna ain't bad for having bars. I think if you closed all the bars and Pizza shops in Etna, that would take away most of Etna's Industry. Sharpsburg has their share, Aspinwall has a couple, Blawnox is pretty well stocked with bars. In fact, going by per capita, Blawnox might give Etna a run for the title. And then there's Millvale.
If we're allowed to push this concept to an extreme, I can nominate Cleator, Arizona, halfway up the long dirt ex-railroad-right-of-way road to Crown King, Arizona. It is the archetype of a true Wild West "ghost town" with several abandoned houses, an abandoned schoolhouse, and one saloon still operated by the town's sole resident caretaker. (Said town is still legally owned by the Cleator family, who now lives elsewhere.) Do an Internet search and you may find several online accounts by off-roaders and 4WD enthusiasts.
So that's one functioning bar, one resident. The ratio doesn't get any higher, folks.
