With How I Met Your Mother premiering this week, I got to thinking about other shows that feature hangouts such as MacLaren’s as a key component. In most shows it’s a bar, but others opt for less booze or more nudity.
Hangout: MacLaren’s
Show: How I Met Your Mother
MacLaren’s is the site of most of Barney’s antics and where the slap bet and “haaave you met Ted?” were started. It’s the type of local bar most people wish they had right down the street.

Hangout: Cheers
Show: Cheers
Rather than being an afterthought whose name only serious viewers would know, this bar nabbed the show’s title, forever cementing it in TV Bar history.

Hangout: The Max
Show: Saved By The Bell
The Max provided so many Saved By The Bell memories, like AC Slater’s reverse-chair-sit and Lisa Turtle’s dance “The Sprain”. I’d forgotten that Max looked like Screech’s dad.
