    10 Bars Across America That Every Woman Should Visit At Least Once

    Alright BAUCEs, I’ve curated a list of top bars and venues in some of America’s biggest cities that we believe are worth your time and energy. They are highly-recommended places where you are more than likely to meet a high-quality companion and grab some super tasty drinks. Under each venue, I’ve included a bulleted list of their popular features and highlights. Some of these locations I’ve visited myself (denoted with an asterisk!) and some were referrals from friends.

    These venues range from borderline bougie celebrity and corporate hangouts to low-key hidden gems where a no-frills vibe is taken seriously. Successful, sophisticated and fun-loving folks don’t fit into one prototype, so I’ve tried to include scenes featuring distinctive atmospheres and menus attracting patrons worthy of a BAUCE chick’s time.

    All of these establishments tout something unique; whether it’s award-winning cocktails, historical relevance, extended brunch, great music, or a lavish and elegant ambiance.  These lounges, bars, and hangouts are recognized locally by their patrons and are often nationally-acclaimed.
