Even the most enjoyable vacation can leave you in need of a drink, and bars make great, offbeat places to learn about the history of your destination. The staff of VirtualTourist.com shares its favorite legendary watering holes with Reuters:
- Harry’s Bar, Venice: Famed Hemingway haunt claims to have invented the Bellini, and carpaccio.
- The Blind Beggar, London: Opened by the Salvation Army in 1894; site of a gangster's murder in 1966.
- White Horse Tavern, New York: A favorite of the literary crowd, said to have served the whiskey that killed Dylan Thomas.
- Garota de Ipanema, Rio de Janerio: Writers of The Girl from Ipanema leered at the 15-year-old beachgoer from this joint.
- The Pub, Valletta, Malta: British actor Oliver Reed had, seemingly fatally, his last drink here after a shoot.
- Heinold’s First and Last Chance Bar, Oakland, Calif.: The 1906 San Francisco earthquakes stopped the clock and left the floors permanently slanted at this Jack London fave.
