I'm a fan of Tim Cockey's Hitchcock Sewell undertaker mystery series, and I seem to remember that Hitch has a few favorite Baltimore bar hang-outs.<br />
<br />
Just as a side-note, for my upcoming TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET mystery set in Breckenridge, CO, I had a lot of fun creating a "fish-out-of-water" scene for my 47-year-old amateur sleuth, Claire Hanover. She has to go into a well-known (real, but sadly just recently closed) snowboarder's bar called "Sherpa and Yeti's" to gather some information. Most…

Just as a side-note, for my upcoming TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET mystery set in Breckenridge, CO, I had a lot of fun creating a "fish-out-of-water" scene for my 47-year-old amateur sleuth, Claire Hanover. She has to go into a well-known (real, but sadly just recently closed) snowboarder's bar called "Sherpa and Yeti's" to gather some information. Most of the patrons are young people in their 20s, and Claire's daughter, who accompanies her, is embarrassed by the questions asked by her fuddy-duddy mom. I took my husband with me to lend some moral courage when I went to scout out the location one evening. :-) Sara, Robert Crais' Elvis Col…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2007-11-24:537324:Comment:966202007-11-24T14:18:51.383ZMichael Haskinshttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/Irelands32
Sara, Robert Crais' Elvis Cole spends some time at Musso & Franks in Hollywood, Ca. It's a restaurant and bar, so I don't know if it counts.<br />

Ken Bruen's Jack Taylor has several locals (basically any which will let him in at any given time!). Then there's Westlake's Dortmunder and crew of course. Doesn't John Harvey's Resnick have a local too? And isn't there a Lone Star bar Kinky Friedman's books? It's ages since I've read them.

Rebus used to drive me crazy by spending all his time in bars. I recall that Morse went to pubs and had his sergeant pick up the tab. And Mortimer's Rumpole regularly drinks his "Thames Embankment" vintage in a place where the members of the bar hang out.

Doesn't Steve Hamilton have his series guy constantly hanging out in some bar run by a Scotsman in the U.P.? Don't have any of Hamilton's books at hands to snag the name of the pub, but my memory is of the same joint being used repeatedly...
