The Pedal Pub is nothing new, but this particular one in Bend, Oregon does an excellent job of keeping the microbreweries in business. Keep up the good work!

It's a pub that looks like something of a mobster's hangout from the 50s, and get this, in the back, they have a room with a stuffed cougar diorama. Now that's a place to drink.

Hidden amongst the streets of San Francisco, the Bourbon & Branch isn't so much a pub as it is a speakeasy, but it offers incredible cocktails and classes on how to make them! In addition, hidden behind a false bookshelf is the entrance to ANOTHER SPEAKEASY! That craftiness alone makes it our Pub of the week.

This pub in Houston, Texas doesn't feature live action martial arts, however, it does have skee-ball, street fighter, mortal kombat, foosball, contra, shuffleboard and more. So, it maybe a bit misnamed, but is a pretty damn fun pub.

Located in Brisbane, Australia, you'll have no problem finding a seat in this place, because it's able to hold 7 thousand people. However, you may have some problem figuring out what beer to drink, since they boast 100 different varieties on tap.

This dive bar is pretty much exactly what you think, when you think dive bar. And, apparently there are mice races. So, that's a plus.

This Times Square restaurant and bar hosts "live entertainment and spooky special effects" inspired not just by Jekyll & Hyde, but the entire gothic horror canon. Like any good Times Square tourist destination, there is a gift shop, too — selling T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and… "insect and butterfly collections."
