Where is the Cheers type of place here in Downtown Miami?

I think every single guy should have a bar, not that you can't have a bar as a married man, I just think having a bar as a single guy is slightly more important. I am not talking about owning the thing, but about a place you can go to get dinner, have a few beers, watch some T.V. and maybe its a place where they know your name.
Like Cheers was for Cliff, Norm and Frasier.

It's not as easy finding the perfect place like it was for Cliff, Norm and Frasier though. You can't just turn on the T.V. at 8 p.m. on Thursday nights and be there, like those guys could back in the late 80's. Because Cheers is in Boston, but pretty much everyone in America could view that place back in the day when that show was on prime time, and you still can, if you have T.V.land as a channel on your cable system.

Finding this bar that you can call your own is a brutal process. There are so many variables about having the perfect bar, that are completely out of your control. Its like finding a relationship with a woman. Not any woman will do, and not any bar can suffice. You want the woman to be smart, and you want the bar to be close by. You want the woman to be attractive enough, and the bar can't charge to much for their drinks. You want an equal as a woman to have a relationship with, and your bar should have a television, probably multiple televisions, HD would be nice. The bar should "get you" and the woman should do the same. Its a two way street though. To have a relationship, you should "get" her as well, and understand and appreciate her. Just like the bar should be a place that the bartenders know you by name, the woman should allow you to be you.

The perfect woman does not exist, but guess what, you probably arent perfect either. This by no means, is an excuse to settle, not with the woman, or the bar, but you should be a big enough man that you can except some baggage that comes with either a relationship, or the bar you call your own.
-
Maybe the woman talks a little to much, and maybe the bar occasionally plays crap music. Maybe the woman is always late and that drives you crazy. The bar might slightly overprice their drinks, but remember, you probably also suck in some ways as well. You might be a bit to anal about stuff being in the right place, or maybe you think way to much about football. Maybe its you that actually talks to much? She might be stunningly beautiful and you, not so much, but she likes you because you are funny and have a huge personality. Just saying, allowing for give and take is part of the process, but again, that is in no way an excuse to ever settle on either the bar or the relationship.

Right now I am currently seeing three different bars on a relatively regular basis. All three are close enough that I don't have to drive my car to get to them, which is good on the occassions when I imbibe to much, and all three of them have flaws as well as huge upsides.

They are all on the golf course right now, metaphorically speaking, so not any of them are in the clubhouse with a score to beat. The current leader is one that I go to the most often. It has a relatively well priced menu for both the food and the drinks. It has two hot looking bartenders that know me by name. It has the requisite Televisions and it is a fun place. Not only that, but there are a few regulars that hang out there that amuse me in conversation. They know me and I know them. We aren't necessarily friends, but we do kind of hang together to some degree when we are at the place at the same time. Here is the problem with this bar however, It closes on Saturday and Sundays, how messed up is that? to be fair though it's primary deal is as a lunch place for working downtowners. It also has a primarily male clientele, which I am not knocking, but the perfect place would have more women hanging out then this particular bar has.
-
The second place contender to become my bar is also within walking distance, so that is a plus. The bartenders are all dudes, but they are cool and funny and they also know me by name as well as my beer of choice. This particular place is also very upscale and has a killer location, an outstanding view of the river and awesome food. In fact, the food is better then the leader, which brings me to the negatives with this place. It is the most expensive of the three. It is primarily a place to get super nice dinners, so it doesnt have much of a regular clientelle. The bar here is more like a place to wait rather then actually hang out and have a good time.

Finally the Sergio Garcia of the three places. This place has so much potential but much Like Sergio Garcia is the best golfer to have never won a major, this place is the best bar that just doesnt quite get it. This place has the most women hanging out, which is a huge plus, the food and drink are also reasonably priced, plus it has cool music and outstanding atmosphere. You would think this is the winner but it is also to popular, I know, that sounds like I am being picky but its more of a scene then the other two places are, and it just doesn't feel like a place you can be a regular at. Its louder then the other two bars, mostly because its more popular, which again is a plus and a minus. It is also the farthest away. I can get there by riding the train that goes through my building and around down town and then on to Brickell though, so its not a deal breaker.

I need a regular bar and place to eat most of my dinners , as this cooking business is not cut out for me. I just can't figure if any of these are going to be the one, I dont want to be to picky but I do know what I like in a bar. Its a process though and I will hopefully eventually figure it out, plus who knows maybe there is a journeyman golfer hanging out in the back of the pack that will make its move on some future friday and storm the field and win the tournament. Life is full of surprises.
