In my latest Bar Tab column, "The ultimate bar (part one)", I list ingredients for the perfect watering hole. It's a Dr. Frankenstein approach where I imagine combining the best characteristics of my favorite local pubs, taverns and saloons to create the greatest drinking establishment known to mankind — or at least what I would find superior. I'm also asking, you, reader, for suggestions. What would your dream bar feature? What would be the ideal location, setting, menu, etc.? Should it include pool tables, darts, Golden Tee? Would there be toilet attendants? Submit your suggestions via email to wade@cln.com or post a comment on the story.

Here's a list of songs about bars, bartenders, and events taking place inside bars: drinking, dancing, hooking up, fighting, etc.

Top 10: Saloon songs

1. "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)," Tom Waits

2. "Closing Time," Leonard Cohen

3. "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," Frank Sinatra

4. "Swinging Doors," Merle Haggard

5.. "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," John Lee Hooker

6. "A Million Miles Away," Rory Gallagher

7. "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother," Ray Wylie Hubbard

8. "Thrown Out of the Bar," Hank Williams III

9. "Bartender's Blues," George Jones and James Taylor

10. "A Better Place to Be," Harry Chapin
