Due to popular demand, Route 66 News has created a Clubs page that lists music venues and taverns on or near Route 66.
A few things about the page before you surf to it:
— The list is not all-inclusive, but tries to stick to establishments that are notable music clubs, microbreweries, or historic or colorful taverns. Not just any hole-in-the-wall will do.
— These places aren’t necessarily on Route 66, but within a mile or so. I expanded the perimeters so truly great places could be included, such as Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago, and Orpheum Theatre in Flagstaff.
— Foreign travelers should know that quite a few — but not all — restaurants along Route 66 serve alcohol. Just because a town you’re visiting doesn’t have a tavern on this list doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get a beer with your meal.

Excellent. A need that has too long been ignored.
By not living on the Route, participating in the Federation’s “Adopt-A-Hundred” program hasn’t really been feasible for me. However, I’d at least give serious thought to an “Adopt-A-Bar-Stool” program if one is ever formed.
