You bet! Google is your friend.

Nah, if I find a good one, great. If not, that's OK.

Say It Ain't So!
In a week or so, I'll be heading to Vegas. I had planned on going to The Tilted Kilt but according to what I found on Google, it's CLOSED! Can anyone confirm or deny this horrible event. Thanks.
I also wanted to poll the members to find out if part of your trip planning includes searching out great kilt bars/pubs. If the TK is closed I did find info on some good Irish pubs in Vegas.

The best pubs I have ever been to are ones you stumble on to.
Have a good trip Mikey. We're heading down there in November.

I have to agree but disagree.
The best pubs are the ones you just WANDER into, but stumble OUT of.

Excellent point! 
I have found in my travels that the best pubs and restaurants are found by asking locals - they always know the best, least touristy places.

It seems the TK in the Rio was replaced by another very simular chain bar called McFaddens. So you should give it a look for us!
I like to try local beers when I travel, so one thing I do is look up my destination on brewpubzone.com and see if there is a local brew pub to try out, I've had a lot of fun with that.

I've used that in the past. I also use The brewpub finder on the website All About Beer.

It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Colin has a good point! If you find em through adverts they are probably way too commercial! Cookie cutter type places that try to pretend to, be a pub.
We have what we call a pub in here G'boro Mckouls, pretty good place if I say so myself. I don't know that what we call a pub here is truly that in the real sense of the word. I think it is far more than just a wateringhole, it's really almost a communtiy center. Maybe that's changed though.

When I take a trip out of town I almost always check online to see if there is a brew pub near by. I don't really care about any other type of bar/club but I love trying local brews. The last place I discovered was American Flatbread in Burlington, VT. Awesome beer and they even had a medival beverage called gruit.

Well done that man -- think global, drink local!  int:
I always look for a brewpub in my travels to sample the local brews, and to add a pint glass to my collection.
