Okay, so we don't really know where Mario goes to get wasted—maybe the Mushroom Kingdom has a speakeasy or something, because we're pretty sure that place has been under prohibition since the '80s.

But it doesn't really matter, since there are really so many other places for our favorite virtual protagonists to see a show, take in some live music, hear the latest rumors, or simply drink until they fall on the floor.

We tried to be as all-encompassing as possible—whether you prefer adventure games from 20 years ago or Grand Theft Auto IV—but please, if we forgot any, let us know in the comments or on Twitter.

What's on the menu: A guy named Shotglass. Yes, Shotglass is his name. And yes, he owns the bar. But you have to wonder: which came first? Also, the track for this place is some really stellar (get it? It's in space) MIDI jazz. Check it out.
