2024 Update
2024 saw me visit 521 new bars, continuing a 3-year run of >500 bars a year, and bringing me to a total of 6,051 bars visited. These included the oldest bar I have visited so far, the Medieval Tavern U Krále Brabantského, in Prague, Czech Republic, said to have been established in 1375, and also not one but two floating bars in Turks & Caicos. I completed the project to visit one bar in every municipality within certain counties in Pennsylvania, completing this goal in Butler and Washington counties (for a total now of 4 counties), with Westmoreland and Armstrong counties next up. On 7/1/2024 I completed my project to visit all 50 states (although I still have not yet been to a bar in Alaska).
Selected County Totals
One of my goals is to visit at least one bar in every municipality in Western PA with at least one bar. I am tracking this by county. (I'm also tracking Bucks County because, while it is further away, it is my favorite county in PA.)

Some of the bars visited in Pittsburgh
As you can see from the numbers above, I have now been to 311 bars within the city limits of Pittsburgh, a city I estimate to contain about 450 bars at any given time. I am striving to visit every bar in Pittsburgh, but as this is always a moving target (as bars close and new bars open) it is difficult to estimate when I will complete this.
