20 TV Hangouts We're Hitting After The Pandemic: The Bronze, Luke's Diner, Sharon Carter's Gallery, LUX And More

Vaccines are getting into people's arms, and that can only mean one thing: In a foreseeable future, it will be time to congregate with other, actual humans and properly mark the end of quarantine. If you had your choice of any TV hangout to go eat, drink and be socially undistanced, where would you choose?

In the list below, the TVLine staff has rounded up 20 bars, nightclubs, diners, coffee shops, pubs and Winebraries, from TV shows past and present, where we would be more than happy to commune and resume genial, unmasked interactions.

Sure, one fabulous destination requires a bit of time travel, and another would land an international crime den's stamp on your passport, but individual TVline staff members can personally vouch for every one of these hangouts... based on, at least, what we have seen on TV.

Review our itinerary of post-pandemic destinations from Buffy, Lucifer, Cheers, Vampire Diaries, Moesha, Cougar Town, Ted Lasso, Wynonna Earp and other shows, and then tell us where from the small screen — no matter the time or place — you would want to rediscover the joys of being social.

After more than a year of working from home, we'd love nothing more than to grab our laptops and soak up the cozy coffee shop vibe of the Beverly High students' usual meeting place. And the thought of crowding around that pool table to play a few games with friends? Just lovely. (A little nerve-wracking, but mostly lovely.)

After the year we've all had, who couldn't use a little sanctuary (spell)? Lorne's mystically protected karaoke bar offers a safe space to relax, have your aura read and belt out your favorite tunes — and you haven't lived until you've heard Angel's "Mandy" (which has only acquired deeper meaning since SEAL Team Season 3).

Has the pandemic disrupted your dating life? Then high-tail it to the Peach Pit After Dark to reacquaint yourself with some of Beverly Hills' hottest clientele. While you're at it, hit the dance floor and take in some of L.A.'s latest and greatest live music. It's a post-pandemic dream.

It may be swarming with teenagers (and a few bloodsucking vamps), but if there's one thing we can trust today's youth with, it's their music recommendations. The lack of live tunes throughout the pandemic has saddened our souls, so we're game to foray to the seedier side of town to catch some hip up-and-comers, even if 1-in-5 trips to the Bronze ends in demonic terror. It's a small price to pay for leaving the house.

Sidle on up to this bar "where everybody knows your name" and on any given evening you might get an earful of an epic Red Sox yarn from "Mayday" Malone ('member him?), or better yet, overhear some very interesting facts from a fascinating mailman.

We're fairly confident Penny Can can be played while standing six feet apart, if social distancing is initially required. And after the year we've had, we could all use an oversized glass of red wine. Or two. Or three.

Once you're in the free and clear, do yourself a favor and steer clear of the Madripoor Low Town's sketchy bars (a snake's what goes with that shot?) and instead angle for an invite to the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent's high-end gallery. Come for the stolen masterpieces, stay for the grooving Zemo.

Good food and good vibes are reason enough to hang out at Rachel's diner in a post-pandemic world. Sure, you might have food dumped all over your lap (maybe go on a day when Steve Urkel isn't working?), but you'll forgot all about that when you're chowing down on a burger and fries or listening to tunes from the jukebox.

Gunther isn't the friendliest barista, but this is the kind of homey and cozy coffeehouse where you can camp out on the couch and figure out life with your friends. Bonus points if you need a job, because this place is always hiring.

We really miss live music. And where else can you hear Jesse and the Rippers cover the same six or seven Beach Boys songs (including "Forever," obviously) any given night of the week?

Bad news for curmudgeonly Luke Danes, who we have to assume was quite good at avoiding people during quarantine: We'd be pushing all of those diner tables together to catch up with our much-missed loved ones, and we might even squeeze in a few rounds of bagel hockey, too.

A veritable den of iniquity on a good day, this Los Angeles nightclub is one hell of a place to let loose after a long, lonely quarantine. Oh, and ladies/gents, be careful — the owner is a real devil.

Hey, if it means hopping a plane to Hawaii.... Aloha, Rick!

Andell will make you feel like family as you order reasonably priced snacks and drinks, and revisit your youth. After all, this is a teen hangout, grandma, so try not to embarrass yourself as you stroll down memory lane. M to the ...

We'd need a time machine to get there, but the eye-popping fashions, bring-the-house-down performances and raucous, chaotic energy of Pose's ballroom competitions make it a grand spectacle we'd love to experience in person. (And yes, we're rooting for House Evangelista.)

We're dying to hang out at the Winebrary — it's a bookstore and a wine store! — because of its chill vibes and beautiful scenery. Being surrounded by books and wine while listening to Poppy tell it like it is, we couldn't think of a better way to spend out our time post-pandemic.

Yes, the regulars at this Richmond watering hole can be a bit ornery — especially when it comes to their beloved football — but have no fear: the inn's lionhearted publican Mae is there to maintain law, order and an omnipresent sense of community. You might also witness a life-changing game of darts.

After the year (and change) that we've had, few things sound better than just sitting down at a nice cozy booth while Matt Donovan — or a similarly blue-eyed townie, we're not picky — waits on our every need. Throw in a few vampires and a round of bourbon, and we've got ourselves a party.

Sure, the Purgatory watering hole is known for a heavy pour. But the real thrill is never knowing if you might get roped into a raucous, sometimes-vegan Chili Cook-Off or be supernaturally compelled into competing (against, say, werewolves!) at Trivia Night. The chance to be sprinkled with aphrodisiac Cupid dust is mere icing on the cake.

Actually, you know what? Forget all of the above. We'll actually be hanging out at this exclusive and very remote spot until everyone has had their shots. No, it might not have the most comfortable furniture (an easily fixable problem when you have an IKEA membership), but the working A/C (you never see anyone sweating) and a solid security system makes Kara Zor-El's cool retreat the perfect place to hide out.
