Dear Mayor Marx and Council Members -
Here's the data pertaining to the "highest number of bars per capita/household in the Stat e
of California":
See Trulia Trends : "Baring Towns, Drinking Towns".
http ://trends .truliablog .com/2012/08/eating-towns-drinking-towns /
Bars per 10,000 household s
1 New Orleans, LA 8 .6
2 Milwaukee, WI 8 .5
3 Omaha, NE-IA 8 .3
4 Pittsburgh, PA 7 .9
5 Toledo, OH 7 .2
6 Syracuse, NY 7 .0
7 Buffalo, NY 6 .8
8 San Francisco, CA 6 .0
9 Las Vegas, NV 6 .0
10 Honolulu, HI 5 .9
San Francisco is the only town that made the "top ten" list in California and it has 6 .0
bars per 10,000 households .
We have 33 bars in SLO or 6 .7 bars per 10,000 capita (not households). See the
following :
For 33 bars in San Luis Obispo : See the following website Q

And/or see the list below:
My calculations are as follows : 49,000 population divided by 10,000 = 4 .9
33 bars divided by 4 .9 = 6 .73 bars per 10,000 populatio n
City of SLO ave . household size : 2 .23 x 6 .73 =14.95 bars per household (per Trull i
Trends this would be the highest in the nation, even higher than New Orleans!)
Best I can tell, most of these have separate bars and serve hard liquor as well as beer
and wine:

21 Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge (Madonna Inn)
22 SLO Brewin g

24 The Graduate

bars... but I'm not sure how many of these serve hard liquor (obviously not the win e
bars):
