History Main / LocalHangout

** Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and the following few seasons. The Rangers spend most of their free time there, either relaxing or practicing martial arts or gymnastics.

* The village tavern in ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' functions as a meeting place for many of the villagers, primarily Gaston and his hanger-ons. The music number ''Gaston'' takes place in the tavern, and Maurice knows to go there for help after Belle switches places with his as the Beast's prisoner.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]

* VideoGame/{{Tapper}}'s seems to function as this in ''Disney/WreckItRalph''. Ralph goes there to pour out his troubles to Tapper himself, and then manages to steal a mechanized soldier's suit from a drunk in the Tapper bathroom so he can get into ''Hero's Duty''.

** Hyrule Town in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''.
** Telma's Place in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', where The Resistance hangs out and plans.

* Swanna's cafe in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity''. The plot-relevant team members are usually hanging out in there if they aren't on top of the hill it's built inside of.

* The kitchen. Everyone always hangs out in the kitchen.
** Especially for student residences with shared kitchens. The social group formed by your friends in the kitchen are much more likely to meet there at dinnertime than with everyone else in the common room.

* Luigi's Italian restaurant in ''Series/AshesToAshes'' replaces [[MyLocal The Railway Arms]] of ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2006}}''

%%* The Naughty Ottsel in the Franchise/JakAndDaxter series.

%%* The Talon more often than not fulfills this role in ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', Clark's loft coming in at a close second.

%%* Hooper's Store in ''Series/SesameStreet''.

* Pepper Pete's in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Wishbone?from=Main.Wishbone Wishbone]]. Notable in the fact that it's also owned by Sam's father, meaning it's technically her family business.

%%* The Drunken Clam in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

%%* Mel's Drive-In in ''Film/AmericanGraffiti''.
%%* VideoGame/{{Tapper}}'s seems to function as this in ''Disney/WreckItRalph''.

* Super teenagers in ''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' often visit the Cape & Cowl Cafe. Steve Trevor's parents own them.

* Merlin's place in Traverse Town for ''KingdomHearts''.

** The Twilight Town Clock Tower, in ''KingdomHearts: 358/2 Days'' is the LocalHangout for Xion, Roxas & Axel while off duty. Apparently, the trio likes nothing better than eating ice cream while dangling their legs off a precarious ledge 10 stories off the ground. [[spoiler:Even after one of them nearly falls off of it]].

* For the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series

** In the Snarkout Boys books by the same author, the Hasty Tasty, a somewhat questionable hot-dog stand, is their go-to hangout place after snarking out. The Deadly Nightshade also becomes this in the second book, frequented by nearly all the characters.

* Ichiraku Ramen in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', although mostly for just [[BigEater Naruto]] himself. Seen mainly in {{Filler}} since the nature of the series' {{Ninja}} work has them on the road a lot. Similarly, Squad Eight has some kind of pork restaurant that they go to quite often.
** However, one of the anime endings of Shippuden reveals that it is actually this amongst not only Naruto, but his friends and loved ones (with scenes of him there with other teams or flashbacks of other individuals such as Jiraiya and Tsunade after drinking or his own parents.)

* In ''Manga/AoiHana'', the girls love to go to a place called Milk Hall. It's actually an [[RealPlaceBackground existing location]] which is not likely to be often visited by 16-year-olds, with its sober interior and old jazz music playing in the background, but it makes for a fetching setting for some of the most dramatic scenes in the series.
** There's also the fact that the girls in ''Aoi Hana'' are ''not'' normal 16-year-olds. Even the straight ones tend to be arts/literature geeks.

** Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and the following few seasons.

* Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and the following few seasons.
** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'': The Surf Spot. The Rangers spend a lot of time away from Earth, though, so it never gets the exposure that other hang outs did.

* Early in ''Series/Supergirl'''s 2nd season, Maggie introduces Alex and the DEO to a National City bar that aliens frequented. The bar has never been given a name but it's become the de facto hangout for Kara and her friends ever since.

%%* Bada Bing! in ''Series/TheSopranos''.
