* For the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros series:

->--'''Al Swearengen''', ''{{Deadwood}}''

* For the ''SuperMario series:
** Peach's Castle in ''SuperMario64''
** Delfino Plaza in ''SuperMarioSunshine''
** Toad Town in ''PaperMario''
** Rogueport in ''PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor''
** Flipside in ''SuperPaperMario''

* For the ''{{Pokemon}}'' series:
** Any secret base in ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' and ''PokemonEmerald''
** The Underground in ''PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' and ''PokemonPlatinum''

* Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar in seasons 1-5 of ''PowerRangers''.
** ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'': 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.

** ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'': Besides being the Rangers' tech support, Hayley runs an Internet cafe where the kids hang out, and Trent gets a job.

** ''[[Series/PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Fury]]'': Jungle Karma Pizza, which belongs to R.J. and hires the Rangers.

* ''Manga/SailorMoon'' has the arcade Game Center Crown, and later the café above it Fruits Parlor Crown. The [[PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live action version]] replaces them with Karaoke Crown, a Karaoke Box. In the manga and the live action the arcade and the Karaoke Box have the Senshi' (Un)ElaborateUndergroundBase there.

* The Yellow Flag from ''BlackLagoon''. It inevitably gets [[StuffBlowingUp destroyed]] and rebuilt almost on the weekly basis, given [[MobWar the nature of the show]]. Bao, the owner, isn't even disturbed by it anymore.

** ''BlackLagoon'' generally [[AllThereInTheManual takes place in]] [[TheNineties '96-98]], so this means almost exactly annual destruction of the bar. No wonder that Bao got used to it.

** The same place also makes a few brief appearances in ''ElfenLied''.

* Merlotte's Restraunt in TrueBlood, run by shape shifter Sam Merlotte. A large chunk of the cast also works there.
* Cafe Diem in ''{{Eureka}}''.

* Bada Bing! in "TheSopranos"

* The Royal Diner and The Founding Fathers in ''{{Bones}}''.

* Nasty Burger in ''DannyPhantom''. So much so that [[BigBad main villain]] Vlad bought it at one point and restricted any teenage admittance...just to [[MagnificentBastard mess with Danny]].

* ''SailorMoon'' has the arcade Game Center Crown, and later the café above it Fruits Parlor Crown. The [[PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live action version]] replaces them with Karaoke Crown, a Karaoke Box. In the manga and the live action the arcade and the Karaoke Box have the Senshi' (Un)[[ElaborateUndergroundBase elaborate Underground Base]] there.
* Ichiraku Ramen in ''{{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.
* The gas station in ''{{Initial D}}'' is the hangout place for Takumi, Itsuki, Iketani, and Kenji, although the first three are mainly seen working there.

** ''BlackLagoon'' generally [[AllThereInTheManual takes place in]] [[TheNineties '96-98]], so this means almost exactly annual destruction of the bar. No wonder that Bao got used to it.

* The Officer's Club and Rosie's Bar in ''{{Series/Mash}}''. While the Officer's Club is only for those at the base (not necessarily officers) and visiting officers, Rosie's is a bar near the base run by a Korean woman called Rosie, it is frequented by both American soliders and Korean civilians.

** ''[[PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'': 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.
** ''[[PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]'': Storm Chargers, the sporting goods store where Dustin works.
** ''[[PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'': Besides being the Rangers' tech support, Hayley runs an Internet cafe where the kids hang out, and Trent gets a job.
** ''[[PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]]'': The Rockporium, Toby's music store, where the Rangers (and Leelee) work.
** ''[[PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Fury]]'': Jungle Karma Pizza, which belongs to R.J. and hires the Rangers.

* The Hub in ''{{That 70s Show}}''.

* There was a disgusting one in ''[[YouCantDoThatOnTelevision You Can't Do That on Television]]'', which held this status because it was the only restaurant at all local to the TV studio that was the primary set.

* Luigi's Italian restaurant in ''AshesToAshes'' replaces [[MyLocal The Railway Arms]] of ''LifeOnMars''
* [=MacLaren's=] in ''HowIMetYourMother''. Justified in that, for the first three seasons, Ted, Lily, and Marshall lived above it.
** And explained in an episode that the reason why they usually are in the same booth is that a slightly wee bit mental BigGuy bartender forces other people out.

* The Groovy Smoothie in ''{{iCarly}}'', slightly subverted by the fact that it is frequently mentioned early on but doesn't actually appear until halfway through the second season. (Sam and Freddie frequently spend time in the Shay household, though, to the point where Spencer quips that he "doesn't recognize [them] not sitting on [his] couch." The real purpose of the Groovy Smoothie was to be able to have scenes between Sam and Freddie without either Carly or Spencer present.)

* Kelsey's Bar in ''AllInTheFamily''. Eventually Archie bought and ran it himself, and it became the primary setting of the followup show ''ArchieBunkersPlace''.

* The Boar's Nest, in the ''{{Dukes of Hazzard}}'', Owned by Boss Hogg, with Daisy Duke waitressing.

* Joe's Emerald City Bar in "GreysAnatomy"
