What a shame that the Lure closed. That was a fun place.
Picking just one is not easy, but the C***ring in Amsterdam usually makes for an interesting evening out. Though I have not been to AMS in almost three years.
(can I say the name, or is that word verboten?)

Well I guess I have a few "favs"
The Bourbon Pub is great in NOLA
BOOM! in Minneapolis is great for a video bar, esp on Sunday nights and their restaurant Oddfellows is awesome, 4 stars I'd say
Roscoes in Chicago is always up there, since it was my first gay bar, though I miss the old cafe they had, which had the best cheesecake and sandwiches, a great way to grab good food and chat with someone new....also since I was underage....the best way to sneak into the bar....eat at the cafe then go to the bathroom which was in the bar area and oops...never come back....
The Stud on Tuesday nights in San Fran is always a good time.
Out of the country:
Europe: G.A.Y. is a wild party in London, but I can't remember the name of a cool little cocktail bar in Cologne Germany...
Asia: Fresh in Taipei
Dang Girl, I've gotten around....and only 29.....

I must counter the "seen one, seen 'em all" comment..
Obviously, you aren't looking very deep...
"The Park" - Roanoke, Virginia. Haven't been in a few years, but it was the only gig for 150 miles around... as such, it attracted a truly diverse element... whites, blacks, girls, boys, cowboys, drag queens, club kids, preppies...
Music was diverse too... they would play everything from house, to c/w, to slow-dance ballads. Music stopped, as crowds swapped out on the dance floor.
"Friends" - Prague, Czech Republic. Great place to meet people to have conversation and make... yes, you guessed it... Friends. Have been here a few times on a few different trips... and have never failed to strike up conversations with native Czechs or various ex-Pats, tourists.
"The Lure" - New York, NY. R.I.P... *sigh*
The only gig for 150 miles around... it attracts a >DIVERSE< element ...
