* Sony made [[https://youtu.be/7_fPtazfALA one]] that has various game characters hang out in a bar, who all end up cheering the player for being a great person who helped them in their time of need.

* The ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' episode, ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho051TheWormery The Wormery]]'' is set in ''Bianca's Cabaret''. A bar on a distant planet full of wormholes for bringing in customers from all over time and space.

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode, ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent Hell Bent]]'', Clara gets her own [=TARDIS=] that takes the shape of a diner and can travel anywhere in time or space.

* In ''Series/TheSopranos'' episode ''[[Recap/TheSopranosS2E9FromWhereToEternity From Where To Eternity]]'', Chris has a near death experience where he visits Hell or Purgatory that's an Irish bar where it is Saint Patrick's Day every day, and Italian mobsters spend all eternity getting beaten in card games.

* The Nexus inside the Anomaly in ''Videogame/NoMansSky'' is located between instances of the universe. Because of its peculiar status, it's the only location completely out of reach of the [[AIIsACrapshoot Sentinels]]. It's also a good place to team up with friends or random players.

* "Pocket D" is a [[GoodGuyBar nightclub]] in a small PocketDimension, in the {{MMORPG}}s ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' and ''City of Villains'' (and ''City of Heroes Going Rogue''). It's accessible from multiple points in either games, and allows characters from all three to interact in a neutral environment (CoH and CoV have multiple [=PvP=] zones otherwise).

* The Cafe of Broken Dreams in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'' is the fourth-wall breaking version of this. It's a random encounter, but if you get it, you meet up with the [=NPCs=] of the first game, engage in jokes about character models, and get Dogmeat back.

* Book 8 of ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' (''Worlds' End'') is set in the titular extra-dimensional inn. Book 9 mentions that there are a total of four, although only one of the others ("The Toadstone") is named.

* The light novel and anime ''LightNovel/RestaurantToAnotherWorld'' has a weird and somewhat downplayed version of this: six days out of the week, it is just a western-faire restaurant in Japan. But on Saturdays, the restaurant's door opens to many places in a fantasy world, with the clientele going from businessmen and office ladies to wizards, dragons and lionmen.

* Ouroboros a.k.a. The Pub in the Hub of the Multiverse, from ''Script/AHDotComTheSeries''.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' has a comic series called ''Tales of the Ten-Tailed Cat'' set in a tavern like this.

** ''Party Animals'' is set in Bonjaxx's Bar on the planet Maruthea which sits at the center of the Time Vortex.

* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': At the end of Season 6, John Series/{{Constantine}} gives his ex-girlfriend Zari a magical key before he leaves the Legends, which can send the holder to a replica of his mansion. This mansion becomes the Legends' temporary HomeBase for the next season thanks to their regular headquarters the ''Waverider'' getting destroyed by another ''Waverider'', and they can get to the mansion at any time and at any place as long as there's a door and keyhole to use the magic key on.

* The Interdimensional Tavern in ''Website/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids'' is one of the only landmarks to exist in TheVoid (and yes, that is every bit as paradoxical as it sounds, sorry) and a common stopping point for {{Dimensional Traveler}}s. (The owner is a golf ball and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s often stop by to bully him into giving them free drinks. One would like to say you get used to it, but no, you don't.)

* ''Fanfic/ThisTimeRound'', the ''Series/DoctorWho'' pub outside continuity, [[GoodGuyBar a meeting place for everything]] in the ''Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse'' - and every canon they've crossed over with. Inspired by the Subreality Cafe, which is this for comics characters.

* Creator/ABertramChandler once had Space Navy officer John Grimes inadvertently cross universes to a club for fictional naval personnel--though the original rules were bent a bit to allow non-naval ship captains such as [[Literature/MobyDick Ahab]] to hang out there (it's hinted that [[Franchise/JamesBond Commander Bond]] had to strong-arm [[Literature/TheCaineMutiny Captain Queeg]] somewhat to make him stop objecting to Ahab's inclusion). [[TheJeeves Jeeves]] is the chief servant at the club, is fully aware of the fictional nature of all involved, and asks Grimes (approximate quote): "The question is, sir, are you an ''enduring'' creation?"

** The World Serpent Inn mentioned in several TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms {{sourcebook}}s was built in its own demiplane by an archmage from [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Toril]], [[TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}} Arcane]] and [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} Illithid]] as a [[TruceZone neutral ground]] when Sigil turned out to be too violent and inconvenient for quiet business and rest. Not only is it connected to many worlds, but (unlike Sigil) it is accessible to powers, and some gods visit it to relax and chat with creatures they deem interesting. It's a form of GoodGuyBar, since no one wants to annoy peacefully grazing deities, and some clients in a common room ''can'' turn out to be gods on a tea-break. And even if there aren't any, TheBartender is an avatar himself--if some god just likes to meet new people and thinks it's funny, why not?

* The eponymous Floating Vagabond from ''TabletopGame/TalesFromTheFloatingVagabond'' is a variation of this--it only ''exists'' in one place and time, but has a device that will randomly cause people who enter other bars in any time, reality, or location in the universe to end up there... and once it's happened once, they can ''intentionally'' cause it to happen whenever they enter another bar from then on.

* This is the general idea behind "dressing room" [=RPGs=] on Livejournal - the only difference being that your stay there is usually a lot longer than in other examples of this trope. The benefit of this setting is that players can come and go as they please; when a player wants to stop playing, they can simply stop posting and other characters will simply treat the disappearance as the dressing room sending your character home.

* In ''You Look Like Death: Tales From ComicBook/TheUmbrellaAcademy'' Klaus can [[AstralProjection astrally project]] into a dimension called The Void. The only building is a bar/hotel where souls reside until the CelestialBureaucracy decides whether to put them in Heaven or Hell.
* [[Creator/MarkMillar Mark Millar's]] ''The Magic Order'' has the Abington Hotel, a wizard-only restaurant that exists on the borders of time and space. It connects to every point in time and guests aren't allowed to talk to other diners or leave through a different door that they came in through.
* The 2008 ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' had their base in Knowhere, a GiantCorpseWorld on the outer edge of all spacetime where the rest of time and space can be accessed. Although there are other features like a marketplace and facilities for observing the end of the universe, there is a bar called Starlin's.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Brulee's house is located right in-between a rift in the Mirro-World alternate dimension and the One Piece planet's real world.

* ''Bear's Cafe'' is in an AfterlifeAntechamber where the dead get a final meal before boarding the AfterlifeExpress.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Necrobarista}}'' is set in a cafe called The Terminal where the dead get one final night to interact with the living.

* [[Creator/MarkMillar Mark Millar's]] ''The Magic Order'' has the Abington Hotel, a wizard-only restaurant that exists on the borders of time and space. It connects to every point in time and guests aren't allowed to talk to other diners or leave through a different door that they came on through.

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' has Game Central Station, which is a surge protector that connects all the arcade machines together in reality, but serves as this for the game characters.

In the ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf'' episode "[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/WhatIfS1E9WhatIfTheWatcherBrokeHisOath What If The Watcher Broke His Oath?]], The Guardians Of The Multiverse meet inside an extradimensional pub based on one described in Captain Carter's biography.

* [=McAnally's=] Pub, in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', is accessible to all of Chicago, magical and nonmagical alike (though most patrons are at least aware of the supernatural; any {{Muggles}} who wander intend to wander back out pretty quickly), and is a place of truce for all the magical factions.

* EldritchLocation: {{Supertrope}}: May or not be hospitable, definitely ''weird.''
