What is the largest chain of bars(location to drink alcohol)? Are there any that span nation wide? Why are there so few chains?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Given how often clubs turn over in my cities club district I'm not sure a single drinks only bar is viable; let alone a chain.

Buffalo Wild Wings is a chain bar, you are right. It is a sports bar, which seems to be the only kind of chain bar.
It serves food though, and I see the question specifies no food. That's not the normal definition of a bar.
I don't think the no food thing was there when I answered this. So the reason there are no or very few no food straight up bar chains is licensing. It is very hard to get a license in nearly every state,city, or whatever for a bar. It is conversely reasonably easy to get one for a restaurant.

The asker changed the question after I answered. The asker added, "I am specifically talking about bars, not bars and grills. So places that just serve alcohol, no food."
Bars can serve food. What you call them depends upon what their emphasis is. Restaurants serve liquor too, remember. However, these listed chains are restaurants and are mostly for diners.
Sure they did...
No, I've had that happen to me before. Then everyone rushes to hit "not helpful" because your answer no longer fits the question.
T.G.I. Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays California Pizza Kitchen, P.F. Chang's, and Hooters all serve food!!
Bars that have no food at all are generally small, old fashioned places whose customers like them because they are "neighborhood", with local and other character. Chains are almost by definition bland, although perhaps with a superficial theme.
I don't know any national chains that serve only alcohol and no food. I can't even think of a regional chain like that.

That's interesting. I have seen them around but never gone in one. If it works for one chain, I wonder why there are not more? Probably my answer was on track; alcohol and food go together, and places can do better if they sell both.
Coyote Ugly is the only one I can find, too. Not only do they not serve food, you can barely get a drink there unless they drag you up on the bar. At least that was the case last night in the Vegas location.
