What is the name of the bar in the American TV series "How I Met Your Mother"?

"How I Met Your Mother" is an American sitcom, created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays for CBS and was directed by Pamela Fryman. The series, which ran from 2005 to 2014, follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in New York City's Manhattan. As a framing device, Ted, in the year 2030, recounts to his son and daughter the events that led him to meet their mother.

MacLaren's Pub is the bar where Barney, Lily, Robin, Marshall and Ted hang out. Many important moments of the show happen at MacLaren's, so it is very important to the gang. The Apartment is located in the building above the bar, making it a convenient place for the gang to hang out.

Although they can be seen at a variety of tables throughout the series, the gang is most often found at the favorite booth near the bar. MacLaren's Pub is based on four York City bars where Carter Bays and Craig Thomas used to drink, and is named after an associate producer of the show. They wanted the gang to sit in different booths for realism, but were told that filming would be easier if the actors always sat in the same place.
