The Birmingham bar and grill Paramount has made the list of the most popular bars in every state in America, which was complied by the social networking app Foursquare.

Paramount, located at 200 20th St. North downtown, received praise from Foursquare users for its cheeseburgers, cold beer and vintage arcade games.

Foursquare, which has an estimated 45 million registered users worldwide, is a mobile app that allows users to search for and share their recommendations for restaurants, bars and other nightspots.

The most popular bars were determined by user ratings and the number of visits to each spot.

Among the other bars on Foursquare's list of the most popular bars are Cypress Street Pine & Plate in Atlanta, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop in New Orleans, Acme Feed & Seed in Nashville and The Bulldog Jackson in Jackson, Miss.

Brian Somershield and Geoff Lockert, co-owners of El Barrio restaurant and bar and previous owners of the Italian cafe Trattoria Centrale, opened Paramount in January 2014 with their business partners Chris Cullen, Neville Baay and Ben Smith.

Paramount is open 11 a.m. to midnight Tuesdays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to midnight Sundays. To see a menu, go here.
