Root beer locations are still prevalent in the Eastern states. After the "influential" Jeff's recommendations soaked in, this Dog n' Suds Root beer stand was spotted in Whitehall, Michigan. This is the only one left in Michigan, so if you're fortunate enough to be in the area, grab a root beer for yourself and a few more to take home. Here's another classic Dog n' Suds sign from Charleston, IL. This
dog looks as friendly as ever. Frostop Root Beer Over in Chrisman, Il stands a huge mug of Frostop Root Beer for all to see. This roadside treat is very similar to the mug seen below.
What's this? It's a... a... giant MUG! No, it's Hannon's Root Beer, a local favorite in Valparaiso, Indiana. Sporting an enormous root beer mug, this is a roadside attraction at its best. Need some cool suds on a hot summer day? Grab a cold one at Hannon's. (Below) Another grand root beer stand still in existence is Allen's Root Beer in Coldwater, Michigan. Many thanks to Jim Emory for correction on Allen's location. The Allen's Drive-In was formerly a B&K Root beer, it has been in the Allen family for over 25 years now. My grandparents owned and ran it for 17 seasons and my parents have now owned and ran it for 8 seasons. It is seasonal as we open in early February and close in late October. We do have cruise-nights on Monday nights. We can fit 18 cars under our canopy and we provide full carhop service, complete with frozen mugs of root beer. Many thanks to Chris Allen of Allen's Drive-in for the above update.
The last XXX Root Beer stand in existence is located at none other than Issaquah, Washington (honorary Roadside Peek "East" member). This is a mandatory stop for all of you in the Washington area, if only to marvel at the stand built around a huge root beer barrel exterior.

Here's a shot of Mac's Drive-in in Waterloo, NY. This is a good place to enjoy a frosty mug of creamy RICHardson Root Beer!
Wadsworth, Ohio is home to this Root Beer Stand. The parking area looks like an inverted picnic table among other things.
Yes, it's the famous Stewart's Root Beer... the same beverage found in all of the store bottles of the same name. There are still Stewart's stands around, with this one being from the New Jersey area. Rumor has it that this was another "two-wheeled" turn.
The last one left of the old Richardson Root Beer Company, this Conneaut, Ohio landmark still serves root beer mixed fresh in the mug when the spicket on the barrel is flipped open. The photographer's favorite, Richardson's also serves good food.
Stewart's is one of the earliest drive-in restaurants. Stewart's is famous for their root beer and their waitresses that bring the food to the car, like in American Graffiti. There are still several of these Orange Drive Ins in NJ. This one is on Route 9 in Howell.
