What is the girls' favorite hangout place in "The Golden Girls"?

The story behind the answer

The girls' favorite hangout place in The Golden Girls is the Rusty Anchor. It is a bar in Miami that Blanche Devereaux frequents and eventually brings Dorothy to for an evening of drinks, music, and attention from the local patrons.

The Rusty Anchor is featured most prominently in the season-seven episode “Journey to the Center of Attention,” which originally aired on February 22, 1992. Blanche expects to be the center of attention there, but Dorothy surprises everyone by singing and becoming more popular with the crowd.

The place is sometimes loosely described as a lounge, bar, or restaurant, but its canonical name is simply the Rusty Anchor. It is primarily Blanche's favorite spot rather than an establishment equally associated with every woman in the house. That distinction explains why alternate answers adding “Lounge,” “Bar,” or “Restaurant” are less precise.
