Are there still bars out there that don’t carry a single craft beer or a beer not made by one of the macros? I just never find myself in these types of settings and was wondering.

The Moose Lodge in the town I grew up in has 1 of the 5 draft lines dedicated to craft beer. I know this because my dad tells me every time we talk on the phone.

One of the largest "craft" breweries in town makes a crappy lager and a few lame others; they also make many good beers.
The bad ones are available in a large number of bars.
This scenario would be included in your description, but for me it doesn’t qualify as "craft beer".

In Great Britain we even have bars that do not sell Cask Ales, so the answer to the question is yes.

Not everywhere, but in many places, bars would have to go out of their way not to serve at least one craft beer.

In this part of the world there are more bars which don’t serve kraft than ones which do.

Cities outside of America,cities not in "first world countries",sometimes there are more w/o then with.
Buy a ticket somewhere!

Still a bunch around Louisville without any craft beer; some even within a short walk from our better-known establishments.

Plenty of places like this in my town, but they are becoming less common. Most will at least have Sierra Nevada Pale or Dales Pale.

Quite a few pubs & bars in my town of 80,000 people are proud of their total and utter rejection of anything perceived as ’craft beer’, ’modern’ and not dispensed via cask-conditioned hand-pull. Bottles of shit, sticky-sweet, mass-produced ’cider’ that goes against everything they stand for is perfectly acceptable though.
