Going to the bar alone?
    #19143035 - 11/15/13 09:45 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Do you ever go to the bar to drink alone? I'm 24 and I've never done it but I'm thinking about it. I've always gone with friends. It just never really occurred to me to go alone until recently, and that's only because my old friends are now moving separate ways in life or moving down a path I don't want to go down, so I don't hang with them much anymore. Do you sit there alone and drink before approaching anyone or wait to approached? Do you just walk up to people as soon as you get there and start socializing? What's your strategy? Is it fun?
Do you ever go to the bar alone?
You may choose only one

I do it fairly often, yes.

Though I also do it at bars that I'm regular or semi-regular, so I usually end up having conversations with the bar tender(s) or other regulars, or my friends show up and I kick it with them. Sometimes I go to places where I'm just sitting at the bar by myself talking to no one and just watching whatever's on TV. Maybe jump into a conversation here or there. I enjoy it.

I only go to bars with groups of people.
I am extremely introverted in unknown public places where I don't know anyone.
Therefore anytime I have gone to a bar it's just been for a few drinks. Except for that one time where I drank a few beer and a pitcher to my self, fucked a fat old lady(not from the bar) and walked home in the morning with wet pissy pants. :chugbeer:

It is. Sometimes I just don't want to be at home though. While I am relatively shy and don't talk much I still very much like being around people. Sometimes I just don't want to be around people I know. So I go drink at the bar.

I also don't have TV, so I'll go out and drink to watch college basketball. Streaming shit sucks.

I go to the bar alone from time to time, but only really to watch the game. Very few of my friends are sports fanatics like me.

Being at the bar alone can be seen as more normal than going with people. A wingman is conformity


A place where being alone is the norm for social conditions, at least once in a while, is if anything for the more "elite" socializer

Anyone who is really "alive" in this world, it could be said they are never at the same place twice, or the same town twice at least. So a pro-socializer could be at one bar in los angeles, then another bar in san fran cisco, then another bar in las vegas, then another in north carolina, then new york, then london, then france, then russia, then normandy, then oakland, then New jersey, etc.

It depends what type of reputation you want/care about, what ur goal is, who u want to be at what point, are u practicing ur game, etc

I was aspiring to be a player, learn the game, etc until recently, now all I can think about this fukushima shit and how i have to build a bunker

I just want to enjoy myself, have stimulating conversation, and maybe make new friends. I also like to dance. I'm not all that interested in hooking up with bar chicks. Though I suppose if it were convenient I would indulge.

To be honest, most of the time it sucks, or has for me. I usually wind up with a gay bartender hitting on me, or the place is dead empty, or I blow like fifty bucks on bullshit drinks and end up regretting it. There was the one time a couple cute girls approached me and sat down and talked for a while, but it quickly became apparent that they were just trying to scam drinks off of me- literally "so are you going to buy us drinks or not?" Fuck no i'm not, ya whore, the fuck ya think this is a charity bar?  I feel like I always end up just sitting at the bar waiting for someone interesting to show up, something to happen, and it never does. I just drink what i'm pretty sure is generic booze poured into nice bottles at a ridiculous mark-up.

It's chill if its a friendly pub where they know you, like every once in a while I'll grab a quick beer after class, and you can have a good time going to a show alone; but I personally find it much more relaxing to grab a 6 pack and enjoy it in the comfort of my own home.

Two questions.

Are bars more expensive than buying alcohol at stores?

There's no menu, but they line the drinks up and that serves as the menu, right?

Of course it's more expensive... how the fuck would they make money if it wasn't?

Some bars have beer lists, or wine lists, or drink lists. Some don't.

1)Yes, bars are far more expensive. I can buy a bottle of the "well" vodka for 7 bucks a liter but the cheapest any bar in town ever sells well shots is a dollar a piece, and on that night it is so crowded it's not worth going to me. it's at least 3-4x as expensive to get drunk st a bar as it is to get drunk at home

2) yeah basically tho most bars show what their specials are for the day and thats generally what I buy

I'm generally at the bar when it's dead, and I'm alone. So I talk to the bartender, play pool with someone who wants to, etc. I'll go out of my way to compliment a girl if she orders something I like, that's about it :lol: but I do the same if a guy orders a good drink, too.

I'll go with a friend or two if they got in a good beer on draught or cask, though.

So to answer your question Morrow, I would not go to a lively/crowded bar alone unless there is loud music playing.  But if I'm off work, out and about, during the daytime and I want to treat myself to a draught beer? You betcha.

who do play pool with if you go alone? I like to play pool but that's the thing, going alone I'd have to find someone to play with. I guess it wouldn't be that hard. unfortunately my favorite pool hall recently closed; i need to find another good one

Well I'm the guy who will shoot alone if I feel like playing and nobody else is :tongue2:
Playing both sides, sinking all in numerical order, playing 3 ball- you have three shots to sink 3 balls, the break counts as one.

What usually happens is someone sees me playing with myself (:wink:) and comes over to join me. And sometimes nobody does, and I still enjoy it :lol:

I used to be a major bar fly.  I'd stop in for a burger and a beer on my way home from work or out doing something.  From 21 to probably 24 or 25 I was in a bar at least 3 nights a week.  Then after that maybe a couple nights a week.  Now maybe one night every 2 weeks if I'm lucky.  I used to go alone a lot only rarely would it bother me.  But I don't have a license right now do to drinking and if I go to the bar it's because I'm getting a ride with someone.  I still wish I could just go solo sometimes. I like not having to cater to anyone,  just tune in and meet new people.  Seems when i go or meet up with people it gets clicky.  When I'm flying solo I get in with new crews after the loner weirdo factors mellows out.  I don't know... thats just me I guess.

I feel you, there's certain hangout places I like going alone cuz if I take my friends they kind of drag my down since, well... they try too hard to, like, "impress" other people when they are around me, or at least to "measure up", instead of just being themselves and being honest, and it gets awkward for me cuz I know they truth and to me they sound like fools just blatantly lying to strangers so they will sound more impressive. Cuz most of my friends didnt go to college and are either unemployed or have shit jobs and some are addicted to hard drugs. So when the topic conversation naturally flows into what everyone is doing with their lives and I tell people about what I do for work and my level of education, I guess  my friends feel like they have to measure up or they will look like losers compared to me or something. So oftentimes they straight up lie- like to an extreme level ("I'm in medical school" :kingtard:) And I simply refuse to cosign someone's bullshit like that, idc if you're a friend. So then I just end up being silent while they make some shit up and it's really lame. It's a lot better when I'm alone and I can just have natural conversation with new and interesting people who aren't full of shit

yeah man thing is I was put in a (then brand new) public school pilot program that gives instruction in spanish so I was with the same exact group of people from ages 5-13 and even in high school i basically stayed friends with the same people so I never had to try to make new friends until I got to college, i was just always with the same crowd. i appreciate knowing spanish but i kind of got screwed on the social aspect of the program. most other kids, i feel, were forced to learn how to make new friends more frequently than I was. I'm just now learning how to do it as an adult- at age 24, finally branching out from the group of friends i made at age 5 cuz well, they are not cutting it for me anymore. but there is still some sort of loyalty factor I can't deny no matter how lame I think they are becoming simply because we've known each other for so long

Luckily I was kind of forced into a situation where making new friends was a must. My freshman year of college I just hung out with a kid on my floor and some people he knew from his hometown. They were cool dudes, and they actually called me over the summer to ask if I wanted to fill an empty room they had, but I already had living arrangements at that point. Those arrangements were a fraternity house that also needed extra bodies to fill rooms. I only barely knew one of the guys b/c I had a class with him and I didn't fill out my second year dorm app on time, so he hooked me up with a room. Now six years later almost all of my friends in Ohio are because of that house. When I think back about it it's kind of wild. Everyone I've lived with since then, most of the people I hang out with, etc. either lived in that house or were friends of people that lived in the house.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I filled out my dorm application on time, or if I decided to live with those other guys instead of in the frat house.

This is how I feel about bars / clubs in general, or rather contemporary American society. Its harder to find interesting people now than it used to be, shit a lot of bars where they actually have live music won't let the musicians drink on stage.

Woopity fucking do

Obviously you have, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up. I'm contesting the "a lot" part of that statement.

Do you ever go to the bar to drink alone? I'm 24 and I've never done it but I'm thinking about it. I've always gone with friends. It just never really occurred to me to go alone until recently, and that's only because my old friends are now moving separate ways in life or moving down a path I don't want to go down, so I don't hang with them much anymore. Do you sit there alone and drink before approaching anyone or wait to approached? Do you just walk up to people as soon as you get there and start socializing? What's your strategy? Is it fun?




i only go to the bar alone
my strategy? be myself
is it fun? usually

not always though

Well I never noticed until actually playing on stage, hopefully it was just in the particular area since I haven't played any shows outside of there. Done some busking but until last year no shows

Funny you made that thread OP.

I recently went to the bar alone two staurdays in a row. I never go to the bar because there's something about paying 10$ for a beer that I dislike. Biut I did it anyways.

It sucked. I ended up doing sudokus in the paper.

First thing I noticed. There's not an abundance of single hot chicks like they show you on TV. People talk with people they come in with.

Second thing I noticed, bartenders and waitresses aren't chatty like on TV either. They bring the beer than they disappear.

Overall, not fun

I third this sentiment. The only shows i've been to where the band isn't allowed to drink are at hardeorex sXe (:rolleyes:) kiddie shows.  I thought most bands played for drink tickets anyway?

But yea, almost every time I've gone out 'to meet people' has been a failure. Honestly, I've found that people are nicer and more open and willing to talk at the coffee shop. Picking someone up at a bar is such a cliche that people put up walls, and drunk people are assholes anyway.

Wtf is sXe :lol:
Talking about bars where most of the people are playing classic rock and blues, but they don't let the musicians drink. Not cool however you cut it, the pay is usually about $200 for a gig

Like I said though, that was one area and some of the places I played they would feed you alcohol in one form or another.

Straight edge hardcore.

I guess I've been to some shows at community centers, usually hardcore shows, where they probably couldn't drink.

I'm sure these places exist, but they are few and far between.  The vast majority of bars allow musicians to drink while they're playing and will give them 1-4 drinks throughout the night.

Sounds good to me, was probably just the area I was in - too many churches in that town.

As for chatting with the bartender, of course not when they are slammed and you have to raise your voice when ordering. But at last call when they're closing up, or during the day, you can chat away. And if they still seem standoffish, the bartender probably isn't having a good day. Come back a few more times.
There is athe chance that the bartender is standoffish 24/7, but there's that chance with any person.
