Going to the bar alone?
    #19143035 - 11/15/13 09:45 PM (10 years, 3 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 feel like if I was just gonna drink and watch TV it would be much cheaper to buy a bottle and stay home

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
