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

Same.
I third this sentiment. The only shows i've been to where the band isn't allowed to drink are at hardeorex sXe ( ) 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  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.
