Is it cool to go to a bar by yourself?

Someone told me awhile ago that guys should ideally go to bars in groups of at least 3, because if you show up by yourself it looks creepy. I find it hard to believe anybody would pay enough attention or give enough of a shit for that to matter. Is this some kind of unwritten social more or is it just bullshit?

If I'm thirsty I head in, whether alone or in a group of 30 makes no difference to my thirst.

Not that I like bars a whole lot, I used to go out alone now and then. Clubs/raves/dance events? I'd go out alone ALL the time. I love flying solo.

Psst: The idea is to socialize with other bar goers once you go inside.
I usually do something like yell "Sorry I'm late!" at the top of my lungs when I come through the door..

nah lots of people go to the bar by themselves, just keep going to the same bar, then you'll meet the staff and never feel alone. We have a bunch of guys that come in alone all the time, I don't think much of it.

Going to bars alone is the coolest way to go to a bar. Whenever I am alone it is anly a matter of time before a nice lookin lady is sitting next to me starting a conversation.
It never happens when I am with my friends.

You need to have a high level of confidence to go to a bar alone I think.
When I was uhm.. manic, I had no problems going to a bar alone. Had a great time. But now when I'm 'normal' again I don't have the confidence and I'd feel uneasy.

I personally don't like going to bars by myself, simply because I'm not very social with people I don't know, so I feel awkward and withdrawn. But if you're good at meeting people and introducing yourself, then I don't see any problem with it.

Drinking the beer they have for sale at the bar helps with that problem.

Beer doesn't help everybody to lose their senses and fears. Doesn't help me much, makes me feel nice though. I only lose myself when I'm blackout drunk.

I find the best way esp if you are a bit introverted, is to have a few drinks before going into the bar. i find it eases the nerves and makes it easier to start conversations. also a good number of times i find i dont even have to start the convos. just go in, chill, have some drinks, and meet some people. its not wierd to go by yourself, i mean shit you go to a bar to meet people and be social, if it were simply to drink with people you already know you could do that at home for alot cheaper.

I can't fucking wait till I Can legally go to bars. 3 months until I'm 21. I buy beer at liquor stores, without getting ID'ed( I look, and sound, and carry myself like I am 24 or so) BUT, bars HAVE to ID. I'm so excited to be able to go to bars soon enough.
I will go solo, I love flying solo( like someone said) No worries, an open agenda, and most likely women drawn to me. Cause I'm so sexy

I would go alone. Thing is, I'm good looking, and just knowing that, and knowing how I get when drunk, would make going alone an instant lay almost every time. The possibilities will spring wide open when I turn 21. I can finally have random drunken sex, without all these church girls fucking me and then saying how they want to fall in love. And I already told them I'm not a heart breaker, so I end up turning down some hot pun-tang pie cause I stand by a moral code.

I'd just wanna go so we could discuss wooden swords, various chainmail options, and veenoms supply and demand. After that you could run off and sex up whoever you want.

I don't think it looks creepy when men go to bars by themselves. It's not abnormal and it shows that you have some independence. Now if you go in the bar looking creepy and staring at women, and using creeplike pickup lines yeah maybe then they will think you're a creep. I suggest just keeping to yourself because essentially it's not who you're with, it's who you are and how you act.

I go to bars with my friends i go to bars alone. If you are going out to pick up ladies it helps to have a dedicated and loyal wingman.
i normaly go to the farthest away bar i want to visit early in the night. So when 12 comes around and im half in the bag i can get to the closer bar a mile down the street from home. Then chillout there till two or three.
with all this fear stuff and yada yada I can relate a little.... But as fast as it eises it subsides more or less its just a momentary lapse in reasoning.... I recomend beaing aware that its nothing more then a sliver of a thought, it has no true relavence to what actualy is, see it as nothing more then an illusionary thought that stays around as long as you give it permision.

Yeah, I've been going to bars since I was 16 (the legal age for beer, 18 for destilled drinks) But no one in my friend group is a womanizer so it's hard to learn.

I've been going into bars since I was 13 in New Orleans. I found this old dude's license. He was like 40 at the time with a huge beard and blonde hair. I have black hair. It failed to work rarely and even then sometimes they'd give me a drink for having the balls to use it.

resurrecting this thread b/c I live in a shit town and my game is not working.
I usually go for the easy mark: a coworker, a classmate, AFOAF, etc... but I haven't met any girls in the last 3 months, and I NEED DAT ASS.
So I'm headed to the ONE BAR in town where all the people go. It's a shitty country/sports bar type place, with a shit ton of old rednecks, but I have heard a few people mention something about younger people showing up late late on friday night.
Want to hear stories about flying solo and how it went for you. pump me up guys- I'm trying something different tonight.

there is absolutly no fucking way i am reading all these responses to this topic.
if you are worried about what you look like walking into a bar alone, you shouldnt be drinking.
you should be working out those issues.
a bar is to drink, socialize, make friends, play pool/darts, hang out, have fun, meet people.
i walk into a bar alone at least 4 times a week.. dont sweat it.
