Or the one who tells you the stories of when he was in the military and how he worked for the CIA/Special Operations/Navy Seals and saved the country.

Or the one who goes on and on about how his wife left him ten years ago FOR NO REASON AT ALL...

How do you feel about this? Do you go alone, or do you look funny at people who do?
No oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

The longer you stay at a bar, the prettier or handsomer they appear to be. No good will come of that.

Ever wake up and want to burn your clothes? Like that.

I think we're all guilty at one point in our lives to be talking to someone at a bar and order three quick shots because it's all you've got that night.

No, I never go to bars alone. It is not safe or comfortable to me.

I go alone , but it's almost always a sports bar. I am there to watch the game, look for other fans, enjoy the conversation. I am a big sports fan, so it is fine when I do this. Almost always enjoyable and I love talking other sports fans!

Before I quit drinking for the 557th time this past September, I used to go to bars alone. The bars here are mellow and I never had any trouble.

No.

I don't like bars, and "great bars, man" is like nails on a chalkboard for me (another thread where I got into an argument).

I have gone to pubs that have food. There is one along an interstate route between 2 major cities that I like. I'll get a burger, or fish and chips, and then either have a Coke (refillable) or a mixed drink (just one). The people in this particular place tend to be locals/regulars, so I have gotten into conversations with them. There was NO ulterior motive and these seemed like normal people with boring to normal lives, so that's why I was willing to converse.

So, bars, no. Pubs with food, yes.

Nothing like a good pub burger.

Yes, especially well done, and stuffed with swiss cheese, avocado and mushrooms!

I agree with you. I also go alone man. Sometimes I might go with my brother or his friends, but I go alone a lot. I like that feeling of being mysterious and talking to different people from all walks of life. It's a lot better than always going with the same people and never meeting new people or hearing new stories. I actually learn things sometimes going alone more than being with a specific group of tha same ol' friends.
