Just wondering which cities would be ok for a woman to go out to a bar by herself if she isn't looking to get picked up or don't want creeps around. If she just wants to go out and have a good time by herself or looking to make new friends in general. NY?
Why go out to a bar by yourself if you don't want to meet someone? Why not save the stupid crazy money they charge for a drink and just drink at home? I don't get it.

When I went out alone I rarely spent money in the bars.

She did not say that at all. She clearly said "If she just wants to go out and have a good time by herself or looking to make new friends in general."

Oh, I don't know....
Maybe just to get out of the house for a while.
Or to people watch.
Or to try some new cocktails.
etc.

You think spending "stupid crazy money" at a bar is dumb, but I think it is smart.
Do YOU spend "stupid crazy money" to fully stock a bar in your house?
I would rather try drinks out on the town than buy ingredients I may never use again...
I don't think it's a matter of the city, but what the particular bar is like. When I was younger, even into my 30s, there were bars near me where I would fell totally comfortable going in alone, and some within a mile that were known as meat-markets or lowlife hangouts. I could tell because within like 10 minutes a guy would start talking to me, and he'd bring up how he has to call his friend for a ride later because he lost his license. I swear, I've had guys tell me that at least 5 times! First, it's a dead giveaway that you're a loser and that this is a loser bar, but second, if you're trying to pick up chicks, you might hold off on mentioning the DUIs until maybe a half-hour into the conversation.
It's always safe to go into a bar alone when it's attached to a chain restaurant (like a Friday's, Houlihan's, On the Border, Applebee's etc). Now that I'm older, I like those if I'm alone. It's not a party-animal setting, and people have to be somewhat well behaved, because there are like, actual families a few feet away through a half-wall. I've ended up having some great conversations with strangers at those chain bars, without it being a pickup situation.

I used to go to the Coronet Pub on La Cienega in Los Angeles by myself at least a few times a month. I always had a good time and met cool people like John Candy or other actors playing in the theater next door.

OK, OK, stop browbeating me. Geez, I didn't mean to touch a nerve.
Go ahead and be that person who sits alone at a bar. Sounds like a blast. Nothing at all depressing about that.
