I've always preferred small, neighborhood bars -- okay, dives. No, some are just more laid back, casual, lots of regulars. I met a really cool guy at one of those bars. (Sorry, Chessie, I couldn't stop myself. )

That being said, I'm not ruling out the possibility of finding someone at the bar who's decent, but most of the time they aren't.
IMO I think bars send out that kind of vibe when it may not be true. You can find a decent guy at the bar who is looking for a serious relationship and a guy who is looking for booty-call at work. It goes both way. I go to the bar once every two week to catch up with my cousin. Not looking for booty-call or anything.

I've been to many restaurants with bars and I can tell which ones are dives and which ones are good. Cheesecake Factory for example, has a great bar. Black Angus on the other hand, had a pretty trashy looking bar.

I'm more into jazz/blues clubs and lounges. Those are more laid-back and chill.

I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory! YUMMY! But you are right about it having a great bar.

Ok bad example. How about Luna? It's a Mexican restaurant and it's got a pretty decent looking bar. And some of the places in Vegas had nice looking bars too.
