What is your reasoning? Are you male or female ?
Do you go to bars alone ?

Nope, and male. I feel it's creepy for some reason. I like to go with friends and sing, gamble, and enjoy bar games a bit together. When alone I just feel odd and like I'm just creeping around watching everyone else have fun.

Male and I do go to bars alone when I want to because I can ?
See I hate being at home alone by myself mainly because I'm still not acclimated to this environment and sometimes I just want to go to a bar but I don't feel comfortable going by myself. I restaurant that is different I can go eat by myself any day but just going to a bar to drink and shoot darts or play pool by myself I can't do it it only makes me feel lonelier.

Once in a while. Gotta be one of those hole-in-a-wall dive bars where the local drunks stop by before heading home and have a screaming arguement with their wives. No one really bother you in those. Sometimes I just dont want to be home, but not be bothered by people either. That makes no sense, but idgaf.
If you go to a hotspot, fools think youre trying to get picked up.
See yeah I don't want people to get the impression that and I'm looking for a "Good time"

I have this fantasy where a Mark Strong (or Boredauditor) look-alike will come up to me and be all "What's a classy dame like you doing in a dump like this?"
And we end up eloping to Tuscany.
That sounds oo romantic "eyes flutter" ? Lol

If I'm on a bussiness trip alone then yes. Bars are not a place just to have fun, you can go to a bar just to sit and relax a bit.

Male, I do at times, mainly when I am depressed and/or just horny. ^^
I always end up meeting new people, especially women. It's like as if they were just waiting for me to get there. I can recommend it to every male, even those who usually don't go to bars. lol

I've never liked the atmosphere in bars, no matter how "upscale" some of them are, so I haven't been to one in at least 15 years.

I do because I live in a new small city and I don't have any friends. I'm bored. Want to be social. Just go for two drinks. I now know the guy who runs the bar pretty well and I met one guy friend who goes there a lot by himself too.
Posted by everlynnYou can come in as well was it just the alcohol that Drew UN or was it the atmosphere did you just feel comfortable there or did you just not want to be alone
When I was in my prime as an alcoholic I never went to bars alone. I had drinking friend's back then. I was also a loner drinker too. I guess this thread is for current drinkers. But oh well.

Posted by pisces4scorpioHaha ☝️️ Is correct I do love bullshitting with strangers but only when I go to bars not here ?
female and yes I do.
I like to bullshit with strangers.
Just like this place.

Posted by BuffaloBills28Same with me and alcohol, and the rare times I drink it, it's never more than 1 glass of wine, but usually 1/2 that.
Don't like to put alcohol in the body, only drink when it's like a special occasion. So no, not really. But the very rare times I do go, I don't go alone.

I am the same way but I think I just need a push to get me there. like I would love to go to a karaoke bar by myself but I am afraid people will say I'm just there to show off. Which shouldn't matter at all I don't know why am so self-conscious

Posted by ladylibra21lol just don't pay attention about what other people are thinking or saying. I remember going to this one bar and I didn't even know a single person and just within a month I knew everyone including the manager and they all say hi to me like I own the place lolPosted by Scorpio323OCPosted by ladylibra21lol the thing is I'm very easy going and I do chat with people I don't know that's why it's easy for me to go to bars on my own.Posted by MIIeFisk

Posted by everlynnPosted by ladylibra21I'd like to say all of them. Well maybe except one. It wasn't just the alcohol that drew me in. It was also the women in bra and panties giving lap dances and shit. There were some nights I was low on cash and couldn't slip any cash in their bra 😢 and they all just pass me right by.Posted by everlynnYou can come in as well was it just the alcohol that Drew UN or was it the atmosphere did you just feel comfortable there or did you just not want to be alone

Wild times I kind of regret that I never did anything truly crazy or reckless though

Yes, I go to bars alone. I'm female. I never thought twice about it.
My favorite spot looked like Cheers and I was a regular. This was a family joint that only got wild on Fridays. There was karaoke twice a week and I love to sing. I wound up getting involved in local singing competitions and won.
A few drinks, some singing, while blogging on here... I'm good.
I recently found a new spot near my house.
I like finding bars when I'm on business trips.

Posted by CopperDovesame. I don't even like going to bars even with my family. (family bar and pubs here, but no, no children there, just family members and friends)
I've never liked the atmosphere in bars, no matter how "upscale" some of them are, so I haven't been to one in at least 15 years.
hardly ever go but last weekend, me and my man and his friends and a family member came joined us at a nice bar/pub. it was really lovely atmosphere. I like the motorcycle and cars in the room, and the billiards all brand new, and memorabilia upstairs lining the stairway walls. I usually don't, or am not impressed by bars, but I liked the one we went to. I took photos too. lol And the food was deliciouis. there were tourists everywhere though. Different languages and rowdy drinking, yet happy kind of drinking from them. lol
kind of like this

Posted by MIIeFiskOnly dangerous if you are out of control but I see where your coming from cause op is a female.Posted by cheekyfaerieKnowing the bartender is both beneficial and dangerous. You go in just to have a couple of beers and say hi. Leave 3 hours later fucking trashed, fumbling with your phone trying to get an Uber.
For sure. But Milwaukee's a drinking culture and a bar is an extension of your living room culture. I can't go to a bar, in my neighborhood, without running into someone I know. Be that a patron or the bartender.click to expand

Yes. When I travel especially, I've been known to go to a bar all by myself.

yes...i also travel alone....coz WHY NOT

I've showed up at clubs alone but I knew people that were going to be there beforehand or was purposely meeting up with a club friend. I like to wonder off on my own away from my friend/friends while at clubs though..Don't know if that counts

Posted by Arielle83Lol ☝️️This is what I'm trying to say ?
How do you all travel without going out on your own?
Do you stay in the hotel/backpackers keeping to yourself like a gremlin in the corner?
Or do you need your hand held like a little kid?
I've had the wildest times being alone at a bar/club/party.
No compromise.
Plus everyone wants to know the chick living it up.
Posted by SofiaV87See wandering off is fine I can even dance by myself for hours but knowing someone is there that I know helps I just don't want to go by myself. I used to be bold like that when I was 19 or 20 but not anymore

Yea, I mean, I'd rather go with someone else but if I really want to go out to a certain club that bad & know there will be a friend/friends there I'll force myself to go knowing I'll have a good time. I have to really want to go cuz it's harder to motivate myself when I'm meeting up with friends opposed to going with a friend.. I love wondering lol

I moved to Toronto when I was 18. Just after I graduated high school and travelled to France and Northern Ireland on my own.
In Toronto I met a group of chicks who partied hard. They took me out a few times then I found my own scene.
On one of those nights I snorted cocaine with Wesley snipes.
YOLO.
I'm not into that anymore, but at 18 it was wild and fun.
It's all about living.

I'm glad that you understand, and very cool that you went to a place that felt good! Sounds fun. 🙂

I don't really like to talk so I don't
The only time I went to the bar regularly was when I was on a cruse, it was mostly to watch old people dancing, it was fun

Same. But not much anymore. I'm trying to pay off everything so I'm not in debt.

I fly solo to the bars. Always have. I go alone and leave alone. I go to drink beer and dance.
