Have you gone to bars and clubs alone? I know going to bar is more acceptable but what type of bars are best to go alone?
 
You can't go to a club alone. That's just creepy. A bar, yes. As long as it's during the time when hard drinkers are there and not Friday or Saturday night when people are all out in groups.
 
For sherdog...Gay clubs and bars.

Nagged for being a negative Nancy!

I never really do it except for when I'm traveling and not with anyone. Getting drunk by yourself thousands of miles from home can be pretty interesting

Your right about clubs and I figured as much since there is no comfortable space you can integrate your self in. I agree with you on the bar situation. It really is better to go there between Sundays and Thursdays.
 
Never been to a bar or a club, alone. Way too uncomfortable. Far easier to interact with new people in small groups.
 
Once you stop caring about the opinions of others, social norms, and your own well being, it becomes a fun adventure.

I like to pretend I'm Dalton, scoping out the next bar I've been hired to clean up
 
I chill at the bar by myself on occasion and chat with the bartenders.
 
Lonely people need somewhere to go too. Technically the bar portion of the bar is for lone people. I hate those people that try and crowd out the bar. Go find a booth or table, or just go to your home and hang out. Why do you need to be in a room filled with strangers? You are just talking to your group.

As for clubs, sometimes the club is having a special attraction. I guess that can be an excuse. Or if you know others who frequent the club a lot, then you can just go in by yourself, and hope you run into these people from time to time.
 
When I was much younger I'd have a pinger and go out to dance clubs by myself all the time. Just dance all night, meet some new people and have fun. People are so preoccupied with how other people perceive them. Most of the time nobody takes any notice of other people and the ones that do are judgmental arseholes with pathetic lives.
 
Am I the only person here who has gone to clubs alone and ended up making friends with others, seems like I am. Then again when I talk about clubbing I'm talking about the times I went to a decent amount of psytrance events. Those events were wonderful experiences that I'll cherish for the rest of my life
 
I used to go to bars to watch UFC allllll the time by myself. I'm a personable dude. I always find people to talk to and bet with.
 
Nothing wrong with going to the bar alone to have a couple...I never gave a shit about the club though
 
I've worked in pubs, bars, clubs, lounges, etc for many years. Here's my rule of thumb, if you're a dude going alone...

- Clubs-never. I can't think of a situation where a solo dude gong to a club works out, unless you're looking for a fight with the roided up bouncing staff.

- Pubs and bars. These are good options, especially pubs, loads of lonely people frequent pubs. The key to a bar though is-be gone by 11:00pm on a Friday or Saturday, you'll stand out, in a bad way after 11. If you still want to do the drink thing, head to a pub.

- Lounges. Only if its a super high end one, and you're a rich, traveling, business type dude...then the staff and pro's will love you...for your desperation and cash.

- Gay bar. Guaranteed to get laid. Have a good time, and be sure to "tip" Ace and Gary.

It definitely helps and is worth it if you can really dance and are extremely good looking. Too bad I am neither. In fact most people who go to clubs are great dancers or good looking. They just stand with they boys trying to look tough.

It depends on the kind of place. I know people like you who have been at psytrance events alone and it wasn't a big deal.

For the vast majority of clubs you look like a total creep though.

What is difference between bar and pub?
