Anyone go to a bar alone?

[KingGheedora]

I don't know anyone around and don't want to stay in. Wouldn't mind going to a bar but am very self-conscious about the stigma of going out alone. I rarely see guys or girls out at bars alone when I go out.

Tell me about your experiences going out alone, if you have them.

Can't view your profile - where are you? Maybe an ATOTer will join you?

I went out dancing last night with a friend - she had to leave at 1 and I still had energy to burn. I ended up staying until 8 AM - had some random conversations, danced, had a great time and got some numbers too (of guys and girls - that's the trick: TALK TO EVERYONE. If you only talk to girls you'll come off as a player while I prefer to come off as friendly).

Do it. Have fun and, remember, don't talk to just girls - try to meet friendly guys who will wing for you next time.

Used to when I travelled a lot. Are you single? You won't feel too self-conscious after a few drinks. You meet some fun people, sometime.

You are a guy? If so, then there is no problem going to a bar by yourself. I go to them all the time and gradually you meet people. I go to the closest bar to my house about three times a week and know basically everyone there. It's pretty awesome.

I personally couldn't do it, but fair play to anyone else that has and also ended up having a good night.

I've gone to a bar alone before...got 3 numbers...
Just talk to the ladies all night; no friends are around to see you get shot down

Tips:
-Always smile when going into a bar. Don't be creepy about it, of course. But look like you're there having a good time, even if you're bored and restless.. No one wants to talk to the bored guy
-There's always someone there in a similar boat - find the solo guy or girl and tag along, they surely will want the company because , like you, they're thinking about how going to a bar solo sucks
- Group theory.. Want to become a member of a group? Find a point of entry, usually the frumpy girl or the alpha male of the group. If they're peeking at the tv, comment about the game. Make a slight witty comment and then, with body language, become part of the group. It's actually easy. Especially when people are drunk

Woah .. that's a bit freakish.

Heh, I was just thinking about doing the same thing. I've gone out alone a few times - sometimes it's a good night, other times it sucks. Still trying to decide if I want to go out alone tonight, or just stay home.

Stay home and play WoW?

Its your call

I have gone to a bar alone to scope it out before I invited other people.

Also, I don't really get self-conscious about drinking alone either. If the bar had a cool bartender who knew how to mix drinks right and was social, I wouldn't think it wrong to go by myself just to catch a couple drinks at the end of the day -- maybe meet some other people too!

If alone, always sit at the bar not at a table/booth.

Drink a manly drink, no white wine or cosmos.

Dress appropriately so you fit in. No need to dress it up.
