how much danger is that poor girl in, OP?

Only normalfags go to bars, especially nowadays.

>>10460326
i'd show you a pic but my webcam won't reach far enough away from my computer.

>>10460922
And what's wrong with that? Probably better off without people like you anyways

>>10460334
What girl? The bartender leaning against the wall? I don't know, sometimes things get a little rough. There's a gun behind the bar, but I've only ever seen the bartender pull out the baseball bat when things got a little tense.

>>10461125
Who uses a webcam anymore?

Anyways, go out and drink with friends. If you don't have any, go and make some.

>>10460326
there's a bar thats right by where old tiger stadium used to be that looks almost exactly like this. normally go to bars like this for pregaming or last call. not enough to spend the entire night there, mostly hang out for a couple cheap beers.

This is my favourite pub.
It's not my local, it's about an hour drive away. Once a year me and my friends go camping near it and stop in for lunch and leave 10 hours later completely drunk and short on cash.
Has good food, local beers, and a nice view of the river.

>>10463794
Which bar?
I have 2 places. One is cheep as hell. And has great food for the price. Pitchers of beer are the cheapest around and if you want to be a cheep fuck they do a realy nice happy our of free fish and chips/wings/steak tips I live in the country a bit so the fact i can walk home is a BIG plus. The other place is my work bar. MUCH more expensive. Has the best steak in town. Bar tenders know me and even ask my opinion on beer before they order. Still get drunk with the previous owner and the brand new owner.

>>10460326
Narrow, about 2-3m wide, 10m long.
Only seating for 8, but on a busy night people squish in shoulder to shoulder and we get 30-40ppl in sometimes.
When it's summer proper buy beers and wander around on the street in front of it, but taxi drivers get annoyed when we block traffic.
Monthly special is a double shot of vodka or campari with whatever we have left in the back of the fridge for $4.
I was a customer there for years and recently got asked to help out on weekends. Staff get free drinks and we're usually wasted by 10, makes it hard to count change and remember orders sometimes.
Never seen a fight or heard a raised voice in like 6 years of going there.

I like to drink in this bar if I'm in Brisbane. It's located in the central train station. I've missed my train a few times because I'm a drunk.

>>10462788

>And what's wrong with that? Probably better off without people like you anyways
What logical fallacy did this person just make? The results might actually shock you!

>>10465106
Poster is actually kinda interesting.

>>10465089
>Sit next to guy or girl at bar
>Ask what brings them in their this evening
>Start conversation about whatever

It's literally that easy. I have about a dozen friends I've met this way at my local bar, and we all hang out together when ever we see each other.

i don't go out because i have crippling anxiety so i just buy alcohol once a week at the liquor store and drink alone all week

>>10465106
Actually one of the most autistic posts I've seen on here, and I get that whoever posted this won't understand why but Jesus Christ this is some cringe shit.

>>10460326
Looks comfy as fuck tbqh

>>10467089
>Look at me I'm so alone and depressed
We don't take kindly to depressed fags here. Grow some fucking balls

>>10467121
i never said i was depressed i'm just socially anxious
the drinking is still staving off depression, at least for now.

>Step by step instructions or shut your fucking mouth normalfag

Note, this only works for smaller bars and medium size bars maybe

So 'I've done this at probably 25 bars over the past 15 years in Nashville, Dallas, Daytona, and Richmond

For the first two weeks, go to the same bar 2-4 times a week for a couple of hours for 2 weeks and order the same drink every time. Occasionally make small talk w/ the bartenders and just eye contact/nods w/ folk who are regulars (you'll be able to spot them quickly)

After the end of two weeks, the bartender will almost always ask if you want your regular drink when you sit down. At this point, you can up the chit chat with the bartenders and by week 3, by proxy of the bartender, you will start to get included into conversations that the regulars have w/ the bartender.

After 10-12 weeks, you will be considered an "acquaintance regular" and it's up to you if you want to turn that it to a "true friend regular" which will take between another 4 weeks to half a year or so depending on the people and such

Souce: I'm a turbo autist who has managed to figure out how to make friends, but it is planned and methodical unlike how it comes naturally for most people.....but with that said, I have friends all over the country and can walk into many bars and people will be there asking me how I've been and we will all catch up

willing to answer any questions or give advice on how to be an /r9k/ level fag and actually make friends

>>10467162
also, to add to this. I have found that your biker bars and dive bars are more likely to quickly take you on as a friend even if you are an autist who wears poor fiting polos/dress shirts than a "trendy/chad" bar will...

On the second floor in a moderately busy, small downtown district. Only beer (nice balance of craft and macro), wine, and smoking. The only food selection is bags of chips that I never see anyone eating. Inside and outside seating, great b-side rock music always playing, and the bartenders are bros. Only place I know to get a pint of Fat Tire for $3.75

>>10460326
Meh bars are pretty boring. I used to go to this autistic nerd bar where 90% of the patrons were either soyboys or unapproachable loud dykes, everyone played fucking magic the gathering, but if you sat at the bar, some interesting characters popped up once in a while. The bartenders were super hot, so thats why I kept coming back.

Bars are only fun if you go in at like 1am and already pissed out of your skull. I don't go to bars by myself anymore.

>>10467201
I've been to literally 500+ bars and have never seen anything like this....nigger, you are part of the problem without realizing it

>>10460326
It's a little quiet craft beer bar in San Leandro, CA called "The Cooler." It's small, comfy, has a great selection of beers on tap and in the cooler, play nice music, good scenery and killer Mexican food next door.

>>10467141
meh just grow some balls or kill yourself, we don't wanna hear about that shit.

>>10467216
Are you a retard? Can you read?

>Decent bars with decent people don't exist
>Stop having fun at bars since I can't!!!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!111111111


fucking kill yourself dipshit; I genuinely hope everyone you care about gets raped and murdered in front of you by a pack of feral niggers

>>10467224
but you're the one who initiated it
i only replied to the op by saying i don't go to bars

>>10467235
See: The logical fallacy chart posted above. I never made any of those claims. You clearly have reading issues.

Op asked what our favourite bar is, I replied and described what my go to joint WAS because I don't go to bars anymore. I don't see why this response warranted a keyboard stroke from you.

>>10467284
You went to a bar you hated because the bartenders were hot...you now, even more than before, really need to neck your pathetic self

>>10467235
Mel-posting, a classic.

>>10467308
>You went to a bar you hated because the bartenders were hot

>>10460326
Tiny little place leftover from the era when themed bars and restaurants ruled the land. They pour strong as fuck drinks made according to their own recipes but don't charge any more than any other bar. The place is always pretty crowded but I've never seen a fight break out yet.

>>10460326
that place looks like it was in a kavinsky music video

>>10460326
A shitty international/irish sportsbar/club that we only go to cause they've got the cheapest prices for beer before midnight, 2€ for a pint. There's tv's everywhere, barmen/women from ireland usually who only speak english, a decent selection of beer and a decent stout, a large dancefloor on the 2nd floor, used to have live bands play. The crowd's a mix of hostel backpackers on a bar hopping excursion, people who are there to see the match and get pissed, uni frats, nignogs/arabs, and randoms who want a cheap beer.

It's honestly obnoxious, but me and my friends are broke and we go hang out in front on the street tables and drink, smoke and shoot the shit away from the hustle inside. Been going there for so long we've lost count of the servers and bouncers we've known. There's the head barman who hasn't changed though and always serves us first.

>>10467119
It's super comfy. Comfy enough that I even once fell asleep drunk in the bathroom.

>>10467162
This is all pretty good advice, but in my experience it doesn't even take that long. But essentially, that's how I became a regular at my bar. I typically always have a certain bar where everyone knows me wherever I have lived. It's nice, almost like a second home. I always know I can walk in on any night and be in the company of good friends. And now that I'm a respected regular, new people respect me and want to get to know me. It's like having a neighborhood living room where you can just pop in and have a conversation with whomever you see. I'd fucking live there if I could.

>>10467162
There's so many drink options, which do i choose?

>>10460326
Mine closed down but it was the whole kitchen’s watering hole after work.

Pretty shitty dive.

One pool table, held up by a jack, free on tuesdays and Thursday. Regulars always played nine ball those days so games went quickly.

Only four bartenders and they knew us and our drinks and always had them poured by the time I had money out.

Cash only and only regulars could run tabs.

They made food but I’m sure it was terrible and came off a Sysco truck. My coworkers would always buy the prepackaged beef sticks and pickled eggs but I wouldn’t touch the stuff.

$2 domestic drafts. Super small bottle selection. $3 for most shots. Always got a round of tequila with wheels and then as many Budweiser’s as we were feeling.

Bartenders let us choose what was on the TVs.

Lots of regulars were also cooks and the regulars all knew us as the *insert restaurant name* crew. Bartenders and regulars got one or more of us out of a pinch multiple times.

So dark inside that even before dusk you would think it was night time if you were in there.

Still keep in contact with them. Shame it shut down.

>>10468202
Sounds like a nice place. I'm OP and I bet you would like my bar too. The bartenders/regulars/owners will always help each other out in a pinch, as I have many times before. They've even let me run a line of credit when I need to. And if someone tries to fuck with me at the bar, there will be a bunch if phone calls made and within 24 hrs everyone in the neighborhood will know, and that other guy will get fucked. It's nice knowing people who will have your back.

I once had a guy steal my laptop at the bar and the bar had it back within 24 hrs for me to pick up.

The bar staff are all cunts, the food and drinks are overpriced but it has a great atmosphere.

>>10467089
so do you buy a ton of booze at a time or just one big drink session at a time?

>>10464045
can't remember the name of it, but it's right by where they're putting that new park in. UFO factory (when it was open) was a different vibe, albeit a good place for cheap drinks.

>>10467162
>After 10-12 weeks

>>10460326
Bar I go to is kind of a hipster bar.
Mostly bearded tattoed dudes hanging out smoking cigs and talking about music.
I just like that they have some good beer on tap that isn't the standard coors/bud bullshit.
Also there are some qts that come in every once in awhile.

>>10460326
Pic related was my favorite place. They were evicted from the shopping center they were in because they drew a shifty crowd. It was the type of place where people would smoke weed sitting at the bar and cocaine residue was on the toilet tanks. It was comfy as fuck though and everybody knew each other. They had the online jukebox thing so we'd play good shit and use the phone app to troll the bar down the street by playing dumb shit on their jukebox.
Could still smoke cigs inside it too which made it even better.

>>10469989
Forgot pic.

There's a goth bar close by where I live. Sometimes I just wanna hear some music while I do stuff on my phone while I drink some cider. I've met many people there too and am friends with the owners. I always go there for special occasions like New Years Eve and manage to find a random girl to kiss at midngiht.

>>10468131
order something that is described entirely by its name: whiskey and coke, gin and tonic, etc.

>>10469940
Nemos, Mcshanes? Nemos for sure and maybe mcshanes run busses to home games. The work bar I go to has some nemo's conections and being able to ride the bus and not have to fuck around with parking down at Ceasars or Ford/Comerica is pretty nice.

My favorite bar has since closed but it was great. It was in a college town so always busy unless it was mid week afternoon. They had 81 beers on tap that were rotated weekly, great food, and free popcorn. Would usually go 3 times a week and try all the new beers they would get in. Bartenders were nice and talk to you and knew a lot about the beer they were serving. Place also had a lot of tvs and showed every game that was on and almost every booth had a tv over it so you could just ask for whatever channel you wanted. Man I miss that place

>>10460326
My house is better stocked than most bars in my area. I drink better, cheaper, and don't have to worry about cops or safety. I have access to entertainment, hot tub, and an attractive, willing partner. No reason to go out anymore, imo.

These places all look clean and decent, where I live the bar I walk past daily has stoners sitting outside and people with dogs, the inside is outdated, there's no food except for some snacks and is reeks of beer. They try to be this rocker joint but it looks horrible.

Other places are not bars where you meet people, they are like cafe's where food is expensive for something you might go to weekly and nobody sits at the bar instead they all sit outside and order drinks from a waiter.

itt: drunks and shutins square off in a cage match for the ages

>>10460326
I hate bars. I hate parties. I hate restaurants. I hate pretty much everything that I dont make myself.
I am autist that just can comprehend why would I buy food/drinks which I can make at home suited perfectly to my taste.

>>10460326
Mine has skeeball which I play a league in. They're always rotating the food menu, this skeesion is tots, but overall a fun place to waste time at

>>10472152
Then fuck off.

>>10471486
it was Nemo's. parking has gotten way worse since i worked at comerica back in 2010. i used to park behind that white warehouse a few blocks behind hockeytown and (usually) have no issues. if i were ever going to the pizzarena (which is unlikely considering how ungodly expensive it is) i'd just as soon park in new center and take the memetram down. or just park at my friend's place in SW and catch a lyft.

>>10472152
you literally just explained the answer to your last sentence in the beginning of it. you are an autist who can't stand other people making your tendies and dinosaur fries.

>>10460922
Shit that underage kids say

the downstairs bar at the groucho club

>>10472449
The sad thing is that there are overages people who think the same thing. A bunch if angry, bitter virgins.

It's small and cozy. No TVs, quiet music, expensive beer. Too much excitement on the weekends, but the most chill place to just drink and read during the week.

>>10460326
does my car count? cause i like to buy a 6 pack and a couple of tallboys and drink in my car. cheaper, the music doesnt suck, and the food is always good

>>10467162
But what if you're 21? The only regulars in bars around me are old, youngest late 20s. I don't want to be hanging around people like that.

It's in an airport, the drinks cost $15 but they're deadly and delicious

>>10468031
Sure thing, just trying to help people who aren't that good socially make friends in new places

>>10460922
That's the point Incel

>>10474212
That's never been a problem with me before. I'm 28 now, but most of my bar friends are in their late thirties or older.

My favorite dive bar got a new manager and are trying to make the place more friendly, but they're ruining it. They removed most of the dart boards, got rid of the pool table, and fired my favorite bartender.

>>10474212
I started drinking in a bar after work a couple times a week when I turned 21 and made lots of friends with people mostly much older than me. It has honestly led to a shit load of great opportunities in life that I wouldnt have had other wise, wether it be employment opportunities or getting shown around Detroit while there on buisness travel with a bunch of old drunks. As you enter adulthood expanding your social group is a nescesary skill.

>>10465106
>not knowing the difference between logic and rhetoric

>>10469955
sounds comfy. hipster bars have the advantage of not having lonely old man asshole alcoholics hanging around all the time (which is a bit of a problem at actual dives)

for me, it's duffs. shame the happy hour beer price went up to $1.50 though

>>10477085
Are you me? We haven't gotten rid of the details board yet, but the pool table is now gone and I'm pissed, as are a a bunch of other people.

>>10477591
This is solid life advice.

>>10471896
>itt: drunks and shutins square off in a cage match for the ages

audibly kekd

I really like the Irish style of bars. Mostly wood, usually pretty quiet without any music or quiet music. Mostly people talking rather than "partying". Usually decent selection of whisky, beer is good too.

Pic related, my favourite one while I still lived in Dublin.

so what you just walk and sit by a random stranger and start talking?
Wouldn't that make anybody anxious as fuck?

>>10478511
No, you sit at a bar and chill while sipping a drink. If someone sits nearby and start talking about something you are good talking about you might try to throw in a sentence or two when you feel like your input might be interesting. If the people respond positively they might be okay with you joining the conversation.
Read their body language, are they changing their sitting positions to face a bit more towards you? If so then they want you to say more.

Sure, sometimes you might meet some people that will tell you to fuck off or something, and that's just an occupational hazard. Don't worry about it.

>>10478511
>we have come to this point

>>10478558
im actually 20 you mong

>>10460326
Needs a pinball machine.

>>10478558
I think its worth mentioning at this point... If the bar tender leans in and gives you a tip or 2 on your social interactions, understand it is his show. The staff is there every day and will normally not want you upsetting the flow with the usual customers if you truly don't fit in. Don't act like one of the occasional sperg posts about treating the staff like shit and tip ok from time to time and you might pick up some pointers. If you don't fit in, go some where else. I truly believe that some of you fuckers aren't just larping as autists and shouldn't leave the warm embrace of your mothers bosom.

>>10478561
And still haven't developed social skills. Home schooled by any chance?

>>10478582
nope public school
i moved schools after freshman year and became a social outcast

>>10478623
Whelp, now is your chance to not be a fucking wizard. Just go and have a drink. If someone strikes up a conversation and you have anything to add great. If not, don't be an awkward fuck. Keep your fucking phone in your pocket. Try to learn about a sport or 2.

>>10478641
>Try to learn about a sport or 2.
What horrible advice. If someone doesn't have the slightest interest in sports and "learns" about them just to be able to talk to people that's gonna be horribly awkward and tiring for that person and ridiculously transparent for the other side.

>>10478652
>Go talk about pokemon and keep being your own unique and special unicorn

Ok, who is spouting shit advice here?

>>10478652
to be fair
sports are about the only thing normies and normie old people will talk about at bars probably

>>10478662
Why do you have to jump to such extreme examples? Or right, because your argument is shit. There's plenty of things a single person is interested in, and you can always find some common ground with others without having to pretend to like things they do.

And even if you don't like something, a sport for example, you can still turn that into an advantage, since you can ask someone questions about their favourite sport and the will happily oblige you with a torrent of thoughts and facts. You can learn about it and have a conversation about it without having to pretend you are a fan yourself.

>>10478668
Nonsense. The standard topics also include:
- work
- taxes
- shopping
- movies
And once sufficiently drunk:
- societal ills
- politics
- religion
- life purpose

I think your expectations of normies are too low.

>>10478677
>pretend to like things they do
I meant "they don't". Excuse me, third beer typing instead of me.

>>10478677
thanks anon
never really thought of it like that

>>10478703
In general, if you are bad at talking focus on asking questions. People naturally like a good listener, and if that listener also asks good questions they are drawn to them even more. Everyone loves talking, anyone who enables that is a potential friend, and hell, you might even learn something interesting from time to time, since some people can be wise, if you get them to talk about things they know well.

And truth be told you are(as I am) not that interesting to begin with. So instead of struggling to say interesting things to push away by just a bit the awkward silence simply stop yourself and try asking some questions. It's a hard skill to master for some but the better you are at listening to others the better you will become at picking the right things to say at the right time.

Fuck me. The closest bar here is a La Seniorita, Applebees, or Buffalo Wild Wings. The bartenders don't know how to make any drinks and they are sorta expensive in my opinion. I miss the two dollar pichers

>>10478734
Teaching a bartender your favourite drink is a great way to get to know the staff.

>>10478741
Yeah, good point. I'll try it. At least the bartender at Applebee's was cute and friendly and seemed to know about good wiskeys.

>>10478734
What hell do you live in with a la seniorita?
The only towns that have those have MUCH better options than the chain hell holes you listed. If you are in Emmett county especialy you need to try MUCH harder.

>>10478734
I dunno about La Senorita but the other two are sure as fuck not "Bars" in any traditional sense.

Those are first-and-foremost restaurants. Find a place that's first-and-foremost alcohol, assuming they even serve food at all.

A place called Kennedy's in San Antonio. It's an Irish pub mixed with a sports bar. Quiet during the week, pretty lively on weekends. Solid bar food, and the crowd ranges from 25 to about 40 or so

>>10460326
Lots of rotating taps. Sports always on. Pull tabs. Free popcorn. It's pretty chill

>>10478855
Beware of the self serve free popcorn. The running joke is that they put these machines on the way to the shitter and a startling amount of people never wash their hands in a bar. You can fill in the blanks from there.

>>10477085
That happened to a place down the road from me. They tried to make into a music venue or some shot. Flopped after a couple months when everyone flocked to the other dive bar down the road

>>10478866
Eh I havent gotten sick yet

>>10474181
I have a buddy that does this. he parks across the street from the bar and gets hammered in in his car listening to music. then he goes to the actual bar after he's already drunk.
calls it the car bar.

>>10479911
I used to drink at this bar with a smoking area out the back I'd park my car near the smoking area and have a cooler full of homebrew in the trunk.

I'd go into the bar and buy one beer and the rest of the night I'd just keep topping up my beer with homebrew from my car.
Nobody ever caught on to me

>>10467162
>making friends with a bunch of drunks

>sociopath

I understand how the behavior is very similar to a socipath, but I enjoy being around people and having fun with them....just don't know how to naturally and have mimicked what I've seen "Chad's/Normies" do...

The people I become friend and acquaintances with, I generally care about, and often helped them out in the past to great detriment/sacrifice without expecting or wanting anything in return....other than their friendship

Neighborhood joint where my buddies and I go every Sunday to watch the Lions, that was opened in 1946 (thus the name) and was later bought by NFL offensive lineman and Warren resident, Joe DeLamielleure and now run by his niece and there’s the associated Victory Smokehouse smoked meat restaurant (operating out of three 20’ shipping containers in the parking lot).

I also like Kuhnhenns brew pub just up the road but haven't been in a while, as my friends are too cheep.

>>10480667

They’ve also got a much larger joint on Groesbeck with a kitchen and some good food (the brew pub just has pizza) but I like the old place better.

>>10478578
>if the bar tender leans in and gives you a tip or 2 on your social interactions

Has this happened to you? You have no right to call other people autists if you have bartenders regularly telling you to stop harassing their customers.

I'm asian(no hate, I come in peace) and I enjoy the asian bars/clubs/karaoke that is offered around the city. I enjoy taking a group of my friends and going out to have fun in our own little private room with servers and karaoke.

>>10480693
No, but I've watched him tell people to get the fuck out of the bar. Don't want to leed the neet's to the slaughter of a pissed off bouncer or kitchen guy fist fucking them in an alley because they can't take a hint.

>>10479911
Then how do you get home?

I never go to bars because I would have to drive and I don't drive good when I'm sober so I drink at home because I don't have to drive back drunk..

This place in Oslo I like to go to whenever i'm in the center.

It's actually one of the better bars in Europe, the bartenders are nice and charismatic, other staff are very professional, they have a small nordic themed cocktail menu, despite being a higher end establishment their prices are very reasonable since they distill many of the spirits they use on-site.

If i'm not feeling cocktails they also have a cider garden and upstairs a tap-tail and beer bar.

>>10481845
Take an uber

>>10481845
Bars are extremely expensive. Driving to the convenience store and coming back is minutes, you grab your alcohol when you want, and there is no further driving.
If you EVER start a business, sell alcohol. Retards pay 4x the amount for the same shit because they're in public.

>>10479940
>>10481843
im also curious. theres a parking lot behind my house so i can easily stumble my way home. sometimes the people who live in their van like to join me and we talk about random shit. tho i think they "moved out" because they left their van there and i havent seen them in a while

It used to make me anxious, but not anymore. Practice enough and it will be no big deal. Now I can go to my bar, sit next to anyone and strike up a conversation. Get over your autism.

as already mentioned, irish pubs are the comfiest; only competition are a few small (almost always half empty) pubs I've been to in Berlin

pic related is my favorite in Amsterdam, Mulligans Irish Music Bar
they have a tiny concert corner and you get all kinds of nice music there, and if the tv's are ever on, it's for the hurling championship
doesn't get overly busy, people are chill, no "partying" idiots
only downside is that it's not that cheap but then again nothing is in Amsterdam...a pint is like 5 or 6 euro
and I think it's actually a good thing that they don't serve food
afaik it was established by an irish lady and all barmen are irish, and lots of irish customers too

>>10481852
Dont talk about HimKok. We're full.

>>10482376
Never seen the place full! gotten a bar seat every time except when choosing booths with more than one friend... that said I do mostly go on weekdays and pretty much at opening time

oh and since I mentioned Berlin, a great bar was Zyankali http://www.zyankali.de/
it's super dorky, looks really weird, the main dude behind the bar (might be the owner, pic related) looks like a mad scientist, and the menu is simply humongous; I'm not much of a cocktail dude but everything I tried there (5 cocktails) was awesome
especially at night it looks really awesome, neon lights of all colors, aquariums, and the music and atmosphere are v good
and the prices are pretty decent, most of the stuff is 10-12euro
if you're ever in Berlin, I can't recommend this highly enough, was a great experience

>>10465106
dude, he just insulted you, he wasn't trying to argument anything.
fucking autists man

never been to a true bar
at most I've just been to restaurants that has a bar
so do i just go in sit down and the waitress will come to me, or do i go to the bartender and order then take it to my seat

>>10482524
he insulted because he has no actual argument, dumbfuck

>>10471576
That place wouldn't the old MacGregor's on Maple would it?

>>10482568
it depends anon, it can get very complicated, and if you fail to appropriately assess the situation, consequences will never be the same
but in most cocktail places someone takes your order, in most bars that don't serve food you just get drinks from the bar
when in doubt, go to the bar, worst case they'll send you back

there, anon's guide to bars and pubs

>>10460326
why would i go to a bar when i have no friends anymore?

>>10467284
You said bars are boring and you based it off your one bar experience baka idiot

>>10460326
My favorite local bar is down the street. It's an old country-themed bar on top that serves kickass food and a club on the bottom floor with pool tables, dancing tables, lounge furniture, color-changing tables, and a dancefloor.

My favorite bar of all time is in Kansas City, and it is NOT Harry's Country Club.

>>10482788
to drink your sorrows away ofc
desu I sometimes like to go to a quiet comfy bar with easy low-volume music and read while sipping from a stronger beer

>>10482878
>Kansas City
Hey, hey, hey, hey

AUTISTS DON;T GET SOCIAL SUBTEXT SO THEY ASSUME EVERYTHING IS SOME SORT OF DEBATE

It's called "drunk driving".
I don't recommend it.

>>10465106
>using a /pol/ image and acting like a total autist
What a surprise!

These are the "people" who browse /pol/ and voted in our current president.
Scary to think about how many there actually are out there. People with autism should not be allowed to vote.

>>10460326
theyre all gone here in montreal, except for overly kitchy ones themed after irish pubs and yet owned by chinese, indians, and 666th generation french canadians

>>10482568
Can't you figure this out on your own? How stupid can you possibly be?

>>10483016
>tfw you will never drive because a license is like 1000$ here now and cars are bizarrely expensive as well

>>10482788
I'd say to make new ones, but bars haven't been for that since about 2013 or so

in fact, I distinctly remember, I went to basic in summer 2014, and before that, it was already hard, but passable. even on the one weekend free where I came back to town, it was iffy, but I chalk that up to a sudden change in scenery. but after that, it never got easier, everyone's on Tinder as a friend-making thing instead of a smashing service now, Meetup and Friendster have had resurgences, I think people just genuinely only make friends online these days. the era of the singles bar and random pool/darts/street fighter game are gone, replaced by what are essentially dating apps, so no one goes to a bar looking to meet people anymore

even my local gaming lounge, which used to have arcade cabinets loaded with fighting games and arcade classics but few or even no singleplayer games, it was a prime opportunity to meet people since you'd have to play necessarily 1v1 games, probably while drunk otherwise the proprietor would rightfully boot you for not being a paying customer, that shit is gone. they took out the cabinets, because people are unwilling to meet new people in pubs and lounges now. the culture has changed and it has definitely gotten harder to meet new people

even pool tables, places known for pool have started getting printed felt. it ruins the game of pool and anyone who wants to play pool won't play on those, but they're fantastic talking pieces for people already on dates.

>>10481843
there are many pieces of shit in this world who drive after having quite a few drinks
some of them even think it doesn't affect their driving

however, if the place you're going to has a public transport connection to your home area, you can drive to the pub, get hammered, go home, and pick up your car the next day
some friends of mine do this if it fits their schedule for the next day
I doubt that's the case in most place in muttland

>>10479911
here in canada we call this "Pre-Gaming"

>>10483111
people drive bad enough sober, I think I'd fit in driving drunk. only change is i'd probably blast some Death Grips a little lower volume

>>10483125
I can't even tell if you were trying to prove my point or just takin a piss
either way, "blasting" some death grips is yet another big reason why it's illegal to drive like a piece of shit i.e. drunk
can't even hope they die because odds are they'd take others with them
...unless there's a way to get drunk drivers to kill eachother!!

>>10483133
>...unless there's a way to get drunk drivers to kill eachother!!
local circulation is only allowed if you're wasted, and you have sobering-up checkpoints attaching to on-ramps to the real highway. That way, the sober need to take the bus (which is more efficient) and no one will EVER even be allowed onto the autoroute in the first place unless they're cleared by breathalyzer.

Here we go, I've just solved all of transit forever. No need to thank me. :^)

But also, we import some finns to staff the driving schools, and more stringently uphold winter tire laws. So instead of being trained by indians who know all about fuel economy but nothing about weight transfer, every new driver comes out of their 1000$ course giving Colin McRae's zombie a run for his pounds-sterling.

>import some finns
bless your heart anon, the world is now a better place; although we'd need them to import them to a diff place than the states but it's k as long as there's enough finns for all
that, and I got trips AND dubs in a single thread
next to a last day at work before changing jobs, today can't get any better

There are still nice bars where you can go to make new friends. They have getting more and more rare, but you can still find one if you know how to look. I'm op and mine is a great place to make friends or find a lonely girl to hook up with.

>>10467077
>>Sit next to guy or girl at bar
>>Ask what brings them in their this evening
>>Start conversation about whatever

>find out we have nothing in common and I can't stand how much he talks
>the bar is too loud to hear anyway
>his breath stinks
>why can't I just die?
>how he wants me to drink more than I can handle
>I have a headache
>how do I get out of here without having to make up excuses?

I fucking hate people

Some of you probably know it.
