    Default Am I the Only One....?

    ....That hates bars? Seriously, I have never liked them. Unless there's cool strippers inside. R had me go to one tonight. Bored out of my mind, feeling unwell, and having played video games for 30 minutes, I went home after an hour.

    I just don't get how it's enjoyable?

    -Overpriced watered down drinks
    - drunk assholes running into you, or in my case elbowing me in the back.
    -uncomfortable chairs
    -too loud music
    -BORING

    Fuck, they just aren't worth it to me. Maybe I'm a wet blanket. I don't care. I'm 23, so R is expecting that at my age he should be trying to keep up with me. But I'm very homebody-ish, like to relax, and like going casual places where I can actually speak to the person I'm with without screaming in their ear.

    And they give me a fucking headache if I didn't already have one.


    Anyone else?

    Funny because I'm in a bar on SW. Heh. But that's how addicted I am.

    I don't like bars either. I don't drink so that's one reason. I don't like being around drunk people. And I would describe myself as having very mild social anxiety disorder so I don't like being around a bunch of people I don't know and be expected to mingle. I do go to bars to watch sports and eat food though since they're some of the few places that are open late.

    i like certain types of bars.

    i fucking hate dance music / r'n'b clubs. too many sleazy guys, i hate the music, the girls are all so stuck up and it's so fucking pretentious.

    i love pubs though. i love live music, cheap beer... i just love dirty, alternative pubs haha. there's one alternative club here that i love going to, but it's really chilled out and has pool tables and plays awesome music.

    I'm the same way . I rarely ever go. Tonight I stayed home and made Orange Cranberry scones. I don't spend every Sat. this way, but I like low key stuff too.

    FTR I just decided I'd rather be on SW. I mean obviously since I'm here now. But really I think overall making money>spending money. I wish I could edit my post from the BlackBerry.

    I like clubs. I like some kinds of bars.

    I go out and socialize on almost night I'm not working, trading, or training late.

    Not a big fan of poshy, snobbish lounges, though, but I go to a few to experience that safari for its different merits.

    I don't like loud obnoxious bars or expensive snooty ones. I do like a good comfy pub though.

    Me exactly. Now if I'm out with a group of friends at a club, that's different. As long as I'm dancing and there's more going on than just drinking and sitting around watching other people drink and watching the available space in the room shrink as more people pack in----yeek.

    Anyone else like bars best in the early afternoon? I don't like to go to bars at night because they're too loud and crowded, but a lot of pubs have a really chill, relaxed vibe in the early afternoon and it's fun to hang out with friends, have a beer, listen to the juke, whatever. When K and I lived in L.A. we were permanent fixtures at Ye Rustic Inn and almost never went at night, it was our brunch/lunch spot. At night it was jammed with scenesters, but in the early afternoon you could stretch out in the huge booths and groove to Johnny Cash while you ate chicken wings and cheese fries... the life!

    I love going to a bar after playing hockey with my buddies. I don't notice who else is there, I just enjoy a couple of beers, some wings, watching the sports on tv, and tipping the cute waitress way too much.

    That's the only time I go to a bar these days.

    Same here. Hate bars with loud bad music and overpriced drinks. I like what I call 'dirty old men' bars. Not obnoxious with a couple of pool tables.

    Yeah, basically last night was the whole 'drink, watch people, and watch room space shrink. With obnoxiously loud music.' I mean, you had to scream to talk. Not fun, unless you're going out with people you don't really care to talk to but want to pretend anyway.

    What Yekh described sounds entertaining.

    every time i go to a bar i feel like i should be getting paid to talk to people (excluding my friends, obviously) for me, its like work wothout the money, so unless i go with a big group and snarl at strangers that try to talk to me for free, i'd rather not go at all
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I couldn't agree with you more. I just feel so burned out from hustling all week when I'm in a bar, I just suck on my drink and look totally hostile just in case someone should try to take up any social energy from me for free. I have to be pretty hard up to get out of the house if I'm hanging out in a bar, these days.
    I will say, pool halls are pretty cool. I'm totally into playing pool and getting drunk and guys tend to leave me alone because they're focusiing on thier own games.

    Im quite happy to go to a bar with music at a reasonable level, comfy chairs and somewhat reasonably priced drinks. I really like going somewhere where you can sit outside and they'res a nice view and you can just chill. I'm only 25 and starting to feel a bit like and old maid

    This actally reminds me, I was ont shopping with my mum today and some of the clothes shops we were in felt like night clubs. There was dance music blaring! Not exactly conducive to a peaful afternoon of leisurely shopping!

    I'd prefer a laid back, less crowded lounge type atmosphere. I hate crowds in general..

    I've worked in bars and clubs for so many years that they've pretty much lost their appeal. Once in awhile I find a good one...but in general they just give me a headache and make me feel like I'm at work

    I don't care for them all that much either unless it's to meet someone there. If I am eatting dinner alone I'll sit at the bar sometimes.

    I like small, high class bars with fantastic food, great service, and lots of atmosphere. A bartender who mixes famtastic dessert drinks with top shelf liquors, flirts with you just right, and gives you a drink or two on the house, just because you're hot.

    damn, not I wanna go out.

    anything else, yuck!

    Oh, with the exception of karaoke bars. I loves me my karaoke! I'll put up with all kinds of crap and crowd if I get to sing with my buddies.

    Bars are not my scene either. Especially the people who camp out all night at TGIF and Applebees bars.. talk about being at the end of the rope, lol.

    Oh please, I'm from Wisconsin. We have a bar on every corner and some in the middle of the street too. (Like, literally...even on residential streets) If I didn;t like bars I'd be fucked!
