i feel like drinking at a bar

5/17/2008 8:51:30 PM

only if you wanna be That Guy

5/17/2008 8:51:49 PM

That was me last night for like an hour

Killing time between a dinner meeting and the late night club crowd

It was actually pretty fun

5/17/2008 8:53:33 PM

only if
1) you're sitting at the bar and
2) there's a sports event on TV

5/17/2008 8:54:17 PM

or if

3) if you know the bartender.

I do it all the time. Actually my preferred way to start the night.

5/17/2008 9:17:49 PM

i used to go to the hotel bar when i used to travel for work

chances of success are 50/50

5/17/2008 9:18:28 PM

it happens all the time in bigger cities. go for it, you might make a friend or two

5/17/2008 9:18:31 PM

only if

1) you are a loser

5/17/2008 9:20:08 PM

I think the bigger losers are the people who only go out in groups of six or more

some people won't go anywhere without their posse

5/17/2008 9:21:22 PM

of course..i've done it before

5/17/2008 9:26:01 PM

'slong as you don't leave alone, you cool.

5/17/2008 9:26:34 PM

schlong

5/17/2008 9:27:05 PM

I personally don't like be tied to one person or several people for the whole night....which is what usually happens when you go out with people. When I start off the night by myself, I either see people out that I know...if I want to continue to hang out with them I do. Or I start to call people and ask them whats up and where they're at, and then I can decide if I want to meet up with them. And then every now and then I'll meet someone new at a bar. People who always have to go out with other people need those people as social crutches.

And again, it always helps if you know the bartender. Because you can always talk to him/her and they'll usually introduce you to other people that come into the bar.

5/17/2008 9:29:02 PM

If you go to a bar with cool bartenders you will be ok. (ruckus)

5/17/2008 9:29:53 PM

Depends on where you are going sumfoo1.

5/17/2008 9:31:11 PM

Yeah i don't know where to go here in charlotte alone ... i used to know the staff at almost every good bar in raleigh

5/17/2008 9:39:28 PM

I could tell you a dozen good places in Charlotte

what part of town

5/17/2008 9:40:18 PM

i'm in the midtown/cherry area but i'll walk to uptown dilworth and elizabeth

5/17/2008 9:41:27 PM

Phils tavern on 5th street is always fun

City tavern was fun but they closed down

East Blvd bar will probably be crowded with assholes

My favorite place up there is Jackalope Jacks on 7th

5/17/2008 9:53:48 PM

yeah i go there from time to time.. last time i got hit on by a gay couple though....

which i guess is a compliment of sorts.

5/17/2008 9:57:49 PM

sit at the bar, smoke cigs, and stare at whatever sporting event is on tv even if its bull riding or greco-roman wrestling

pound the first few beers, it'll take the edge off

5/17/2008 10:38:41 PM

Alcoholics do it all the time.

5/17/2008 10:39:13 PM

I'm that cat by the bar toasting to the good life

you that faggot ass nigga tryna hold me back, right

for a normal person, yes. for you, no.

5/17/2008 10:47:29 PM

Yeah but from your judgment point a normal person likes cock in their ass too.

5/17/2008 10:54:22 PM

oh snap shit just got real?

5/17/2008 10:56:17 PM

My suggestions would have been cedar st. or alexander micheals, but they are a bit of a walk for you.

How far of walk are you from plaza?

5/17/2008 10:57:03 PM

another vote for cedar st

5/17/2008 10:59:07 PM

their bothe about the same distance but i got cash so i can cabbbbb it AXM is awesome but tey're always out of the beer i want i've heard nothing but good from cedar but have never been inside..



matter of fact.... i've driven by it w/ begonias but never been in...

5/17/2008 10:59:51 PM

You may not be in for a good experience this weekend anywhere w/ NASCAR in town. (hence the reason I fled charlotte for the weedend)

5/17/2008 11:03:47 PM

true. i live about 4 miles from the track and it was murder getting home at midnight last night

5/17/2008 11:05:41 PM

i don't seee that many nas-tards ending up in plaza.... but maybe ... anyway i just called a cab i'll let yall know....

5/17/2008 11:06:17 PM

True, plaza and big ben would be good bets tonight.

5/17/2008 11:08:29 PM

I go alone every now and then... but I'm a girl.

5/18/2008 1:40:31 AM

and you know the bartender

5/18/2008 8:53:33 AM

I often enjoy drinking by myself.

5/18/2008 8:58:42 AM

I go alone all the time, go for it.

5/18/2008 9:03:21 AM

i go to bars all the time alone. you always end up meeting someone. when i'm out of town on business that's how i scored anything i needed while chilling with the locals.

5/18/2008 10:17:28 AM

It is also acceptable to drink at bars alone.

5/18/2008 10:28:59 AM

i didn't see much difference last night with it being nascar week

I went to selwyn's and the graduate...ended up getting a cab back into uptown around 1:30..luckily I know the bartenders at the graduate and stayed till 2:30

5/18/2008 11:06:16 AM

sir edmund halley's behind park road shopping center is one of my favorites, and their food is spectacular.

5/18/2008 11:35:50 AM

yes

especially if you play trivia and no one will go with you

5/18/2008 11:43:54 AM

I'll do this occasionally if I'm working out of town and the hotel has a bar in the lobby with a TV to watch ball games on. Otherwise, bars get boring to me.

5/18/2008 1:56:51 PM

5/18/2008 4:31:58 PM

so.... the hotel bar is a good scene?

is that why it is so expensive?

5/18/2008 5:16:08 PM

I think it's expensive for the convenience

if you're actually staying in that hotel that is

5/18/2008 5:17:38 PM

getting a dui while youre travelling on business is pretty taboo

5/18/2008 5:18:21 PM

Went to one one time.

We had dinner and a few beers, then went to bed. Most everyone else there was talking on cell phones and looking down at their drinks - if I wasn't with someone I'd have a hard time trying to wave and get their attention like a lunatic.

OVVEERRRRRR HEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEE I'M SINGLE

5/18/2008 5:19:23 PM

interesting point, ben

but what business would I have staying in a hotel that isn't walking distance from a bar?

time to get a new executive assistant cause someone is fucking up my itineraries

5/18/2008 5:20:09 PM

if you're in a hotel with a bar.. then you can probably walk to a non hotel bar.
