How Often Do You Go To Bars?

Lately I haven't been going out to bars that much because I've been busy with work and vacation planning, but I used to go at least 2 times a week in the past. I guess I'm getting old.. :(
 
Yeah, same here.
Work has been taking up more of time lately.
Plus I don't see some of my friends as often.
Some chose to leave the country, some just became less close because of normal life stuff.

Anyway, I used to go out a lot. 2 times a week minimum.
These days, I'll be lucky to get a real night out every month.
I still go out for coffee and stuff almost every night though...
 
I don't much at the moment for a number of reasons: slammed for time, lack of good watering holes around here, and it just being easier to drink a cool one at home or mix up a nice drink after work. I wouldn't mind getting out a bit more once the dust settles though.
 
I can understand not making your way to the bars. I have been staying away from the bars lately. I got really tired of dealing with the drunken people around me and the constant fights breaking out. The only time I make my way to the bar is when I can go to a place called W. Wolfskill. Wofskill is one of the bars that chaotic people won't frequent. Because it's a cocktail bar, the partying is kept to a minimum. Majority of the people that attend are looking to have a nice drink and a chat. :)
 
I don't usually go to bars. I do sometimes go to restaurants that have bars attached though. I was in a bar once, years ago, called the Rusty Nail in Limestone NY. I don't have any idea if it is still there or not, but we just got out of there before a fight broke out...It was a little bit scary honestly.
 
I used to hang out at bars almost every weekend. However, in recent times, I hang out like 3-4 nights a month. I've found myself a perfect place or the sweet spot, whatever you wanna call it.

This is more of what I do. I tend to go to bars that are attached to restaurants. I can't remember the last time I went to a "real" bar. The Rusty Nail sounds like somewhere I'd want to go, but when you mention fights, it ruins it for me...ha ha. I will have to look it up and see what it's all about. :D
 
I only go to bars once every couple of months. I do drink pretty much every weekend but we always go to private parties or this time of year we camp every weekend. There is a lot of drinking done around the campfire. Its my favorite time and place to drink.
 
I am newly single and ready to mingle! I have been going out more lately, but it seems as though I'm going to the same old spots. I'm definitely trying to broaden my horizons for the nightlife. I think perhaps it is the particular places I gravitate towards aren't necessarily singles bars. I go to many "old man" watering holes for them to be too hip. LOL.
 
I've never really been big on bars. For one, you've got the DD issue and it's never fun drinking while your friend is staying sober. Then there's the price... everything is over priced severely. I'm too cheap to pay $8 for a mixed drink and $4 for piss water beer, plus at least $6 for a cheap shot and $10 for one of something decent. Just way too expensive for me.

Of course, I could let some guy pay for it but then that means he thinks I'm going to go home with him and he'll be up my ass all night. I'd rather pay for the damn drink myself.

I'd rather drink at home where it's safe, cheap and I've got a fridge full of food.
 
I tend to just go to restaurant bars. I rarely go to a bar where the bar is the main attraction. Back in my younger days I did, because there wasn't too much to do in one of the town's I worked in..but this area where I live really doesn't have bars per se anyway.

I am always the friend that has to stay sober. I'm glad to see someone being honest about it not being as fun as they'd like it to be. My friends are constantly telling me that they're fine with me remaining sober, but I can tell that it'd be a lot more fun if I was getting intoxicated alongside them.

The only time I find myself paying more for drinks is when the quality goes up. I go to a bar in my area that serves cocktails for $10-15, but they are completely worth it. Everything is made from scratch, which helps me be a bit more inclined to make the purchase.

I have not had much bar activity of late. Work activities have put a hold on some my recreational outings so I mostly do my sipping at home for the time being. I have to see if I can get back to basics where I can go out and enjoy a few drinks.
 
I agree about the DD issue. It is a drag and I feel bad for my one friend who has to sit by and watch everyone act all foolish. I wonder what would happen if bars had a ride share program. They'd be a hit!

Yeah, bars that give you discounted rides home would probably be really popular, although no one's stopping you from taking an Uber since they're everywhere or even picking up a cab, oldschool style.
 
I play a lot of pool, and it just happens that most tables in my area are in bars, so I find myself in one bar or another almost every single weekend. That's Fridays and Saturdays.

Ya it is not much fun when you are the sober one and you have to put up with a bunch of drunk people. They can get pretty annoying and hard to deal with sometimes. It is much more fun when you are one of them. We usually just cab it so that everybody can drink unless there is somebody is just doesn't want to drink for whatever reason.
 
I do not go to bars often, once or twice in a month. The main reason I'm not always at bars is because I'm not into drinking of beer all the time and do not smoke or like a smoking environment. Going by my own style of living I think visiting bars once a month is okay.
 
I definitely don't go to bars like I use to. In the past I would go to a bar that had bands and dance and drink the night away. Oh I had a lot of fun times back then. But as I have gotten older now I just enjoy listening to my music and having a few drinks at home. I probably go to a bar now maybe once or twice a year.:)
