Do you like going to restaurants/bars by yourself?

[Anonymous No.16014012]

Restaurants sure, bars, no. Why drink in a loud, obnoxious bar, paying $14 for shitty watered down drinks when I can watch the playoffs at home, in peace with my kitty, pouring my own strong drinks.?

They say drinking alone is a slippery slope. Having ONLY drank alone for half a decade, you might as well use the drug as intended.

I like to eat my food with my earbuds in listening to music so yes. Also i can slurp or get things on my face and it doesnt matter. I don't go to bars alone why would you do that? you can buy a drink at a store and sit somewhere nice.

I used to travel a lot for work. Going to restaurants alone becomes no-big-deal after a few times. I would usually sit at the bar if they had one, but a table worked just fine.

Going to a bar (as in not part of a restaurant) alone is sad. Just buy a bottle and drink it in your hotel room.

i've read that people who can't usually are not too bright or have problems socialising. i actually don't mind but people who are told not to go by themselves due to disability are often jealous and say very inappropriate things if they ever see me.

once I went to a Rax’s by myself and I was sitting in the solarium just enjoying my roast beef sandwich and some little girl waked up to me and said, “Where’s your family?” and I just broke down and started crying right there

It is, and can ruin lives the same way as other drugs do

Restaurants are nice to go by yourself, as long as they aren't crowded to begin with.
I used to go to cafes on weekend mornings, right when they opened so nobody else was around. I'd sip iced coffee and enjoy eggs with toast or a sandwich, just enjoying the quiet atmosphere. I miss those days.

Going to a restaurant alone isn't a big a deal as people make it out to be. Everyone's gotta eat.
Just sit at a bar top if you're real against the idea, they're meant for a single person per spot obviously.
If the restaurant has outdoor seating, it's even better.
Nothing like enjoying your meal with the warm sun beaming down on you.

Bars alone I personally don't see a problem with, depending on the bar.
Dance/club bars it's sad, trendy bars it depends on the day, and sports bars no one cares, as it's usually older men drinking alone watching a game anyhow.
And if it's a bar & grill the restaurant mentality applies again.

Don't forget how much car exhaust, pigeons, and bums begging for your food adds to the ambiance.

Love it. One of my favorite local spots pre-pandemic was a chinese buffet that was booming during lunch and dinner, but always had a nice quiet stretch between 2-4. Once or twice a month I'd juggle my work schedule and then grab whatever book I was currently reading and go enjoy a nice, quiet lunch with great food with the murmur of conversation and the clink of utensils as background. Very soothing.

nibba, around here restaurant and bars have been closed 11 months out of the last 13th months. I could kill in minecraft for a nice pint and some banter with the boys.

I like going to quieter bars in my neighbourhood to read a book or newspaper. I also really like chatting with bartenders and other people who sit at the bar. It's very relaxing for me. I generally get out before the nighttime crowds start to come, though.

I go to McDonald's at least once a day and am always alone. It's no different than every other waking hour of my life.

[Anonymous No.16014576]

eating around others ruins the food for me. i pick things up from restaurants though because delivery services are for chumps and i don't want those people coming to my house. you know exactly what i mean.

also i do go to a bar alone but i play arcade cabinets there and talk with some fellows sometimes.

I like to go to my local bar alone but I don't know any of the bartenders or regulars' names and I just look at my phone at the bar.

I highly recommend chatting up your bartender. Every bar I've done that, I've gotten free drinks. And one bartender even got me and some friends into a "cool" bar without having to pay cover.

Says the guy drinking alone. I've lived that life. Its WAY more sad than drinking alone in public, not giving a fuck about what people think of you.

I went to bars alone before gf. Good way to meet new people and occasionally hook up with some slampig but most nights were uneventful. Sometimes I'd run into someone I know and they'd invite me to tag along.

[Anonymous No.16016728]

>>16014002
sometimes
it's nice to play darts by yourself for a bit of practice or to just chill and read a book.
also it's the bartender's job to entertain you if you go to a bar alone, so sometimes I like to sit at the bar, get to know the staff etc.
through them you meet the regulars and the locals.

I don't drink, and I hate the dine-in experience at restaurants. They never have vanilla coke unless they have one of those fancy touch screen 4 million flavor combination fountains. I hate not being able to get my own refills. I hate having to tip. Even when I'm with other people I wish we could order our shit to go. I often just get pizza or chicken wings for takeout and prefer to cook whenever I'm not in the mood for those.

lmao tfw you can't even go out cos u don't have enough money to solo it on a club, not enough nice clothes to show your face at a trendy or expensive bars, not enough money to even go to a sports bar without complaining about having to pay 15 a pint.
