I am planning to go, by myself, to a bar on Sunday. In the past I had been to happy hours, but since I do not often hang out at bars, let alone going solo, I really do not know what to expect. Do you guys have any tips?

I go to bars on occasion alone. My boyfriend doesn't like the smokey atmosphere and loud music, and he's somewhat of a social phobic so I just go by myself.

There's not much to expect. Just a bar. People hanging out and drinking and smoking.

When I go alone I always just sit at the bar, drink my drink, watch the television (whatever is on at the time) and chat with the people sitting around me. I always end up making friends. And, yeah, sometimes guys try to pick me up or buy drinks for me but I always let them know I'm involved - just there by myself, relaxing and having a good time.
