- Don’t expect to meet the love of your life at a bar. And if you do meet the love of your life at a bar, what kind of person are you?
- Alcohol makes you funny, angry, sad, sleepy, or argumentative. But really, it doesn’t make you do anything; it was all there to begin with.
- A lot of bouncers aren’t assholes in real life. But at work, they sort of have to be.
- It’s just dancing.
- It’s a nice gesture to buy somebody a drink, but it doesn’t mean they owe you anything.
- There is definitely a point when you are too old to go to bars and hit on strangers. I know it when I see it; I just hope I’ll recognize it for myself before its too late…nobody wants to be that old guy in the bar.
- I’m sorry I bumped into you. It’s crowded. Chill out.
- X(many members of table)*Y(hours that group has been at bar drinking)=Z(amount of money the last two people will have to pay to cover their deadbeat friends at the end of the night).
- Why don’t you ever meet nice guys when you go out to bars? Because you are not a nice girl. Sorry.
- Bars are best when it’s you and your friends. No pretention. No need to impress. No aggression. Just “good times, good times”. That’s a thing people say, right?
