That's called two drinks in and everyone is beautiful.How do you not look awkward while doing this? Like not nervously checking your phone, etc.
Where do you live so I can make sure to never move there.I would have to leave my town to do this and I really want to.
Don't think we have happy hour in our state though.

they reinstated happy hour in Illinois last year....drink up and have fun!Girrrl I am trying to move. Illionoizzzz
Outing 6- This bar place was hyped up and I saw zero prospects. None. If this were a game of spades, there wouldn't have even been a possible.
Now I had to go look this up. I had no idea.they reinstated happy hour in Illinois last year....drink up and have fun!
Just realized that OP mentioned happy hour. I assumed the thread meant going to bars by yourself in general.Yea I'm confused about what people mean when they say 'go to happy hour' do they mean sitting at the bar during happy hour? Or is there something more going on?

Yea you gotta be a super extrovert to go alone to a bar at happy hour and be cool with it. I hate all the noise and bustle lol.
Much easier to ease into going out alone by going to bars at quieter times.
Now maybe a happy hour at a nice hotel bar, or one that attracts a slightly older crowd. I'd probably take a friend though. Just one, not a ton of 'em!

There are food and drink specials, usually, as Keen stated.Idk if i've ever been to the bar during an actual happy hour. They end so soon (before 7) and I'm usually still doing errands for the day.
But the bar during happy hour: are people usually there to mix and mingle? Is it a lot different than bars during non happy hour (which I go to)? Is there anything different than just the amount of people?
(And I don't think you have to be really extroverted to go to hh. Just not shy.)
Yep. Cheap food is a big draw.I go to happy hour for the cheaper drinks and food... Technically bars offer specials at time when nobody go to bars to entice patronage. From my experience, you will find many people who came straight from work at happy hour.

This is fine to do even if one's in a relationship correct? Just to meet people, expand social circles.....mmmmmayyybe to keep people on their toes? (Thinking about that wife competing thread lol).
Sure, long as you and SO are cool with it.This is fine to do even if one's in a relationship correct? Just to meet people, expand social circles.....mmmmmayyybe to keep people on their toes? (Thinking about that wife competing thread lol).
Yes! Good for you.Outing 7- Went back to the last place thinking that maybe something would be different. It wasn't so I decided to go somewhere a bit more upscale. There was a guy seated at the bar and I sat next to him. Totally not my type however we had some laughs. The whole time I was thinking to myself, I really want him to pick up my tab. I was trying some Jedi mind tricks. I asked for the bill and as I was fumbling for my credit card, he asked me if he could pay. . I did not deny his kind gesture. I gave him my number and we have plans to meet for drinks next week.
Now I had to go look this up. I had no idea.

Now that I think about this, this maybe have been the situation in VA or somewhere near here.
Personally I don't like happy hour when I'm trying a new place by myself. People go there in groups and stay in their groups. They don't move around and talk to new people. Also it's busy and harder to chat with the bartender. Then there are people constantly bumping up against you, trying to order from the bartender as you sit at the bar. That is the worst.
