I travel for work a lot. I usually hit up a pub or bar in the evenings for a couple of pints, a sandwich, and random conversations with locals. I've never gotten any weird looks.

Only on business trips. I'd prefer to have a few drinks at the hotel bar and talk with the other travelers than sit in my room. I've met a ton of cool people and we always talk college football.

I've sat at the bar at the hotel when travelling for work. I'm not a huge fan of it because I cannot just sit there and wait to strike up a conversation. After about 2 minutes I'm bored and digging through my phone for something to read or something like that. Then I come off a little anti social. But out of the 4 or so times I've done it, I had a pretty good shot at hooking up if I wasn't married. There were definitely girls in the hotel bar looking for a man to show them attention and they approach you so you really don't need any game.

Bdubs is the spot. If no one else is around you can play the poker game to occupy your time. I usually only go if I want to watch a sporting event I wouldn't normally access, but I usually end up talking to people here and there regardless.

I do it all the time. In New Orleans and out of town.

It's amazing how much you put yourself in a bubble when going out only with friends. You don't realize it until you go somewhere alone.

People are much more likely to approach someone alone than a group. It's less intimidating. I've had some of my best nights going out alone.

I hate talking to strangers. I usually drink a few while watching tv at the bar before talking to anyone, unless they talk to me first.

I went to bars alone for most of the week last week, met a ton of people and had a blast.
