Drinking on your own in a pub

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Dunno mate, I do it at least 3 times a week,although I know I'm going to know people in the pubs, wether that's friends, barmaids,landlords or just general people who I know but wouldn't class as friends.

Number, rather than frequency :-)

Yeah to be fair you are quite a lot, lot older than me!

Maybe so, but I bet I beat your current total by the time I was 30 :-)

Used to travel a lot, woman at a bar in chicago and dallas airport knew me on a first name basis it got that bad.
Then again i didn't want to go near the food hall bit due to thousands of yanks ransacking every eaterie available.
Doubt i would have got out alive so a pint and a pack of crisps it is for me a lot of the time.

I will always stop for a pint if i see a nice pub and i feel a thirst coming on.

Was it business travel? - If so i hope you expensed all those pints :P

Are there any pubs in town for a 30 year old, where this can be acceptable?

Any good ones? I'm tired of soulless bars and want to visit and be a regular at pubs even if it means going on my own.

Port Street Beer House is a good one for lone drinking, just down the amount of different beers in there. Its always full of beer lovers on their own enjoying a pint

I think when you work away a lot you just get used to it, love sitting down with a pint of "premium beer" a paper and my own company, drinking "premium beer" could make that a prerequisite mind:)

There is no finer way of passing a couple of hours on your own than sat with the papers and a few pints. You cannot call yourself a man if you do not do this. Don't feel sad or 'old before your time', it is a laudible way of spending your time.

Often when I'm away for weekend breaks with the wife, I've got beyond walking around the shops with her, I just buy some papers, turn on the ipod and sit in a boozer by myself sometimes for a whole afternoon. If footie is on I'll watch that that and just chat to total strangers who have a similar interest in football.

The thing is you meet more people when your on your own if your in the mood for a chat because you make an effort, I can be like a tour guide in the hotel I stay with the cragg rats if they don't piss me off.
