I had a late start to the night scene. I consider it my duty to myself. A night out is, or at least should be, an adventure. I want a Judd Apatow produced buddy comedy kind of night. Seriously I want to find myself in crazy scenarios and have revelations about how much my best friends mean to me. Cash is an earthy, rural, grassroots, honest farm-to-table form of payment. The process of paying for a drink with a credit card throws a wrench into what should be a seamless process.
Do not debase yourself by signing a receipt on a bar soaked in Pabst beer. It's indecent and undignified. The only way you will be paying is by handing your bartender a huge wad of crumpled up ones so that you can get on to doing more important things with your night trying to bum a cigarette from a guy with a tote bag.
Have some manners and read the crowded room⦠everyone else is trying to get a drink too and look at how stressed the poor bartender looks. Barcades are what people go to when they want to cosplay fun. The result? These people are not self starters!!!!!!!! Darts is the best bar game that you can play. You can get away with just throwing things at a wall. And there is nothing more fun or flirty than throwing things.
A deck of cards may be worth carrying around in your purse. Guys love it when they see a group of girls playing cards and they might just ask to join.
Keep in mind though, you must actually know some card games if you are going to do this - and you must also be able to teach them to drunk people. Foolishly I did this once only to discover that the only game I knew how to play was Go Fish - which was not nearly as fun as I remembered it being.
