I am pretty late finally get to this post but I couldn't let the world keep moving without at least pointing out my valiant effort to find Love in the Pub on Black Friday.
I am not a shopper, if I can't buy it on the internet, I generally don't have it. So Black Friday, to me is a day to get out and enjoy the bar scene while everyone else is shopping, traveling or recovering from the big Thanksgiving meal.
In an open day like this, I can generally make it to a few bars through out the day but I have never used this time to scout out love interests - of course this year, I was ready and willing!
Starting off the day, I decided to head to Smyrna to a familiar spot in order to meet up with friends. First bar of the day COMPLETELY EMPTY for the most part. There was one lovely older couple that I was able to share some advice about Irish Whiskey, so much so that she complimented how lovely I was - I swear if they had a son/grandson my age, I would have gotten the hookup. Maybe this is another angle as I seem to be best at meeting people in their 70's. (mental note - ask older people if they have any single family members/neighbors/friends etc)
Next bar, slightly more people, nothing much to mention here - except some Tequila was involved.
After the second spot I was on the move - back up north to some Kennesaw dive bars. Now it's starting to get interesting - new places and new people.
Next Stop: Buzzy's Grille. Definitely a dive bar and an interesting place. Best of all the price of drinks makes my wallet happy and the service was superb. Seemed like a lot of regulars - however, they were all incredibly friendly. Other than the friends that I had met the average age was probably 50 but generally mixed between a bunch of 20 somethings and a bunch of 60 somethings. Will visit again to see if the results were skewed.
Next Stop and most promising of the night - Old Towne Grill. Now, I say this is the most promising because the entire bar tending staff is female - wearing attractive/Tight/short clothing and I assume that attracts the men in. Granted, not sure what caliber of men but TBD. Best of all, there are a ton of great TV's - which again, definitely a male magnet. I have to find an opportunity to re-visit this pub as I can see that it's completely promising!
Stay tuned on my follow-ups.
