Redforever86 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 You walk into a bar, alone, where do you choose to sit? What if you are in a group? Does the day of the week effect your decision? Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Bar if by yersel (table acceptable if reading a paper). Bar if in a group (and its nae too busy) if females in the group then sit at a table. Day of the week makes no odds imo. Link to comment

Affect is normally a verb. Effect a noun. That’s how I remember it. I’m absolutely shite with ‘saw’ and ‘seen’. Link to comment
Sooper-hanz Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 If on my own these days I just prefer a wee table , sit on the phone , read a book. With a group I just go with the flow. Link to comment
styrofoamplates Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Depends on the pub really. Usually at the bar, reading the paper/phone. Or at a table if the pub is quiet and I can't be arsed with the bar staff. Link to comment
Poodler Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Love sitting at the bar in the Vic/ Howff. Always take a table at Masada. KGB usually sit down beside the juker though stand at bar when Izzy is on. Stand at bar in Spirit Level, Sit at bar in moorings if alone, usually at table if with musical guru BSDH. Sit at table in Frigate. Rarely stand at a bar on a weekend evening, can’t be done with the crowds. Creature of habit it would seem Recently usually sitting outside people watching. Good bar staff can make all the difference. Bar etiquette always maintained. Mostly Link to comment
Studebaker-90 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I hate sitting at a bar if it’s a stool. Will opt for the Del Boy lean. Maybe if you just sit down. Link to comment

If you get a dog then at least exercise it properly, and also learn to leave it outside of pubs & shops, or leave it at home - and if your dog cant be left then wither its no trained enough or you shouldn't have a dog. Me, in a bar, stand at the bar when on own or in group of males but generally sit at table when in mixed company Link to comment
