madmutt Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) not sure kung baket nga parang taboo dito sa pinas na uminom na mag-isa. i have no problem drinking anywhere alone. most of my recent acquaintances i have met while drinking in a bar alone. tapos kapag maging regular ka at makilala ka ng staff and management, inaalagaan ka. parang sa abroad, you can sit at a bar, drink, talk to the bartender...talk to other people at the bar. it does not mean that you are trying to score or get laid...masaya lang talaga na may nakikilala ka na bago and syempre kapag may tama gumaganda ang usapan kasi uninhibited na tayo. i already have my own watering hole (not the bar with the same name)in Marikina. so i am always covered if i need my fix....

deepdiverboy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I believe it's the herd mentality of Filipinos, na kapag nag-iisa ka, you're perceived as a loser or loner na walang mahatak na kaibigan para makipaginuman. It happens all the time abroad that men/women enter a bar alone not really looking to get laid or anything, but they strike up great conversations at the bar to pass the time. Quote Link to comment

Actually sa babae ang mas medyo nakakailang pag mag isa kang umiinom sa bar. They have that perception that either the woman is an easy lay or looking for some 'hook up'. I had 2 experiences in drinking alone in a bar, sa Friends then, the bar where I know most of the waiters and bar tenders plus the crowd, kaya parang di ka na din nag iisa Edited July 20, 2010 by MS Quote Link to comment
hhhhhmmmmmph Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I love to hang out at Mogwai Cinematheque (located inside Cubao Expo). You can chill out at their bar alone without looking pathetic. If it's your first time there, you'll have plenty of stuff to look at since it's worn out look is quite intriguing. The art pieces is also a conversation starter in case you find yourself in the posistion of stumbling upon another friendly stranger. If I'm not mistaken, they have Wifi there so you can bring your stuff and work while drinking a cold beer. I often go there to unwind, I'm on a first name basis with the staff there. PM me if you want to share a beer and a conversation I did see the prices of the beer, how about food?are they good for sharing or just one?how about operating hours? sorry for asking... in cubao/araneta area, last call for ordering alcohol is 1am. except for oyster boy which is open 24/7 Quote Link to comment

red_glory Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I always go to cafes/coffee shops when I need some alone time. Recently, I've noticed Coffee Ministry (formerly Mocha Blends; Royale Place, Don Antonio, QC beside Ever Gotesco) has started serving beers (San Mig Light and (if I am not mistaken) a German-brand (sounding?) beer. Anyone living nearby or happen to be in the place might want to check the place out. Be warned, though, that there is a bar and a music store beside it, and the people-chatter/(sometimes) loud music might turn you off. OT: Hello MTC! First post! Quote Link to comment

madmutt Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 What about bars that plays 80's music...yung tipong chillax lang and feel the nostalgia...syempre yung alone friendly ha...hehe sa Cafe 80's dun sa Ortigas Home Depot...puro 80's music ang tugtog dun. pero not much for a bar, the best sya for groups kasi mas ok ang usapan dahil reminiscing the past ang tipo....

paupau Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Natry ko na uminom magisa sa Rollingstone sa timog. Ok din dun kasi may mga tables sa gilid. Muni-muni ka lang dun or nood ka ng mga nagbibilyar. Nakakakita ka na pretty girls, nakakakuha ka pa techniques sa mga naglalaro. Kung trip mo, pwede din makilaro dun sa mga nagiisa lang din or makigulo dun sa group of girls hehe.. Usually nandun ako wednesday or thursday night. Quote Link to comment
