Living in a city comes with its perks; not finding any parking, homeless people begging for money and always seeing others that are much more attractive than your ugly mug. Besides those wonderful entices, having many options each night as your group chat lights up on Friday afternoon with plans of degenerate drinking with your happy hour crew as you slide into the weekend. Plans of meeting at a place that has a solid appetizer menu to get a base or meeting at stupid trendy rum spot that serves their drinks in Caribbean island glasses because Rachel needs her Instagram story to be lit after her breakup. One thing you and your close friends know, you will be ending up at your spot at least once this weekend.
Establishing a go to bar is a process similar to Nick Saban scouting a 7th grade defensive lineman, many factors weigh in. The strongest factor is clearly your bartender and the relationship you maintain. Whether it be a hot college girl who flirts with you for petty because she knows your sucker ass tips heavy, or maybe its the part time bartender who teaches during the day that talks spots betting with you and your buddies sliding free pbrs for giving him some action. Having your bartender serve your drink without even asking will impress any 6 you found off Hinge.
Location, Location, Location. Your go to bar needs to be within walking distance of your place. No Lyfts or Bird Scooters, by feet only. Having your favorite watering hole with in walking distance leads to the comfort feeling of knowing you have somewhere to go when its Friday but not pay day and you cant join your friends at the club that night.
Lastly is the type of bar and the environment it provides. No go to bar can be a themed or club atmosphere. No chain bullshit either ( Chili's margaritas do bang though). Dive bars can be fun however you may lose touch with society as you talk to a guy named Mickey who only slams rolling rocks and fernet as opposed to maybe wheeling a cute girl who had to may chardonnays. You want a place that is crowded on weekends as you dap up the bouncer never having to wait in line, but also when you show up on Wednesdays you can almost always find a seat at the bar.
