So I’m just curious if I’m the only person who will read a book at a bar, as I currently am, just to avoid being on my phone. I do socialize for the most part, but when I’m not I’m reading parts of my book. Has Anyone Else done this before, if so what has been your experience?

Do you mean when you’re there with other people? If so that’s weird. Alone? Who cares.
Oh man, I’ve totally done that! It’s such a cool vibe. Bars can be surprisingly great places to read, especially the chill ones. There was this little pub I used to go to where I’d grab a corner booth, order a drink, and dive into a book. People-watching between chapters can be fun, too. I’d have a book in one hand and a pint in the other, and it felt like I was in my little world, with music and chatter all around me as a nice background soundtrack. Sometimes folks would come up and chat. It’d often lead to really interesting conversations, especially if they recognized the book or were curious about what I was reading. Felt kinda like a literary adventure in a way. Plus, it gets you off the phone and lets you really savor the moment.
I like going out to eat with a book or some headphones. I shared this with my coworker, and he seemed to think it was pretty badass.
My wife likes going to bed early, so on vacation sometimes after she goes to bed I’ll sit in the hotel bar with a book and sip on a drink
Does a textbook count?
Had a night class and got invited to a bar with others. We get there and every quickly ran off to do their own things. So, I just pulled out my bag from the car and worked on school work while sipping on my drinks. Was actually pretty nice, tbh.
Yep. Bars and restaurants. I mean, depends on the situation and the company, of course, but yeah. I mean, books are awesome and people aren’t always. Backup in the form of a book and IDGAF attitude can be both emotional armor and sexy as hell.
not a noisy clubby type but a pub in the daylight, yes! i read anywhere when im doing things by myself
No but there’s this pub I like, and sometimes I’ll bring my laptop and work from there.
Many many times
Yas! Read everywhere!!! I think it’s so attractive! lol and usually, the last thing you’re trying to do is attract, while reading.
