Deep south, born and raised. I always preferred a rough bar. Sit in the back smoking a cigar or pipe, sipping bourbon, and watch the show.
They tore down my first home bar and put up a gas station, I mourn the loss. It was great: bikers shooting up in the bathroom, fights all the time, drug deals, meth head drama, bikers selling moonshine outside. Had a hooker OD and show up dead in the parking lot.
Met a former roommate and lover there, had to chase her out of my house with a shotgun. She and her boyfriend started smoking meth in my house. Last I heard she went back to Georgia and is doing better.
Sucks, sometimes, that I had to quit drinking.
I too found it enjoyable. Only time I ever got involved even accidentally was when two guys fighting slammed into the foosball table and pinned me between it and the wall. I took a handle to the nuts but not too badly.
I had a coworker who started doing MMA and taking steroids because he was tired of getting beaten up at the bars all the time. The only thing he achieved was to get beaten up by better fighters. I was like "dude, you could try just being polite to people like I do, or worst case you could just stop going to bars every night".
Luckily, I haven't been in a fist fight since highschool. But yeah, I never had much trouble, in bars, myself. Always polite, especially to bartenders and servers, tip well. I've hung out a lot with rough crew. Few times someone got shitty with me, pretty much half the bar would tell them to knock it off.
Long shot, but you run bingo in drag?
Ha ha no way! I only play bridge in drag ...
