Surprisingly enough, a lot of the same principles women use to succeed in the bar scene are the principles men can use.

Might try this tonight, any good tips or stories?
As a guy who has played rock and blues music in bars all over this country, I would say that very few of them are good pickup places for anything lasting (not sure if you want that). I've seen the same women (tramps I'll call them) get picked up by different guys on different nights. As a general statement, bars are sad, sad places.

Flagpole, you aren't usually this sardonic. Did you get burned once? Please share that story.

College bars that have college kids in them primarily (if you're that age) are an exception...bars where the average age is 24+ though...better have your skank radar going full steam.
Usually the only thing you might pick up that's lasting is a good ol' venereal disease.
Ha! No way, brother. I was never into the bar scene. I wouldn't have been interested in finding a woman who was into the bar scene. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever gone into a bar (a place that is PRIMARILY a bar...not a place to eat that has a bar) other than because I was being paid to play music or for competing in a HUGE biceps competition.

Easiest way to pick up girls alone is at a place with a dance floor. Show up late, and if you're going to drink, do the majority of it before you go. When you get there, grab a beer and go right to the dance floor. Don't wanna look like the creepy guy just standing there by himself.
24, willing to dance, looking for a one night stand.

With your motives in mind, I suggest going to a bar at a nice hotel in your area.

That's crazy talk. It will never work.

Some girls that go to dance aren't there to meet people
If you pick a girl up on the dance floor it could be an accident and you might be labeled as "her accident" at that particular bar scene.
^this, and being a regular gets you more buybacks

Drink half as much as you usually do being sober gives you a great advantage over the guys who need bottled courage to talk to someone.
neighbor hood hang out bars- the kind you dropinto to catch a game, a quick burger or the central place to meet friends and then go to a movie, show or a sports event. Your local is a long term investment-get to know the regulars, especially the couples, get to know the staff they can be a big help introducing you around. Be yourself everywhere no acts no posing introduce your self to the bartender and the folks around you. Get into mixed company conversations, every woman has a friend they would like to see "get a good man". Prove you are that man- be honest up front and most of all listen to what people say and comment on their thoughts, It's Ok to disagree just be sure you indicate that you heard and evaluated their view point... discuss things do not argue. Keep the dialog open and ongoing winning points is not the end game here. The end game is keeping common ground open to insure further social interaction.
When you become a regular who knows the staff & other people who often are in the joint you are not alone.
YOU MUST FIND A WING CHICK! That's right a girl who has an outgoing personality the prettier the better. GF/wife of a friend, a neighbor or a long time friend. You must be seen with girls to show other girls you have been able to gain approval from other females .
Any other joint- Bring the most attractive wingchick you can find.
Watch your drinking-always be the soberest one in the group.
