Turning 21 - How long is enough in a Bar?

Question

Reason I'm asking is that I turn 21 on sunday....but I wanted to go out saturday night...so I figure they will let us in the bar saturday midnight...but ALL the bars close at 2 am here...is two hours a good time to drink and have a good time in a bar?

I've never been in a bar before thats why Im asking

Answer 1

It is.   When I turned 21, I want to my first bar at midnight.  I told the bartender that I had just turned 21 and asked him to suggest a drink.  He served me a Morgan and Coke, which is still one of my favorite drinks to this day.   So just as a way to ease your way into things on you first night out and get a feel for the scene it's worth doing.  Then you will be able to have more fun the next night.   I would not suggest getting plastered on your first night, you don't want to spend you 21st birthday with a hang over.

Another suggestion, at lunch the next day, I went to a good restaurant and ordered a glass of 21 year old scotch and sat for a long time sipping that (it'll run you about $15-20 for one glass, but hey you only turn 21 once).  I highly recommend you do that, it was a good chance to contemplate life before I went out that night and got sh*tfaced with all my friends.    

By the way, don't make the mistake of thinking a 21 year old scotch was born the same year you were (like I thought when I was drinking it) -- a 21 year old scotch aged in a barrel for 21 years before being bottled, so unless you get a bottle that was just filled, the scotch is probably several years older than you.

Answer 2

I was dating this guy and his bday was on a sunday too and so we went to the bar and he could not drink til 12 so at 12 he started and there was a good 20 people there and they al bought him a shot and we left at 2 and he was passed out i had to carry him to the car. So i think you will be fine just take lots of shots!

Answer 3

it's according on what your plans are, why your in the club, is it to get sh*t faced, or meet a woman, or just to have a lil fun, cause from my experience you can get sh*t faced in two hours if your drinking fast enough, and you might find a woman, she might not be the best looking but as the song goes they all get prettier at closing time, and you can maybe shoot a few games of pool or get in a few dances with a few drunk women in two hours, so if i were you i would go check it out and have fun and know that you can go back next weekend and stay all night.

Answer 4

i'm 16 usually me and my friends go to a pub or bar (whatever you call it) at nine and at around 11 we go to a club until it closes at around three.

Answer 7

More than enuf. It's not the drinking in a bar that makes it fun. It's the company you keep.
