friends. however, please avoid going solo to a bar at night time for safety reasons. so, you can basically just go laid-back to a lively bar and seat between tables rather than in an exclusive area to make it easier for you to be seen, and then try to start a conversation with someone or a group of people at another table close to you (though it might be easier if you speak to someone who is also sitting solo like you are). there is really nothing to be afraid of or to get threatened by, the worst that can happen is that the other person or people will kill
