Wow you are missing out! They are so interesting. I travel a lot, and I spend time in the hotel bars when I don't really have time to do anything else. It's not like normal bars, people are there to try and meet people because they have nothing else to do or no where else to go. It's a really calm place and you meet some really interesting people. I find myself going to hometown hotel bars and making crazy stories and saying I'm from places that don't exist and try to tell people how to get there from famous cities. You should probably try living a little, cause you ain't done anything yet.
By the way to get to Dunkerton Mass. take the 13 east till about 40 min and pop onto rt. 36 south and you will have the most beautiful slice of Massachusetts in Dunkerton. peace
Heh.
Expensive.
Not much fun!
The areas are generally small and if you have more than one bar person working it is tight. When I used to do it people were allowed to smoke at the bar and shortly before I left that employment they made it law that people could not smoke at the bar but could do so everywhere else. It got stuffy with all the smoke before they banned it. It smells of beer mostly. You generally get dishpan hands as beer foam can often run down the side of the glasses. It isn't at all like the movie cocktail with Tom Cruise, it can be kind of boring and I am not too good at listening to drunkards problems. It is hell on your feet.
Depends on what kind of hotel you're at, and the size of the bar. For the most part, drinking at a bar at a resort hotel is a pleasant experience, because the hotel is usually in a secluded area, and the hotel wants you to spend your money at the hotel, not at an offsite establishment, and everyone is there for a good time. Drinking at a bar in a convention hotel is a totally different experience. Typically, convention hotels are in urban city centers, accessible to every hooker, pickpocket, and con artist that the particular city has to offer, who prey on the man out of town for a few days away from his wife, or the people from the small towns on their first business trip to the big city. You have to be so much more careful, and keep a closer eye on your surroundings, which kinda takes the fun out of goin to the bar. *Disclaimer time, at the top, I said "for the most part", of course, there are exceptions to every rule, I'm only sharing my experience, both as a guest, and a hotel employee.
