>Where exactly do people go to bars without meeting friends group they don't already know? For example, I've met plenty of neighborhood friends by going to live music nights at nearby bars and restaurants. The music was an "excuse" to go to a place I didn't know anyone. In my city, there's also been bar nights specifically about meeting people, think speed dating but without the emphasis on dating.
