Bars are notable for staying open late, but I’m not really familiar with alternatives that might operate similarly. I think many cafés (at least around my area) tend to close a few hours earlier by comparison, which would be my go-to for an alternative otherwise, so what other options are there?
You’re going to the wrong bars. All the bars around me have the TVs on but they’re muted and none of them show commercials.
Yeah. Most of the bars I go to don’t even have TVs. There are a bunch of shelves with board games.
There’s a few of those in the city I live in, they’re great.
I don’t go to bars. I strongly resent that my hometown pushed out the cozy local coffee pub that sat at the core of the city’s culture in favor of yet another chain sportsbar when it already has so many of those.
