You think like me. When i was single and looking to meet people i'd just post up at whatever bar was comfortable and my type of crowd and chat with whoever would listen.

I dont live in Fed anymore but i always enjoy stopping by the market to get drinks at anywhere that will serve em. I'd usually chill there and play on my phone and strike convo when it arose.

I like Magerks too. It got pretty active on Friday and Saturday last year around this time.

Banditos and 101 are more "clubish" but i enjoy their music more than the other bars.

Little Havana is a lowkey spot if you just wanna drink and talk to regulars/older crowd (might find yourself a couger)

Brewers Cask and Rowhouse are cool too, i think they're also more of a late 20s early 30s crowd. Rowhouse has good wings...I had an upset stomach from when i ate their seafood though...

Theres some other bars edging on the riverside area too.
