But I actually really enjoy the camaraderie of a group of people saying, "Hey, wanna step outside?" It's a good way of kickstarting a side conversation, or clearing up some shit that doesn't concern everyone else around you. On the flip side, you can meet some of the most interesting characters at the bar on those trips outside, particularly on a busy night.


Also, there's something to be said about being friends with enough people at the bar on a specific enough night that, once the lights dim, the windows get blacked out and the doors locked, the ashtrays and the cigs come out and it's you and a bunch of employees of the place having it all to yourself while six or seven stragglers smoke their cigarettes outside in the cold waiting for their Lyfts.
