Uh, we call those bars in the USA. Not a big help if you’re under 21, I know, but if someone is motivated, they can find places to socialize with other motivated individuals. And turn the fucking phone off.
I might drink alcohol maybe one in a dozen-or-so times I visit a bar. Europeans visit taverns and pubs just like visitting any other restaurant. It would be cool if more Americans had a healthier relationship with alcohol, instead of living like there’s nothing between permanent and/or total inebriation, versus absolute sobriety.
Bowling Alleys and Pool Halls: Out for serving alcohol. A bar is just a more social restaurant if one can get over the fact that most people drink there.

Bars aren’t really a great solution. Alcohol has a number of downsides. They’re expensive. They’re often loud.
It would be cool if we had a wider variety of third places.

Ya hear that guys? Just motivate third places into existence!
