What
time does the band come on? (Or, if the band has just gone off, "Do you
know if the band is coming back on?")
(In
a busy club) Is this place always this crowded?
(On
a slow night) Is it always this quiet in here? (A good follow-up line is,
"Which are the best nights to come here?")
I'm
new in town. Do you know any good clubs in the area?
Is
your name Kelly?
That's
a very pretty dress you're wearing.
Me
and my friend are shooting pool. Would you like to join us in a game? (Other
good bar games to play: darts, shuffleboard, video sex trivia.) If the bar
offers karaoke, ask her to sing a duet with you. This is a fun, non-threatening
thing two strangers can do together.
