You have to have alcohol to go to a bar?
Technically not, but it would feel a bit like a 'socially taboo' to not drink
Idk I'd at least put it as slightly awkward, like going to a bowling alley and not bowl, sure you can be social, but it's weird to not join in
Think you need to get out more. Few people bat an eye if you don't drink alcohol in a bar. Lots go for the music alone is it is a live band. It just some wings after work.
Never said anyone would confront you about it. I'm also with you, live music is different, but that's not something I have seen much at bars where I'm from
