Well, here's a comment from a single guy in his mid 30's in Canada... the bar/pub that I most often frequent is a very relaxed, casual atmosphere, and many women come in on their own. That being said, the main serving staff are female the majority of the week, so they may feel less threatened. Down the street though, there is a dance club which is known as more of a meat-market as opposed to a meet market, and in that locale it would be a little more likely that a woman in by herself would be approached by quite a few guys to "chat her up", so to speak.

Kelly, I guess it really comes down to the type of person you are, the pub/bar/tavern you wish to go to, and even in how your dress or appearance suits the establishment. Confidence in yourself and your surroundings helps too :)

Let us know how your partying goes this weekend!

Brian.
