Sitting at the bar

Sitting at the bar transforms a night out into something else. Want to make friends? Sit at the bar. Want to ignore everyone? Sit at the bar. On a date? Sit at the bar so you can use that body language to flirt. With friends? Sit at the bar and make friends with the bartender and have everyone else be jealous of how much fun you’re all having on display.

Bonus: Sitting at the bar usually also has quicker and more attentive service if you’re not an intolerable asshole. Don’t forget to tip well.
