Tempting as it may be to hide behind a computer, there are times you'd be wise to ditch the "media" and focus on the "social." Seeking funding or new clients? Hoping to meet that savvy salesperson who will help turn your business around? Craving the latest industry gossip (or have some juicy dirt to spread yourself)? You need to get out there, where the people are. And one of the most pleasant places to connect with those people is at a bar, for a planned meeting, networking event, stealth attack or chance encounter.
We're not here to condone constant drinking, but one thing we do like is communication. The bar is merely the venue, a place for you and your peers to collaborate, discover, brainstorm and, yeah, maybe even indulge in a bit of trash talk. Here are some of the best places we've found to conduct those activities, plus some tips on how to behave while doing so. Closing the deal is up to you.
