Game Plan: Bar Games
While drinking games are usually played within a quiet home setting (sometimes not so quiet,) there’s no reason the fun and entertainment can’t be taken to the other holy place of alcohol: the bar. Here are some fun drinking games you can play while hitting the nightlife.
‘One, Two, Three!’You get any number of people and they roll a die in a row. The first to get a six names whatever drink they want. The second to get a 6 drinks it. The third pays!
‘Name That Tune’Everyone pours a drink and sits around the bar listening to the music. When a new song comes on, the first person to name it doesn’t have to drink, but everyone else does. Add fun rules, like an ’80s song can be worth two drinks, a techno song means a shot and a country song means three shots, just so you can bear the pain of listening to it.
‘Go Nuts’When you have the advantage of a bar with nuts, especially peanuts, you can play this fun racing game. Everyone pours a glass of beer and takes an unshelled nut and places it above their drink. One the count of three, everyone drops the nut and watches it sink to the bottom, and rise to the top again. The nut, upon reaching the top, must be scooped out and the beer chugged. Whoever finishes the beer first is the winner.
‘Bar None’Drink a ton and be as annoying as you can without getting kicked out of the bar, for if you leave, you lose. Some have turned this game into a lifestyle, so they may have the upper hand, but with a little practice I’m sure you too can, um, win.
