It is a matter of course to walk into a bar with all the bouncers eyeing you.

do whatever the hell you want if it ain't illegal or hurtin nobody you are a grown rear end man. I'd recommend doing it in the late afternoon at a place known for their mixology and a warmer mature atmosphere

an empowering bit of information if it is within your means and doesn't sound like total derangement when you say it out loud, it doesn't matter if something you wana do is a little weird or whatever. Most humans on this earth are very much concerned with their own business and while they might silently cast a judgement your way in their inner monologue ultimately they will not give a poo poo. there will not be a secret cabal of people meeting to talk about the weird guy who reads a book while nursing single malt at the older folks bar.

as long as you are good with the people you care about and the people who care about you please just be the person you want to be.

You can read lots of places! Anywhere that's comfortable and you can freely take a seat! Enjoy a coffee and a book! Dip down to the park and enjoy the sun with your book!

Thats what makes it a good place for reading, unlike bars which are apparently full of fuckknuckles reading books. If you really want to be safe just never read, prevention is the best cure you know.

i knew someone pressured into being dragged along to a either an 18th or a 21st birthday party at a skeezy suburban strip club outside of Lowell, Mass who brought along a Gameboy Advance Color inside with him and played it most of the time in between quick glances at the tits and rear end on dispay...later when hit up by one of the ladies they allegedly said they had already spent the last of their money on pokemon so they couldnt afford a lap dance

That sounds like the shittiest bar on earth. I also don't believe it exists.

Like, the No Libs section of Philly is the most hipster place outside of Flatbush and there isn't a single bar like you've described. You sure you're not thinking of a coffee shop?

There was a bar like that in Eugene, they had chessboard tables and all afternoon it was people having a few beers and playing chess or cribbage and hanging out. It did get super noisy and full of college kids around 9ish though.
