It was a cold night, and I’d already drunk a little bit more than I’d intended to. I’d had a great time with some new friends, and after they left, I decided it was time to head back to my hotel.
After walking for about 10 minutes, I realised I was a bit lost, and I came to a dimly-lit bar in a particularly dark part of town. I figured there was no harm in popping in for one last drink while I worked out exactly where I needed to go to get back to the hotel.
As I walked in and up to the bar, I felt almost all of the eyes in the place watch me walk in. Not that there were loads, but it was busy enough. And one thing that I didn’t fully comprehend, was that the patrons were exclusively male.
