Mmmm Flirty Fun Again: I Found My Own Cheers Bar


It was a Sunday night. The hubs had gone out of town to visit a friend€. He wasnt home yet and the had gone out with friends, so I was left with making my own plans. Gilf and I had planned to meet a friend of mine at his restaurant, but he texted me late in the day to say we had to postpone. Gilf and I decided we wanted to do SOMEthing since we had looked forward to getting together all week.

I tried to find a live music venue to go to. Its not easy to find live music on a Sunday night. We ended up going to a pub that the three of us [hubs too] had gone to earlier in the month. Its a fun neighborhood type pub that has live blues/rock music, great views of the Sound during the summer months, and a convivial atmosphere.

We got there about an hour before the band played. Even then, most of the seating was filled up except for a couple of seats at the stand-up table. We ordered drinks and drank in all the opportunities to people watch. We both love to watch the games people play and try to guess what they are all about. I told Gilf that ever since I had my woman-of-a-certain-age sexual awakening, I assume everyone in a bar is swinging or in the lifestyle! I cant help it; its where my mind goes nowadays! [Well that, or imagining them naked! Lol!]

As the band played and the drinks flowed, we watched the tight knit group of locals open up like a flower blooming in winter. They danced with partners and without; with different partners and with friends. Theres no real dance floor so everyone just kind of dances in the aisles. I pity the ones sitting there, wanting to be left alone with so much booty shaking next to their seated faces, in front of them, and yes, definitely behind them.

There was the guy in a turquoise t-shirt with matching shoes and matching sequined hat with leggings so colorful as to make LuLuRoe green with envy, who boogied the night away.



There was the cute, pert spinner type gal that even Gilf thought wanted to bed every male on the dance floor, including Mr. LuLuRoe!

Then there was a trans gal that I had seen before; always by herself, always on the fringe, watching the world around her.

Gilf pointed out the younger couple at the end of our bar that was practically having sex right then and there. I turned to look and sure enough, the guy was rubbing up against her behind. At least he was in rhythm with the beat! I told Gilf that maybe she was his shield as his hard-on might have been too dangerous for walking through a crowded bar.

I joined the dancing fray while Gilf watched the crowd, sometimes chatting with the strangers around her. The crowd was growing around us a bit, and I noticed more folks standing at the stand-up bar. One gentleman gave me a sly smile; actually I thought he was looking at someone else. A little while later I ventured to the bathroom. When I came out, I walked past this same gentleman. He lightly reached and grabbed my arm saying, œI think I know you! My peed on your leg! 



I turned and saw that it was Jaegers owner! See Episode...oh hell, I lost count! An Evening of Flirty Fun! posted 8/31/21. He was with a tall Helen Hunt lookalike. I could not tell if they were friends, dates, lovers, exes, or what. She was amiable, friendly as he hugged me and said in my ear, €œOkay, forgive me but I think Ive forgotten your name; if you give me multiple choice, I ll get it €.

€œI ll give you a hint, and with that he guessed it right away.

I pretended I forgot his name too. He gave me three options, all three lettered names. I got it on the first guess, because Im competitive that way

Helen Hunt got in on it too, and we chatted a bit more before I went back to sit at our stand-up table where Gilf chatted with the Beatles type guy next to her.

No, not Beatles, more like Rolling Stones €, she said.

No, not Rolling Stones, more like early The Who , said I.

No wait! I got it! More like The Kinks! , I said triumphantly high fiving my friend.



Jaeger s owner walked through the crowd and found a seat right in front of me. He made a point of leaning/bumping into me to make contact as he passed by. Sitting there, it made it more obvious if I looked in his direction, so I turned my back and chatted with the former Kink band member and others at our table.

A few minutes later horny young couple left, and yes, with her as his cover and shield; so Jaeger s owner and Helen Hunt came to sit near the end of our high bar table. He was kitty corner to me and would reach out his arm to touch mine to get my attention. We talked of his growing up in the area where I now live: something we had talked about before [huh, he remembered that?!] and beers. He did an aside to Helen Yeah, she likes beer!œ “No, you just kept buying them for me!, I retorted.

Helen was just drinking water[damn calorie counter!!] Yeah, I could not figure out the connection between the two of them: she said she was his ride home, his designated driver and yet would hang on his arm like a life preserver every so often. But he would lean in my direction too. Hmmm

As I was sitting facing the band, a barmaid came up to me with a beer in her hand. She used hand motions to tell me that the gentleman kitty corner to me had bought that for me. I turned to him and said, œYou should nt have!€ œHe said back, œIts an IPA, that means its double the alcohol!€
Then you really shouldnt have! I™m driving![/ I]€ I laughed. Thats when I learned she was his way home. My mind went to what happens when they got home!

Share it with your friend then , he said. œI will! And thank you! € He reached out to clink his glass with mine, we raised our glasses and said Cheers! to each other.

I got up to swing dance [ha! How apropos!] with another gentleman in that crowded dance space and afterwards had others come up to tell me how much they loved watching Gilf and I; that we had the best energy and that they were glad we were there. They encouraged us to come back every Sunday!

OMG! Think I found my very own Cheers bar!!
Oh yeah, we will be back!

GAWD I miss hanging out in bars - specifically neighborhood ones. Though with all my traveling that meant wherever I was at the time.

I actually met Mrs. C in a neighborhood bar and recall well the girl that was also stroking her dance partner's cock while they were on the dance floor. ( THAT never changed, though her partner changed weekly! ) That's just how it was back in the 70s, perhaps you recall!

Oh, the 70s! Yep, I do recall! Disco in full bloom, but still some great live music to be had. I loved going downtown in P-town [Portland] and hanging out at bars within walking distance of each other.

Sounds like you and Gilf had a great time plus found somewhere to go to have fun. I love to people watch and that sounds like a great place to do it. That it was a Sunday night makes it more amazing. Seems like it might be a good place to find someone to go home with if you are in the mood.
Sending you big hugs and hopes that you have many more fun times there.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.


bustinout20202 replies on 1/27/2022 8:11 am:
thanks Justskin! It was great for people watching and making up stories to fit the person! lol! Turns out we actually made friends with the spinner and had a good conversation with her! Ya just never know! Hugs back atcha!{=}{=}{=}

I liked the fact that there was some Kink-y stuff going on. Was it Ray or Dave Davies by any chance?

I love a good small bar. Where people you don't know welcome you. Shoot Pool, or darts, jukebox if there a band sing along.
Let the beers and shots let them flow. One never knows who's lips You may just 💋 😘

I am all in that my friend!! I never played pool much [because I would embarrass myself for sure!] I usually go for the music.

Oh! That sounds like quite a night! I miss the old neighborhood pubs.
I am so curious as to what Helen hunt’s role was.
I am guessing their second date. Or… oh I could go on and on.
Am glad you had a great time. Sounds like you fit right in. This could be the start of something grand!!

Have a great day! 💋

bustinout20202 replies on 1/27/2022 8:18 am:
Helen was a curious one at that. I got the sense they were old friends. Oh yeah, she told me the story of them traveling to NYC together and got to be in a SNL audience; so they've known each other for awhile. Just don't know in what capacity...

I feel like I've missed out on a major life pleasure. Whenever I go to bars, I'm one of the guys making the music. So I get three or four short conversations in the course of the evening. It sound like you had a great time at a great bar!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
They say that you are not really a fan of a band unless you know the bass players name. It IS a fact that the bassist is probably the least likely to get noticed or laid, out of all the band members. But just being in the band is at least an introduction at any table in the bar, so yeah, any of the musicians are more likely to get laid than the average Joe at the bar.

But that's not my point. My point is that, as a musician, I miss the process that you describe. The interactions, the comeraderie, the sense of community that was epitomized in that old TV show. THAT's the major life pleasure that I've missed.

Now, thanks to your description, my eyes are opened. I'll be on a search for that "holy grail", that mythical "Cheers" bar in my neighborhood!

So you're a bass player, eh? Just so you know, the bass player is the one that stood out to us the most: his sense of "cool", head down, feeling the groove of the music, was fun to watch! You'll have to keep me posted on finding the holy grail...just remember to 'choose wisely'!

Sounds like a blast! In the days of COVID, I so miss the social interaction. Everyone hibernates and stays 6 feet apart. As I read your blog , I was waiting for GILF to end up in a three-way with the horny couple. So glad you found an oasis of comfort in this crazy world.
