People came anyway. There were 6 pairs of women, including myself and my friend. We were not the only ones with this idea. By 5:30 there was a crowd in the bar. Some people in suits, some not. I ordered the southwestern egg rolls. They aren't as good as as the steak and cheese egg rolls with the queso sauce at Blue Ridge Grill, just saying. I wasn't actually in the mood to meet anyone just then, but wanted to scope out the scene and gauge the difficulty involved. It's actually pretty difficult. A lot of people come together in a group from work. I did see a single guy hitting on some women across the bar. I have no clue if he works with them or not.
Although this seems like a more likely place to meet someone, it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. In this environment, if you walk up and talk to someone, even if it's casual, your intentions are known straight away. If you are lucky enough to have someone interesting sit beside you, you might be able to be more stealthy about it.
I was sitting at the bar with a woman to either side of me. There were 2 guys sitting behind us but far enough away that making casual conversation would have been difficult. I think that in the right circumstance this environment could be a great resource for meeting someone. Today was just not my day.
Difficulty to initiate contact: 8
Pros
There were guys there
They had time to talk
It's early so it's a different crowd than going to the bar later
Cons
Making contact can be tricky
