I don't know if it qualifies as GALing, but I tried a pub that is just down the road from me. It has a cozy atmosphere and food that reminds me of home cooked meals. I limit my imbibing to two beers with some food, but it is nice to have somewhere to go other than an empty house. After just one visit, the bartender knows what I like. I sit by myself, but it feels more social than talking with my cat. An improvement I guess. In fact, I wrote the last several posts from the pub.
