Once again, Wisconsin is leading the way. Kidding aside, I really have come to appreciate the "bar as neighborhood rec room" that is very common here, as opposed to "bar as establishment/nightclub". The music is lower, the drinks are reasonably priced, the popcorn is free, and you can chat with people, play some games, watch TV, or sit by the fire and read. I appreciate as a singleton that there is no particular expectation that you provide your own company.
But I'm most likely to experience that feeling of complete ease and satisfaction, that I think is called Gemütlichkeit, at the beer garden. In a rare moment of sanity, civic leaders have permitted operators to serve beer in the public parks (the parks getting a hefty slice of proceeds, natch), and the experience of sitting above a rolling river under a stand of towering old oaks, or the closer shelter of leafy maples, on a warm summer's afternoon, eating picnic food and quaffing a couple liters of fine lager over several hours - it's the closest thing to bliss that I can imagine.
