I like a bar where they appreciate that a woman is not a camel and don't make you wait 45 minutes to take your order. There is one place where I got up and went behind the bar and helped myself because it took so long. I am still welcome there but the management has changed.
I also like somewhere with a nice buzz but not so loud I can't hear my companions talk.
A couple of decent beers on tap (extra points if there is a Belgian or a wheat beer), a choice of wines by the glass (and by choice I don't mean red or white) and mixers in bottles, not those horrible post-mix taps. And if they offer cocktails they need to know how to make them.
I don't mind lounges and armchairs, but I prefer chairs and tables where you can lean across and tell secrets.
I want it dark enough to be flattering but light enough to read the snack menu.
I want to feel like I can nurse a glass of water all night without being made to feel unwelcome. Not that I would, but I'd like to feel I could.
