The Best Times to Post on Social Media

We all want the perfect moments from a night out at the bar to show off to our social media followers. As any selfie expert will tell you, it has a lot to do with timing.

By posting on social media throughout the night, you can capture all of the highlights of your bar experience.

Here’s the best times to post on social media while you’re at the bar.

When You Arrive

So you’ve just arrived at the bar and your friends are starting show up as well. Now’s the perfect time to whip out your phone and capture some of that “Omg, I haven’t seen you in forever!” excitement.

Take selfies with your friends and make sure to get one of the entire group before you guys head into the bar. Don’t forget to get yourself into all of the shots. Unless you’re a journalist, you should actually be in the photos and videos that you’re posting online!

When Your Drink Arrives

You just ordered the craziest drink on the menu (after all who really needs a giant frozen beer margarita). It’s arrived at your table and its huge. Now’s the time to post on social media and let everybody know what you’re drinking tonight!

Even if you’ve opted to order something a bit more sexy, you can post pics of your drink just to show how sophisticated you are. Post yourself or a friend taking that first sip so that it’s a lot more interesting than just a pic or video of a drink.

While You’re Talking Shots

The highlight of hanging out at the bar is always taking shots. Gather everybody for a photo and take pics while you down your shots. Order a few rounds so that you can catch your friends finally letting loose.

While You’re Dancing

After a few drinks, there’s always somebody that’s willing to do the worm in your crew. Head out to the dance floor and take some videos of you dancing with your friends. You can even start a drunken dance battle to see who’s the master.

While the Group Is All Together

If you haven’t had many opportunities to take pics for the ‘gram tonight, make sure that you do it while the group is still all together. Later in the night, people will start going their own separate ways and you may not get a chance later to snap any pics of your whole crew.

So demand that everybody get together for another photo before it’s too late. Ideally you’ll want to do this before everybody gets up from the table or starts heading for the door so that it looks natural and not staged.

Follow these tips and you’ll look like you had the best night out ever (even if you didn’t)!

Here's Why It's More Fun to Watch Sports at the Bar Instead of Online

Regardless of what your favorite team is, watching sports online at home gets boring.

If you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the house, here’s why it’s more fun to watch sports at the bar instead of online.

Craft Beer

The game always comes first, but having a cold craft brew should be second on your list. While you can probably pick up something from the store on your way home, there’s nothing better than drinking a craft beer from the tap in the perfect cold glass.

The other benefit to going to the bar is that you can also try some new varieties that you probably can’t find in the store.

Die Hard Fans

All of the die hard sports fans are down at the bar where they can be with the other members of their tribe. If you go hard, you need to be there too. Stop half-assing it by staying in the house and get to the bar and help your team win. You’ll even get to show off your latest team gear.

See the Game From Every Angle

Good sports bars put a lot of effort into making sure that you can enjoy the game no matter where you sit or stand. If you’re interesting in making sure that you catch every play, you’ll need more than one screen to do it. Plus, there’s a bartender to make you a drink so that you don’t have to miss anything when you’re ready for another round.

Meet People Who Root for the Underdogs

Are you tired of your friends bullying you because you’re the one person that roots for a team that just can’t seem to break that losing streak? If you watch games at home, you’ll only continue to feel left out. By watching the game at the bar, you’ll find other Pistons fans that still have hope just like you. Don’t abandon your team. Get some new friends instead!

Bar Food

You might make the best nachos at 7-Eleven but you could be enjoying some crispy fish and chips or bacon burger sliders if you go to the bar instead. Unless you’re cooking up something great at home, watching the game online usually means that you’ll be eating a bag of greasy chips and wiping your hand on your pants. Go with your taste buds and get to the bar!

Game Day Specials

If your argument for staying home is because you don’t want to spend money, you’re in luck because most sports bars offer game day specials. That means you’ll get to enjoy food and drinks at a discount. So you’ll get to watch your favorite sports, with fans of your favorite team, and save money!

Now that you don’t have any more excuses, it’s time to stop being a hermit at home and find an awesome sports bar tonight. You’ll be glad you did.
