Whether you're at the bar with friends or trying to get to know other patrons, a drinking game can make the whole evening more fun. It helps break the ice, gives you something to talk about, and can lead to some of the best moments you'll have during happy hour. Here are a few bar games to enjoy over cocktails or craft beer.

Games to Play in a Bar

1. Never Have I Ever

On each player's turn, they start by saying, "Never have I ever..." and follow with something they've never done. Everyone in the group who has done that activity has to take a drink. If no one has done it, the person who named it drinks. Then it's the next player's turn. You can continue taking turns as long as you want.

2. Straight Face

This game requires a pen and slips of paper or something else to write on. Pass out several papers to everyone who's playing. Each person should write down something funny, ridiculous, or hard to say. Then fold the papers and mix them in a pile. The players take turns drawing a paper and reading out what's on it with a straight face. If they laugh, they have to drink.

3. Kings

You can play this game with a deck of cards. Shuffle the cards, then take turns drawing until someone picks up a king. That person chooses a type of liquor.

Next, players continue drawing until the next king is drawn. Whoever got it chooses a second ingredient for a cocktail—either something simple like tonic water, or something gross or unusual. The third person who draws a king has to buy a drink containing those ingredients, and the fourth person has to drink it. At the end, reshuffle the deck and start again.
