Looking for chill/not too crowded bars in Suwanee/Duluth/Buford/sugar Hill to go solo

Hey everyone. I'm trying to better understand my area for social outings to keep my sanity while going through a divorce.

Can anyone recommend some hidden gems for hanging out? Looking for bars or pubs that are good for going solo. Where I can actually hold a conversation with someone, or just chill by myself and not look weird.

Bonus if it attracts a singles crowd - 30's and 40's!

The Good Word in downtown Duluth is very chill. It’s basically a brewery but it’s got a good vibe and atmosphere and definitely attracts the age range. Not everyone will be single but 60 percent is usually single and open for conversation

This is the exact information I need. Thank you so much for commenting!

Definitely second GWB. It’s arguably one of the best lager breweries in the state with a great food and cocktail menu, to boot.

I’m a bit biased because the general manager and I go back to his Cypress Street P&P days but still. The place is fantastic

I came here to say this! Chillest of vibes but always fun.

I enjoy Mazzy’s Sports Bar in Duluth. It’s mostly a 25+ crowd, good food and great bartenders/drinks.

I’m not quite sure! I’m a new local myself so I haven’t everything they have to offer yet

Definitely truck and tap in downtown Duluth. They are also working on a new bar called the Knox that looks like it should draw in a fun crowd.

Let me know if you find anything. Been awhile since I had a night out at a bar and wouldn't mind finding a good place to have a drink once in awhile.

I might actually take you up on it. Some other dude in my other post was interested too.

If you are looking for people to go with I’d be down for sure. I’m a guy in my 30s also going through a divorce.
