It’s always great when a hostel has a bar. Im not a big drinker, but I always end up meeting some great people, and finding information about places I would otherwise have missed. It can help you relax a little as well to talk to like minded people.

I like it when there’s a bar, but it has more of a cafe feel — that’s my thing. I can get a reasonable glass of wine and chill. Most of my hostel activities revolve around a) sleeping, b) working on the site, and c) talking with people. Hostels with bars can do some damage to a), but work wonders for the other two.

I was growing weary of the hostel scene on my trip around the world, but when I landed in Europe the day before Christmas Eve, I was banking on meeting people at my hostel’s bar in Brussels so I wouldn’t be spending the holiday alone. And I did just that – Americans, an Aussie, a few Brazilian girls. We had a great night out.

There are plenty of bars now that have bars in them. They are usually known to be party hostels, but i have met people in London, Miami and NYC at the “hostel bar” and it’s also a good place to get to know where to go and not to go in that new city. L Hostels in NYC, for example, even has a huge roof terrace where they get local live bands to play!! awesome in the summer! they are on HostelsClub site if you want to see pics!

Good stuff! I haven’t come across a hostel with a bar in it, so I’ll have to be on the lookout for that in the future!
