But once you get it in your head that you&#8217;re better off without that person, it&#8217;s hard to shake\u00a0the feeling, and sometimes, it&#8217;s just easier to do it over a drink.<\/p>\n<p>We have a few bars in mind for when you&#8217;re ready to break it off for good, all of which make sure your drinks are already paid so you can leave right away. They also feature low lighting in case of tears, privacy for one last special moment, and an easy exit for a quick getaway.
