That's a great reason.
Some want to be at home for less distractions, their own couch, cheaper beers etc. which is where I fall into.
But a game at a bar thats fun and has a good crowd and camaraderie can absolutely be a good thing as well.
I'm sure if we've turned a corner and become an entertaining competitive team that's a great thing for the bars. I'll be on my couch for the most part though.
