Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

Garth Brooks - friends in low places :lol:

Country Roads

Hotel California

Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?

That is a good one if it is an Irish Bar! By the way has anyone ever seen a tab for that song?

Anything by CCR, i dont know why but everyone loves those songs when you play them at a bar

"Brown eyed girl" van morrison, always gets the crowd going

Hey,hey, my,my(rock&roll is here to stay)" or "rocking in the free world" both by neil young are good, and not too played out.

brian wilson

tragically hip's usually a crowd pleaser too

i always enjoy when a song is thrown into a set that is kinda unexpected but still one i know and liked at one point in my life...a good example is a set with songs like dave and the stuff mentioned above and then you throw in a version of a nirvana tune or something...crowds usually like that!

I'm not a bar player (yet) but if you're playing accoustic I suggest some Willie Nelson stuff.
