The best bar chat up lines... and answers!


Here are some of our favourite chat up lines we have heard in a few food and drink establishments...


10. Line: Are you tired? Because you've been running around my mind all day.

Answer: If I had the choice I wouldn't of been.I don't actually believe that people would use that, I could be wrong though!


9. Line: Is that a ladder in your tights or a stairway to heaven.

Answer: It's a ladder and thanks for pointing it out.Why, why, why?

8. Line: Did it hurt? ["What?"] When you fell from heaven!

Answer: *shakes head and rolls eyes, then walks away*

This is a classic, I think anybody that uses this is just too desperate and trying far to hard. There are lots of variations on this including "Somebody tell God he's missing an angel", "Is it a day off in heaven today" and "What time do you have to be back in heaven". All very poor.

7. Line: So, do you come here often?

Answer: Yes, thanks.I don't actually think this is as bad as some of the others.

I think it's mean to be more of a conversation starter than a chat up line, a bit like "the weather's been nice recently". Despite this I wouldn't even recommend it as a conversation starter, I think it just makes the whole situation awkward.

6. Line: Get your coat love, you've pulled.

Answer: It's a shame you haven't then.

The alternative answer is "I haven't got a coat", but would normally result in a reply of "even better lets go!" Somebody tried to use a variation of this on one of my friends in a club, which was "What's your cloakroom number, you've pulled". As my friend was slightly drunk and didn't have a coat in the cloakroom, she just ended up getting really confused and the line didn't pay off.

5. Line: If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

Answer: Maybe it's a good job you can't then.I think this is cheesy, but a kind of sweet cheesy, (only kind of though!), I can't say it would wow me.

4. Line: Do you work at Kentucky Fried Chicken? ["No, why?"] Because you're finger lickin' good!

Answer: * stunned silence*Surely people don't use that anymore.

I remember the boys used to use this one on the girls up at primary school, and we weren't impressed by it then, so the odds are we're not going to be now!


3. Line: Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk by you again?"

Answer: How about you just keep walking.

That's pure mature cheddar. I think if anyone ever said that to me I would just be shocked that people actually use it seriously and it's not just a joke.

2. Line: I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?

Answer: No. How is that going to help find yours?

And how can you loose your own phone number anyway?Another classic. The answer I put is an example of a negative response, but I can imagine this actually sometimes works. Just be aware you might get given the wrong number.

1. Line: Is your name Gillette? ...because you're the best a man can get.

Answer: No it's not, and before you ask it's not my middle name either.

This has actually been used on me, I assume the guy was joking, (well I hope he was because I laughed at him!), and if he wasn't I am very worried. This has got to be the cheesiest line I've heard, but it does make me laugh every time I think of this lad saying it!

Drinking and driving


We like our visitors to be safe when they leave The Star at Wenhaston, so for your benefit we thought it would be a good idea to post some information about drink driving.

What is the drink driving limit?

In the UK the drink driving limit is:

  • 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath; or
  • 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood; or
  • 107 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine.
How many units can I drink before driving?

The legal drink drive limit cannot be safely converted into a certain number of units, as it depends on a number of factors to include gender, body mass and how quickly your body absorbs alcohol into the blood stream.

Can drinking coffee or having a cold shower help to sober me up?

No, drinking coffee or having a cold shower will not sober you up as this does not remove alcohol from your blood stream.
How long do the effects of alcohol take to wear off?

On average it takes one hour for a healthy liver to process one unit of alcohol. However, it does depend on your body mass, gender and how much food you have consumed. Even if you feel fine after drinking heavily in the evening there is still a high possibility that you will be above the legal limit should you drive the following morning.
What constitutes a unit of alcohol?

One unit of alcohol is 10ml (1cl) by volume or 8g by weight, of pure alcohol.
