She saw many small bars

I don’t like to go to the bar but my home mates will invite me to go to the bar and I refuse.
If I go to the bars I go to the places which are quiet and with less people / places not so crowded

If I go to the bar with many young people I will go there with my best friend but she doesn’t like to go to the bar.
