Is it weird for a single guy to go to a bar alone?

No.

But since this is posted in dating advice and you highlighted being single, I'm guessing you mean for the purpose of finding a dating prospect.

Don't do this.

Instead, find a bar that you like (you might have to try a few first).

Then just hang out and have a threshold to stay for maybe two drinks max on your first visit.

Be cool to the bar staff and anyone who strikes up a conversation with you. Leave a good (but not exaggerated) tip.

Do this a couple more times at the same bar and you'll probably start being seen as a regular.

Eventually you'll naturally meet dating prospects through the social circle you've built up (without coming off as creepy or weird).

And even if you don't, there's a good chance you met some cool and interesting people along the way.
