bar pickup

Pub romantic approach

A bar pickup is a person met at a bar with the intention of a casual sexual encounter, or the act of meeting such a person.

The term emphasizes the transactional, opportunistic nature of the encounter: He's just a bar pickup, nothing serious.

To pick someone up at a bar is to initiate this kind of connection, typically through conversation and flirtation.
