bar talk
Tavern conversation topics
Bar talk is casual, often uninhibited conversation of the kind that happens in bars—loosened by alcohol, late hours, and the company of strangers or drinking buddies.
It tends toward the confessional, boastful, or philosophical: After a few beers, the bar talk turned to failed marriages and regrets.
The term can dismiss something as unserious or unverifiable: That's just bar talk.
