Are there any decent alternatives besides bars/clubs to meet people on a Friday/Saturday night?

Meetup.com, coffee houses, downtown areas (greens, boardwalks, etc), bowling alleys, the mall, the movie theater, sporting events, galleries, house parties, the gym...

Pretty much anywhere with people.

house partiers with good f-to-m ratio trump everything else. Sarging on a house party where you know half of the people and the host (or just you LOOK like you know) is like playing the Game with godmode on.

PREMISE

Friday/Saturday night, and weekends in general are prime time for R&R and socializing. Bars/clubs are the de-facto standars for single people looking to meet other single people . . . but it's not for everyone, actually I would attempt to say, without scientific proof, that most single people don't enjoy the bars/clubs scene.

TWO OBSERVATIONS HERE

There are activities that you can do to meet people in general, and be social, meetup.com is a great way to find like-minded people, also volunteering, and check your local papers or their web sites for events listings
There are ways to meet people during the week, people are everywhere, they have a functioning life just like you and I, so that you don't have to be scouting for someone on weekends.

BONUS: become the organizer of the social life of your group of friends, if you want to do something, mentioned to the people you know (Facebook is good for that) and tell them to join you, anything from the opening of a blockbuster movie (Skyfall opens Nov 9), to drinks, to checking out a new pizza place in town, a fundraising walk, bad weather party...

SOCIAL DANCING. I can't believe someone else didn't mention this already. Start with salsa. I have seen seriously attractive girls that are into that dance. I personally prefer swing (for reasons other than seduction) and there are some attractive girls in it as well.

Groupon events are great (or other social event type deal things).

Local TEDx events everyone wants to talk to you at least until they find out you work at less than impressive job so no need to feel intimidated if you can keep the conversation intellectual & about them for more information http://www.ted.com/pages/about_tedx
