My brother once said to me "you look so out of place at the bar you attend every weekend"

I have aspergers but what did my brother mean exactly by "look out of place"

I'd rather discuss this with you guys than my brother.

You don't look like the rest of the blokes in the bar. Maybe you look less tough, less rough, whatever. Who knows?

But isn't there some place other than that bar that you could go to?

Do people with aspergers not go to these kind of places?

Some probably go to bars---but they usually don't have good experiences in them.

Bars are the kind of place where one has to be "on" socially all the time.
