Monster.com and the dozens of other services like it are cool, but it makes your resume easy to get lost in the fog. Having a personal referral alone generally isn't enough to get a job (barring something very low-level like a busboy), but it's a much stronger starting point.
The bar thing is cool, too. If you are chatting with a stranger, don't pester them for job openings, but I think it's perfectly fine to say something like "What do I do? Eh, about to graduate with a tech degree, looking for work." If you have a rapport going, it's entirely possible the stranger could mention something.

Never thought of that, but it sounds like it could work.
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Anyone have any job hunting tips?
