I kinda like this one. Resonable composition, oof objects are not too intrusive to the scene, looks like there is some kind of connection between the two of you. My only issue is that it's underexposed. I get that it's a pub and meant to be dark, but your subjects should, IMO be decently exposed.

It looks to me like the lighting wasn't quite right for the effect you've wanted to create and you've underexposed the whole scene in order to try and force the lighting conditions that you are visualising. I do wonder if a bit of selective burning of the background might have a better result than keeping the exposure too low on the whole scene. Of course the other answer is control the lighting, but I suspect that's not an answer you are after.

I would have adjusted camera placement so the exhaust tube isn't connecting with your head.
