From a manager, while in the workplace, sure.

At a bar, drinking beer? I dunno, sounds like they were joking around. If I can't talk about body parts at a bar while drinking beer, I'm not sure where you can.

Why would I want to talk about these parts in the bar? Or why would I want to hear about them from someone else?

I can't talk about these parts at the bar. And I'll feel very uncomfortable and will have to ask that person in the group to stop if they were to do that.

I hold a belief that one needs to maintain professional (or at least semi-professional) conduct in the bar too. Otherwise, it is just too immature.

At a bar drinking my default reaction would probably be to barely scoot across the bench and say "that should give you plenty of room"

In a workplace environment though it's definitely be a weird comment to hear
