do bankers kick it with traders?

okay before you MS

once you start working 90+ hour weeks ... I take it you're not exactly going to want to be hanging out with just anyone. So naturally, it makes sense that you would gravitate towards other bankers, consultants and lawyers (NYC)... 

Since traders work market hours, do IBD bankers ever hit the bars with traders ? 

pls no flame and I understand that it is a stupid question
