        I see what you did there…

        Pretty sure I’d need to be a church or something first. California isn’t a fan of not collecting taxes.

    My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

    it’ll go bankrupt quick. people drink less when they can have other stimulation

    if the place has a dancefloor, it also has to have shit music in between so you return and buy a drink to pass time

    Back in the late 90s, at a seedy bar with my tech-head buddies, we snagged a booth/table with a crappy half blown speaker that was pumping music so loud you couldn’t hear ANYTHING. My buddy whips out his multi tool and proceeds to stand up and snip the wire going to the speaker. An amazing idea that I’ve really never had the chance to replicate, but inspired me to carry a multi tool a lot more.

      meanwhile when the noise actually does die down: SO THAT’S WHY I NEED A NEW HEMROID CREAM.

    Sound panels. They’re insanely effective. I put up a few at home, and now I complain about every place that doesn’t have them.

      I feel like pubs in Europe are different than they are in the US. If you go to a dive bar in the US there’s a real chance you might end up stabbed or shot.

        You get those places in Europe too, but you also get places that are queer friendly, serve food and craft beer, have a good punk oriented jukebox, and the barman will start pouring your drink when you walk through the door because they know what you’re going to order.

  • Part of the reason why I hate going to bars. Another part is that the drinks are overpriced. I can get a decent handle and drink for a week for the same price as 3 drinks at a bar. No, the shitty music and oppressive atmosphere does not make the experience worth it.

    I mean, there’s some personal choice involved here. My wife and I and a friend, all middle aged, visited a bar recently to hang out and burn some time and it was busy and noisy (like, piped music and chatter noisy). We moved on and found a less busy bar where we could talk.
