I will never understand why people enjoy clubs so much
Main Post:
Bars? Yeah those can be fun, grab a drink with some friends or mingle with some new people. Expensive, but enjoyable. Plus different bars have different vibes and you can find the one you enjoy. Livelier ones, more lowkey ones, etc.
Clubs are just extremely overstimulating and crowded. You feel packed among so many people, loud music which rarely is good or something you know, you can smell other people’s BO, and creepy guys constantly trying to go up to girls. I’ve even tried multiple types of clubs and some have been at best a decent experience (if they’re not as fucking crowded), but never something I will voluntarily go to. Usually if a friend has a birthday or my friends beg me to go. But most the time when my friends suggest going to clubs, my mind immediately like “well damn it, that’s the last place I want to be.”
Even RAVES which are known to be a lot are better than clubs. Yes they’re not so chill but at least the music is more niche if you’re interested in edm, and generally they’re held in huge outdoor venues so you can breathe. Plus you can dress in cute costumes and just vibe. Definitely sketchy stuff happens there but same with clubs.
But really. If I want a good night life, I’ll go to a bar. Where I can actually enjoy myself and try new drinks and talk to whoever I go with instead of “dancing” in an overcrowded venue.
Top Comment: As an introvert, I always detested them. Way too overstimulating. Great if you’re an extrovert, so different strokes?

how do people know how to dance at the club?
Main Post:
21f i've been to the club a handful of times with friends but i feel like i literally can't do anything on the dancefloor except stand there. other girls tell me to 'just do what feels right!' but i have no idea what that actually means lol
does anyone actually care how you dance? is there some secret database of dance moves for if you have no rythm? feel a bit ridiculous asking this but im curious as to if anyone feels the same way/can provide some insight
Top Comment: take a little step each time the bass go thump. wiggle a little. no one knows what to do with their hands unless everyone throws them in the air and goes, "Woo" then do that.
Why people go to clubs?
Main Post:
I really like deep conversation in small groups. I really don’t unterstand why people go to clubs, especially taken or married people. What’s your opinion?

Does anyone here own or manage a club?
Main Post:
My friend has always mentioned that we should open a club but I frankly have no idea how complex it might be. I am looking for information or just a general rundown of how hard it is on order to convince him otherwise lol
Thanks for any input!
Top Comment: Been working at clubs for 10+ years. Often times dealing with the city, bureaucracy, and contractors is the biggest battle to even open. Assuming you’re talking about opening a non-DIY space, that takes a lot of money, especially here. So unless you take over an existing club turnkey style you’re going to need $$$ to pay rent while you convert the place into your dream space. Could be months, in some cases a year+ before you sell your first beverage/ticket. Then once you’re ready to go, you need connected booking staff, disciplined management, and good enough taste and a network to make people want to come. If you can pull all that together, congrats! You’re now chained to that space until you start to make back all the money you spent getting ready to open lol. It’s not necessarily a bad thing if it’s your passion, but starting and running a club is hard as fuck and requires a lot of time and dedication. And then your speaker system explodes at 2am and you have to replace it asap because every night you don’t pull in a couple grand in sales just adds to the debt. Have fun!
What is club culture like now? Is it worth it?
Main Post:
So for context, I just recently turned 18 and one thing I’ve been looking forward to the most is going out to clubs. My friends and i love the high school dances because we spend the whole night dancing and we always talk abt going to a club to dance. I‘m one of the last ones in my group to turn 18 and we’ve talked abt going clubbing over the summer but i recently saw a vid of a girl saying that her gen z sister said that clubbing isn’t what it was in the 2000’s and that it’s very casual and that you pull up in like jeans and sneakers and that dancing isn’t as fun.
Pls tell me this isn’t true since ik gen z is the young adult gen and is taking over club culture 😭🙏🏽

what was your best bar/club experience?

Top Comment: Not sure you’re going to find too much pro-nightclub sentiment amongst the bedwetters and basements dwellers of Reddit tbh. Good nightclubs that play good dance music and with friendly crowds are places of great fun and enjoyment. Adults playground type stuff. I suspect the kind of club you’re referring to has a dress code and is called something like Bo Jangles and closes at 2am with a latent threat of violence and people “on the pull”. In which case, yes they’re shit and not really a nightclub.
