Can someone explain why bars are supposedly fun? I was tricked into going to one recently, I went for 30min and left immediately. I just don't understand how people can listen to Sweet Home Alabama every single time they go out...seriously in the past 7 years pretty much every time I've gone out I've heard that damn song. If it isn't classic rock, country or 80s music, it is some type of crappy pop music which makes my ears bleed. In addition, the music is so loud you have to scream. I don't know maybe it's just me but bars are not fun and I really wish I could understand why people go and most importantly how do you get people to pay to go to a bar and listen to the same thing over and over and over again...

*sports bars are somewhat of an exception because there is an activity associated with going...

Sounds like you're just going to the wrong bar.

Clubs here are gay and theres to many mexicans. I prefer the bars here where theres a juke box, boarded up windows, seat less toilets, and a 50% chance to get thrown out head first out the door by some 300lb redneck or some dirty biker but the end of the night.

I'm not a drinker which is why I don't think they are fun.


Monkey Bars popped into my head when I read your first sentence.

Monkey Bars are sooooooooooooooooooo FUN!

imo, bars are great for hanging with your buddies and just shooting the breeze. lounges, etc for other purposes. if you're going into a bar expecting more, then you'll probably be disappointed.

Bars are the only alternative to shitty clubs if you live where I live (Saskatoon, SK, Canada ). Here, clubs equate to bigger bars - still can't hear anyone over the noise, the music sucks gorilla balls, and the purpose of going is to get drunk and score, which is why clubs here are so strongly associated with the meat market, making most attendees male. It does attract the gay population, though .

I'm so glad I'm moving to Waterloo (1 hour from Toronto) by next term!

Bars are for weak people who need an excuse to hit on other people. I'm right there with ya. I only have fun at bars if I stick with a group (3+) friends and get wasted. Otherwise I realized what is around me and leave.
