Drink beer and look at the "menu"...

 

[darkangel9685]

i prefer a good bar with drinks that arent watered down over a club anyday....

besides, has anyone heard club/house/trance/whatever the crap they play at clubs....bleh! Give me some good classic southern rock and a jack and coke and i'm a happy man!

I always wear earplugs at the club or live concert. Believe it or not you can communicate and hear the music just fine with them in.

Well.... people generally dont go to clubs for the beer or to 'talk' to other people.

Exactly. The title of this thread clearly says clubs not pubs.

If you want a Chimay or Westmalle you're not going to seek it out at a club.

I've only once had a really good time at a club, in my limited experience of them, in the now gone Velfarre club in Tokyo, when it wasn't so busy.

Nowadays, I don't drink, so, more so than before, getting tanked up and destroying your hearing doesn't appeal to me.

I work in a club and both have gotten used to it, and also already have mild hearing loss from my childhood. Sure, sometimes I'm bothered when the bass is turned up so high that glassware is falling off the edges of counters, but otherwise I've just gotten to where I can mostly ignore how loud the music is.

Well, the OP did ask what I do in a club... and if, by some freak chance, I ever found myself to be in one of these "clubs", then it would mean that I had somehow lost my sense of direction on the way to the local pub and wandered, unknowingly, into the place.

So, if I were in a club, it would mean that I wasn't supposed to be there, and I would leave as quickly as possible and head back on my way to the good beer.

The worst part is even if they have a nice system, they put the volume so high its distortion city. I don't understand, completely ruins the music. But I guess that's how people like it.

 

[squall343]

i cannot last 5 minutes in there

 

[Skorpitarius]

yes, definetly use earplugs for that or any loud environment ... save your ears ...

 

[apatN]

I know. My ears ring whenever I, eh, 'wake up' the day after. Way too loud indeed.

 

[torjeh]

Yeah, I just don't go to clubs ... works out quite well!

Reminds me of a song from a local artist:

YouTube - Meat Market Special - Kaya album launch party

When I used to go out, I avoided places like you describe in preference to quiet, dark places where you could meet and talk to very interesting people and get slowly and fabulously loaded. When I went to loud clubs, however, I had enough "fun" that I didn't really want to go back any time soon and my friends who did frequent those sort of places didn't really want me to be with them there. It worked out for everyone in the end.

Some clubs have very good sound systems that don't distort at loud volumes. I remember one club I used to like that had the subwoofers built into a stage area so it used the actual stage for air, I could stand by the subs it and the insides of my body would shake from the low frequnecies. I used to love that feeling. You had to be there.
