What age are you too old to go to a nightclub?

Duggy747

Never understood this age limit shìte for things. If a club is full of young 'uns then you're going to the wrong clubs, plenty of ones with older crowds out there.

I had a 16 year old once ask me in a club "Aren't you a bit old to be here?"

......:mad:......

I had to reply back with "Shouldn't you be at home doing your homework, you lil' twerp!?!"

jackiebaron, I think the poster meant proper DJ sets like Tiesto, 2 Many DJ's, Oakenfold etc. rather than the ****e that's pumped out in most Irish clubs.

aww shít i was thinking inferior DJ that play darkwave, synthpunk industrial goth n deathrock to probably more older clientelle.

should probably consider fleeing ireland lol..

will end up in sinister bondage club in dortmund

It depends on the type of nighclub too though - if you want one that plays Black-Eyed Peas and the likes, yeah, that will be swarming with kiddies, but kinda specialised club nights tend to draw a crowd aged between late teens and 40s. All the good clubs in Cork are closed now, but whenever there's a one-off club night, I'll usually go and I never feel too old as there are plenty there my age and older.

Good comeback

Also don't get me started on the clothes that these young 'uns are wearing nowadays in these meatmarkets oh I mean nightclubs!! Ok I am starting to sound like my mother now and will stop typing now :cool:

Actually....just thinking about it now if we ever do venture to a club we spend the entire time out in the smoking area so we can actually chat.
Plus the benefit of having a bar in the smoking area comes in handy, so we don't have to travel through the crowds on the floor :pac:

I can't stand nightclubs.

Ive often wondered how many people actually like (without recourse to drugs) going to nightclubs and how many people just go there because they cant think of any other way of getting their hole ?

I was in coppers last night and the Irish Cricket team were there. They're old enough.

Never liked clubs since I first started going. It was always a case of really enjoying the night in the pub up until around 12, then the impending doom of a crowded club with ear splitting jungle music would dawn on me! Theres nothing as awful as the mangled car crash that is music played at 150db. Well actually no, trying to hold a conversation in these conditions is worse.

Im just glad Im at an age where house parties, late bars or some fireside knitting seem like more worthwhile pursuits!

PeterIanStaker

Whatever age I was when I worked in one. Mid 20's.

jeebus...kindred spirits in AH. who wudda thunk it.

fcukin hate nightclubs too...always have, but think it might have a lot to do with my supreme lack of success in them. (I reckon I'm unrivalled in nightclub related super fails)

in fact the only time I enjoyed a nightclub experience was the time I witnessed two lads I vaguely knew in college got kicked out of the Palace on camden st (probably called something else now)

then succeed in breaking back in via the rooftops and small bathroom window at the back

and then get nabbed by the police in the club as the owner/manager had called them (due to them setting alarm off) thinking they were burglars

and the funniest bit (for me anyway)

they thought they would avoid detection by turning their shirts inside out


classic, classic stuff....wish I was younger again.

really depends on the place. I'm 30 but have been to some good clubs here and abroad lately.

****ing hell, finally.

I assume people are talking about generic Coppers/Palace style clubs. Yeah, they're **** and they get old quickly.

But if you find a club with decent music that suits your taste, and with sound people with whom you might actually get along, you'll have a good time.

I like a good chat and few pints dowh in the pub myself, but for me comparing it to a night out in a club is an apples/oranges scenario.

to a degree, thats why i tried to change the focus from live concert to discoteque on entering 30, the focus off the performer maybe.. but whats on the sound system still dictates whatsorts turn up

or is it vice versa. do you mean get with or go with

I don't mean to sound bad, but....
You all seem extremely pretentious on the subject,
what do you care what age somebody who goes to night clubs?

If someone wants to go to a night club and they are over 16, 19, 20,
or whatever other ages people said, fair play to them.

Hopefully I'll still have the energy to jitterbug in coppers when I get to 60.
(ps. coppers is shit.)
(pps. I just needed an example people would know.)

Hawk Wing 2

Wouldn't dream of bothering with cheesey pick joints like Coopers but go to decent clubs to hear house and techno, almost entirely abroad though, I'm 33

silverspoon

Thread is making me feel old - and I'm 23.

Thread is also making me think that there's a market for a club with decent music and a strict age policy...but in Ireland? No, we need Black Eyed Peas and Rihanna and a policy that allows 15 yr olds to puke blue (from the vodka and WKDs) everywhere...

Once it enters your brain, it goes a-bang-bang-bang 'til your feet do the same...

Yep, and once the place isn't suffocatingly jam-packed.

Not all of us - I'd fully advocate not giving a sh1t what age people who go clubbing are.

You can do what you like when you like.I saw a couple in their sixties off their face in a club on holidays ,if that was here ,it would be super strange.
Poeple are entitled to go out whatever age they are.Though to the 50 yr old dude following me the other night -just no.

JupiterKid

Anything over 29 is just way, way too old in my opinion.*














*being totally sarcy. I just turned 36 and I still go clubbing from time to time. Whose right is it to deem someone too old for a venue? But as the others posted here, most of what passes for nightclubs in this country are shyte. Anyhow, haven't late bars sort of replaced nightclubs over the past 10 years to an extent?

the_syco

Depends on the venue/people.

Local nightclub, I'd be too old for any of the crap they play. Nightclub in town, grand. Play tunes that I knew. Metal nightclub: always plays awesome music, and people are all chilled.
