Who here hates nightclubs?

rox5 · 11-05-2013 07:54PM #1

I am 20 year old female and for some reason I have come to realise that I hate nightclubs. It breaks my heart having to pay an entrance fee of 10euros, and only able to afford two cheapest drinks available, not enough to get me drunk enough to enjoy the overly loud music and overcrowding. So I am sober and bored out of my mind, trying to get drunken geezers and creeps to keep away from me in a place that is meant to be "great craic" and I am only 20.
I started off going to pubs in my countryside but disliked them because was too many people I knew, too much gossip and drama because the countryside is where everyone knows everyone, and also I did a lot of my immature, drunken crap in those pubs, so that rep is pretty hard to shake off. So I couldn't wait to go to the nightclubs in town, but after two years of the nightclub scene I never thought I'd see the day where I want to go back to the pub scene and to those particular pubs, the people won't change but at least I wont be totally broke by the end of the night and it is not as crowded, even on a birthday party.

I dunno I feel like a boring auld one for hating nightclubs, is there anyone else my age who feels the same?

I'm a 21 year old female, I'd much rather a pub with good company and a bit of trad

Outkast_IRE · 11-05-2013 07:57PM

Give me a late bar, with a good band anyday before a club.

Don't you hate pants?

You need to discover predrinking and sneaking in yourself a naggin.

Then the nights get a whole lot better

Frank Black · 11-05-2013 07:59PM

What's your alternative suggestion?

Notorious97 · 11-05-2013 07:59PM

Pub with a good crowd around you, and good music, preferably irish trad or something along those lines and im happy!

Late 20s here but have felt that way since same age as you, clubs are a waste of time!

Fr_Dougal · 11-05-2013 08:00PM

Ya I'm a 21 year old female and I agree. Any other 20-21 year old females fancy a slumber party and drinkies in mine? I'll send my older brother around with his van to collect you if you like.

Nightclubs are grand if you're drunk.

They are a nightmare if you're sober.

A late bar with free entry and a dance floor beats a nightclub every time though.

GLaDOS · 11-05-2013 08:00PM

Try to avoid them whenever possible, generally end up having a terrible night.

awec · 11-05-2013 08:00PM

Who goes to a nightclub sober? You don't go to a nightclub to get drunk, you go when you are already drunk.

Drink somewhere else first.

Schnitzel Muncher · 11-05-2013 08:01PM

I hate nightclubs. Waste of money to get in, loud, packed and many have toilet attendants.

Pilotdude5 · 11-05-2013 08:01PM

I haven't been going to nightclubs much for the last year, just pubs and house parties. I honestly find myself missing the clubs!

Liam90 · 11-05-2013 08:02PM

My girlfriend and I are the same, she is 22 and i'm 23. We often laugh at how old we feel, we both can't stand the horrible loud music and the sauna like environment.

That's true, only managed to get drunk one night because a guy I was talking to kept buying me drinks, and it made the night a lot better when your in a drunken daze, lol. :cool:
It was not that great though when the same guy tried to lead me into a bathroom

:eek: Hence another reason why I don't get drunk in nightclubs

Pumpkinseeds · 11-05-2013 08:03PM

Haven't been to a nightclub since the mid 90's and don't care if I never see one again. I did far too much clubbing in those days.

Impossible to do that when bouncers turn you away if you are drunk.

Well, obviously not that drunk where you look like you're stupid.

Bouncers won't turn you away for being drunk, they'll turn you away for being a messy drunk who's obviously on their last legs.

Nightclubs aren't all full of lads trying to get you into the bathrooms, maybe he just needed to use the toilet and didn't want you going anywhere?

Seriously though, just predrink. Cans of Kepplers I find do the trick, 4 for a fiver and they're 6% each and very easy to drink, being cider.
Add a naggin of vodka for a fiver and you're pretty much sorted drinkwise for a tenner without getting absolutely shítfaced. (Or very shítfaced depending on your tolerance)

HAAAATE them with a passion. Trying to talk to someone just turns into a chore when **** Nicky Minaj songs are blasting into your ear.

DaithiMa · 11-05-2013 08:09PM

The trick is (if you are getting on a bit which I am) to choose your nightclub carefully. Avoid those places that will be full of teenyboppers and pick somewhere where you know the music will be to your liking, and the crowd will be of a similar age. I know that is hard to do down the country where selection is limited, but in Dublin there are clubs to suit most ages and tastes. I wouldn't go out to them as much as I used to, but when I do I usually enjoy it because I know what I am gonna get-good tunes and a good crowd.
Now i'm in the mood to go out tonight damn it. I hear the twisted pepper calling....

titan18 · 11-05-2013 08:13PM

I'm a non-drinker so ya, I hate them. Full of drunken idiots and people being taken advantage of

Tom_Cruise · 11-05-2013 08:13PM

As soon as i enter a club ( i go by myself ), i can visibly see women look at me then turn around and tap there friends before pointing in my direction.

They do this with a face of disgust. Unable to comprehend how a human being can be so ugly, they must alert their friends of what they have seen.

So no, i don't really like clubs.

strobe · 11-05-2013 08:13PM

I remember, this one time at band camp, I went to a nightclub without planning to take ecstasy... that was silly.

6am7f9zxrsjvnb · 11-05-2013 08:14PM

you`re essentially looking for love in a loveless environment...still can be great craic as long as you`re locked upon entering.

Since when have you had a van ?

candy-gal1 · 11-05-2013 08:15PM

Couldnt agree more with the OP tbh, I havent gone to one since I think when I was about 20/21 where I did kinda enjoy it but that was before I found rock bars/cheap drink nights and the like it was from then that I actually had FUN and enjoyed myself on nights out tbh

26 now and if I go to a nightclub now its usually because of a friends birthday or something or a themed one like 80s etc with cheap drink promos, I just cant bring myself to pay more than a fiver, or anything, tbh, just to get into a bar, just seems stupid imho, and then ridiculous prices on drink too :rolleyes:
I understand that some people just predrink and sneak drink in, nothing wrong with that, but to me if I had to do that on a night out Id much rather buy some drink and stay in with my own company/few dvds etc, makes more sense to me in that case.

The Backwards Man · 11-05-2013 08:16PM

I'm a 65 year old man and I love nightclubs. Go every week.:)

11-05-2013 08:17PM

I have always hated nightclubs! I don't like the music, I generally only listen to rock and alternative rock, I'm not into hooking up, I HATE dancing, I hate the vibe, I know exactly where you're coming from!

krudler · 11-05-2013 08:19PM

Late bars ftw, paying 12 quid to queue for most of the night is a pain in the hole

Who here hates nightclubs?
