I remember just a few months ago bars and clubs being super packed and now there’s hardly anybody at them. What’s going on?

Edit: I’m in the Los Angeles area

    I mean here in Canada why would I go to a bar and spend like $12 on a single pint of beer when I can go to the store and pay the same amount and get like 6 pints?

    Back in my 20’s when I could go to the bar and pay $1.50 for a pint of PBR, sure it made sense. it was cheaper and i was with friends. I could get drunk on the cheap and have a good time.

    now? there’s no point. Cheap Dive bars (the ones I used to frequent) are going the way of the buffalo and in my city there’s literally like only one left out of the dozens I used to go to all the time. I’m not paying over $10 for a single beer. Plus the patrons that still do go to bars are crap. they all would rather be on their phones then have a conversation at the bar.

    so to sum up A. it’s more expensive and B. younger generations killed the vibe.
