Has anyone else noticed how dead most bars/clubs are now?

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?

Do you live in a college town?

Probably depends on the area, but I’m in a high COL work-focused one and I’ve been noticing people going on their phones more these days. Even the bartenders. It’s kinda sad.

Yeah, man, I get the feeling you're talking about. There's stuff to talk about, but no one wants to talk about it anymore. But it's hard not to think about that shit though...

It's a financial thing. There's a K shaped economy, with no middle class, and the lower class dealt with inflation for a while with credit card debt... and... those credit cards are filled up.
Middle class is still working class.

Trump economy. Enough said
Trump put a 100% tariff on fun.

Could be finals season for summer students if you live near a university.

I think it's worth pointing out that in the northern hemisphere it's summer right now, so if that's where you're located there's a lot of people going on vacations and having parties right now.
My social circles aren't exactly rolling in it, but at any given time over the summer, there's still at least a couple people I know are the beach, camping, having a BBQ or bonfire, or hanging out at a pool somewhere on their downtime when they might have been at a bar or something otherwise.
If you live in a touristy area, yeah, that's the economy, bars should be booming there.
I remember a couple years ago on a whim a couple of friends and I decided to go to a bar that's usually packed with a line well out the door of people waiting to get it. But it just happened to be a holiday weekend so lots of people had other plans, and we got in no problem.

Too expensive, too many handsy douchebags, just not fun.

The reason for your local change in nightlife could be anything from a wide, wide range of reasons, almost all of which depend heavily on where you are.
Let's not be like the uncouth Defaultist Americans that assume everybody in the world lives where they do. Let's be better, and let's provide a location when it's key info.

There’s an obvious answer here if you live in a College town/city.

Tried to go to an event at my favorite bar last week and it was sold out, so I can't confirm the issue.

I walk past a couple bars a lot and they seem to have the same amount of people. All the outside tables had folks last night.
I'm not going to bars because I'm unemployed. Like I say, if capital wants me to spend money they can give me some, first.

No money and too expensive. Your option for water is sold in a can that costs $5. Alcoholic drinks are almost double the price now. And at least for my city, the bar districts are now just full of assholes who post-pandemic seemed to forget how to act in public especially when alcohol is involved.
