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

Trump put a 100% tariff on fun.
More a tariff on life itself.

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?

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.

The stuff I've been going to in the SF Bay Area has been pretty lit lately.

No one wants some 20 year old jackass taping them for TikTok clout.

...Might help to mention what hemisphere you're in, or continent you're on? Or country? Or city?
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.
Yeah they be from somewhere outside the united states like Hawaii

Sooooo fucking on point. If you arent a sports fan in my area you would be so curious of the same question depending on time of year or success of season. Super anecdotal but just 1 example of tons and tons of variables that effect the bar/restaurant/hospitality industry

Or New Mexico.
Or New Vegas.

Obviously from the US because they think every human is from the US.

Ever since some courier showed up a few of the casinos are basically empty. Makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter.

Americans legit think the internet ends at their borders. Even relatively modern places like Bluesky are so infuriating for not understanding how internet works.

I just read some article about how Germany has supposedly been experiencing a decline in the club scene for some years, and how there's a word for it.
kagi
Not the article I was thinking of, but the word is clubsterben.

Is Berlin in a 'club death' spiral?

Iirc, in the US (assumed due to "$"), any establishment that serves food or drink is required to provide free tap water.
Also, apply inflation to the fact that bars, and especially clubs, have always been expensive.
Also, "clubs are full of assholes" has been a meme since at least the 80s.

OP is asking about a change they noticed in the last few months. This has not changed in the last few months.

Yeah, this is the obvious answer. OP lives in a city with one or more colleges. They went out in mid May, when all the students were finishing finals. Then they went out last night in July, when all the students are working summer jobs or internships or are back home.
