Has anyone else noticed how dead most bars/clubs are now?
-
Or New Mexico.
Or New Vegas.

...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.
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 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 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?

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

No one wants some 20 year old jackass taping them for TikTok clout.
OP is asking about a change they noticed in the last few months. This has not changed in the last few months.

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

You're mostly right, laws don't exist anymore though and when they did, there are plenty of carve outs for businesses.

People just spent a few hundred dollars taking their families to watch the 2 biggest movies of the summer and now in 2 weeks the kids return to school and need supplies. Money is tight right now and priorities.
