So bored of nights out

I'm supposed to be going out tonight with my friend. The trouble is, every time we go out it's the same. I can even picture in my head the clothes we'll both be wearing.
We'll start off in Wetherspoons and have vodka and orange, then go to some cheesey bar, it'll be smokey and crowded, too loud to have a conversation, the music will be shit (hate the music in bars and clubs at the moment like that "something about your body" song).
After several hours of spending money I don't have, I'll be dragged to the chip shop even though I'm on a diet.
This has been the same routine for years. How can I make our nights out a bit different and something to look forward to?
Do you still enjoy nights out?

just go to different bars!and start off somehwere different! you live in birmingham, i'm sure there are loads to choose from. different bars and clubs will play different music. they don't all have to be cheesy. i'm sure there are ones that play funky house or indie music or whatever it is you're into. if you're not sure which ones to go to do a bar crawl.
also, is there anyone else you can invite out? that would add a different dynamic to just you and your friend.
as for me, yeh i still love nights out. i have more than one friendship group though so i go to different places depending on who i'm with. i know some people who go to the local pub followed by walkabout every weekend. that would drive me insane! variety is the spice of life.
I went out last week with people from work and had a really good time so it's not like this all the time, just with old friends, which is kind of sad really.
When i first got to uni i only really knew my best mate, who is also my house mate an things got a bit boring but now we've settled in an made loads of new friends its wicked, also when i come home from uni its good to go out too cos i havent been for a while.
Where is your usual night out? Broad Street?
like has been said, try new places, new faces, new order of doing things
If we go to Birmingham it's usually Broad Street yeah. We tried going to the Arcadian but it was poncey and expensive, the mailbox is too expensive..I'm not a big fan of broad street but at least there's a load of bars altogether.
I'm going to hunt around for somewhere to go tonight as I seriously cannot bear another idenitkit night!
and if you can picture in your head what you think is going to happen then change it..wear something different, go to different places, invite different people out.
Could you introduce your friends to the places you go to with work? Since you're a reporter, could you get free tickets for something and take your mates along?
