I thought it would be interesting to see who prefers pubs and who prefers nightclubs, so i thought i may as well start a thread
Anyhoo, personally i prefer pubs, as i find that at pubs i usually get treated with respect, and its easy to meet people and join in on conversations and stuff, and i generally just have a really good time. At nightclubs, on the other hand, I usually get treated as if i'm carrying a bomb, due to the fact that i look pretty young for my age (21), and it usually takes me about 5 minutes just to get in, even though i have my ID on me at all times. And when i DO get in i find its hard for me to enjoy myself as everyone's usually off doing their own little thing, and the bouncers usually watch me like a hawk, which is why i don't go to nightclubs very often.

On holiday I've liked the open air nightclubs on the beaches
clubs later
Cheesy clubs are alright for picking up birds, bu not much else.
me too...
Generally I'm a pub kinda gal, it's possibly to do with finances but it is nice to have a good ole chat too. I'm a sucker for a pub with a jukebox (especially if it's free, as it is in my new local haunt). But there's one particular club that I would take over any night down the pub ever. That said, it has several floors and a pub kinda-vibe in parts so maybe that's nice.
Off there tonight, feeling a bit hyperactive and possibly suffering from sunstroke :hyper:
I much prefer pubs though, its true, you do get treated better by the staff, like guests instead of pottentional terrorists.
Not that pubs suck or anything, it's just people are way more sociable and stuff in nightclubs I reckon :yes:
I know your type, your a tart!
Cheesy clubs are the easiest places to [pick up ladies. You knwo that obviously!
So bar all the way. Though I've only ever been a handfull of those...
:yes:
I agree, I would rather go to a rave than a club...
I'm not a huge fan of cheesy clubs, but thats cos im not a big fan of cheesy music. As you say they are easy for pulling birds and they can be a laugh if your with a big group and all pissed up!
pubs can be a real laugh with the karaoke and stuff, but i prefer bars really, the ones that are like pubs but only open at weekends and at night and usually play a mix of music from cheesy stuff to modern and charge decent prices.
ETA: i do hate pubs and bars where you have to shout above the loud music though, like wtf if i want to get deafened i'll go to a club thanks, the yates in lewisham is notoriously bad for that.......
But when I'm in a chilled mood I hate them and just want to sit and relax somewhere.
Me too, but I tend to get shitfaced in the pub first and get knocked back from the club later on
I could tell you about a million stories from great nights out at clubs, but I'd really struggle to get a lot of good stories from nights when I just sat in the pub all night.
Well surely that's 'cause you can't go to clubs during the day, or earlier on in the evening..?
I loke nice bars and good clubs,
i quite often do the whole student thing ie shit dinks in cheesey pubs and clubs but really that only because thats what my mates want to do. Id rather be in a club that i have payed a bit more to get in to but its playing the music that i like.
The same goes with bars id rather pay more and go in somewere nice that serves good beer and drinks than go somewere and drink piss for a £1.
I like going out really late after work to one of the local bars in town (well i did until they served me a drink with a mouldy lime in it and wouldnt change it). I find that late on all the pissed nob heads have gone home and come 5 / 6 there are just the workers and the people that are off their heads loving the music left. I hate places withloads of atitude. I cant relax if its full of beer boys and posers.
If I want to go for a few quiet drinks for a chat and to chill out I'd go to a pub. If I want to have a laugh and dance like a plank then club everytime.
