It’s too fucking loud. This makes me sound like an old man – I’m not. I’m twenty years old and like loud music as much as the next guy. But when I’m at the bar and can’t make out a word my friends are saying – there’s a problem. Trying to wheel a girl at the bar also gets exponentially harder when you can’t hear your own thoughts. Turn it down, I can’t hear a damn thing this morning. —Deafened

If you’re talking you’re not drinking.
acoustics are a difficult art in small spaces.
If you don’t like it don’t go to the bars then…
Fuck the bars in this shithole. Bunch of outdated, dirty, hot, smelly, dive bars with ignorant staff that expect a 2.00 tip for each drink, after you likely paid anywhere from 5.00 to 15.00 for a cover charge to get treated like drunken college trash. Fuck you, Halifax bar owners. I got your money and you ain’t getting any of it, douchebags!!!!!
That’s why I love Gus’. It also makes me miss that socializing smoke break outside.
my son in law says ‘if the music’s too loud – you’re too old’
sigh.
maybe it’s time to switch to lounges op.
Those dancy-club places… yak.
Horrible nights to be had for all.
If you insist on going though, it may be worth your while to learn a few of the basics of reading lips.
It comes in handy in more situations than that one, I assure you.
