I love the idea that every place in BR has to be strictly categorized, and everyone who doesn't strictly meet that particular categorization must forever swear it off

That's how bars work. Some bars even manage to have multiple crowds, but they have them there at different times.

For example, City Bar is filled with Jersey Shore types at 10:00pm, but has happy hour types at 5:00pm.

The main types of people at bars in BR are as follows:
Hipsters 18-22 (Spanish Moon, The Library, ect)
Hipsters 21-35 (Radio Bar, Chelsea's, ect)
Greeks 18-23 (Reggies, Fred's, Bogies, ect)
Jersey Shore 18-22 (Click's, ect)
Jersey Shore 22-35 (City Bar, ect)
Blacks 18+
Young Professionals 22-35 (Lucy's, Pelican House, The Office, Schlitz and Giggles, ect)
Rednecks 18+ (Texas Club)
Happy Hour: 35+ (Boudreaux & Thibodaux's, Walk-On's, Happy's, ect)

Young professionals will generally drink with most groups.

Rednecks and tap/out will drink with each other, but rarely with others.

Greeks and hipsters don't go to the same places.

Young hipsters will drink with blacks up to a point (see The Library), but won't tolerate anyone old.

Happy Hour people are out of the area by the time any other group is going out anyways.
