oing out in Louisiana 22-30ish seems to be terrible. Crowded, smoke filled bars, retarded patrons, shitty overpriced beer, etc. You have to head out to a real city to find fun bars for that age range.

Too much ignorance in this post to even address, must have come from a jaded neighbor to the east.

Where can I find these smoke filled bars in NOLA?

i haven't been to a club in a decade, longer than that by my own volition.

a good neighborhood pub now and then is definitely still fun, and I still love New Orleans bars.

i like going to weird bars when on the road, especially in cool cities like NYC and SF and small coastal and mountain towns.

my absolute favorite is the bar at my local ski hill in Montana. No tourists. Active, laid back folks. Great food. Fireplace. Cheap drinks, especially for a ski place.

But yes, you definitely grow out of it.

I'm 41 and I occasionally go out by myself to bars, especially karaoke bars.

That might be the most depressing sentence I've read on the OT.

Something tells me it was intentionally written void of the smallest shred of self-respect.

Qualify retarded patrons and tell me about these shitty overpriced beers. Then tell me where to go in "real" cities to avoid these things.

Make friends outside of bar then go to bar with said friends.
Bar is fun again.

Never knew there was a certain age and standard to do things. who wrote those rules?

Also, go to better bars.

This.

I concur with your statement. It's really just a function of the state's population and the fact that any worthwhile young professionals have moved to other states
