Get in the Quarry!
Lol.
Last time I went in there it was like an episode of Fight Club, but with fellas who`d pissed themselves and had no teeth.
I used to go the gym with my former brother-in-law, no matter what weights he picked up he would let out a massive "tssssha' while pulling a face like Purple Aki had slipped one in him. Awful.

I joined a gym here in Thailand.
There's a Danish idiot who actually screams when he lifts.
Put my right off my zumba stretches.

If you would have seen the state of the singletons in a 'Spoons in Southampton I was in the other week, you wouldn't have needed to ask that question.
It’s part of their ethos, that a single woman can enter any Wetherspoons for a drink and not get hassled.
I think there’s an exemption for the Tommy Frost though !

I don't know. The ambience, I guess.
Perhaps something to do with it being more of an eaterie than a bar with families about, waiting staff etc. Of course, they're not all exactly the same.
The ones I visit tend not to have loud music playing or football on the big screen which, as we know, is popular with coarse, beer-swilling chaps.

Was in town for a couple of hours before , the drunken middle class Christmas whopper I just can’t stand them . Rude to the point of obnoxious without even a basic understanding of boozer etiquette, leaving their half drunk beers everywhere, stumbling about and treating bar staff like serfs . No wonder there is murder every Christmas , so annoying .

Finding Enlightenment: I used to despise the fact that pubs existed that utterly ripped you off over the price of a pint. Other than losing wadfuls of cash into their grasping hands, I resented the fact that they treated people like idiots for going along with it.
Then I realised people were enjoying it. People enjoy looking like the big man, splashing the cash. Also there was a certain type of woman who seeks out this kind of expensive bar so they can be bought drinks by those idiotic or wealthy enough to buy the "raffle ticket drinks."
I long wondered what the allure of such places was, and why people kept going. It's not as though high prices kept the riff-raff away, like you said, such places attract the knobs. They are always overcrowded, loud and often have some form of pointless discriminatory dress code.
Then came the enlightenment - such places keep the knobs and the gold mining women out of the rest of the pubs. They're like fly paper, making 'normal' pubs better places. Now I love that such places exist. I'm the one, if going out with a big bunch of work colleagues, would purposefully dress such that our group would never be allowed into such an establishment.
It's social engineering - pub style.
Couldn`t agree more.
People drink there to " be seen " and the bar makes the most of it whilst they can.
As the one thing you can guarantee is that once the next " in " place opens up nearby, all the butterflies flock there in droves, leaving the original " in " place empty.
Rinse and repeat.
Add to that, you'll get also those sheep who follow the trend by drinking the new, most expensive drink, whatever that may be, regardless of whether it's enjoyable.
I've got friends who'll happily fork out wads of cash on a 'fashionable' booth, huge bottle of vodka or sparkling stuff so they look trendy; I just have a bottle of beer.
Guess who is enjoying themselves more and actually enjoying what they're drinking!
