What is the retirement age for Night Clubbing?

Rare Groove · 06/09/13 - 22:22

A friend of mine told me he got turned away from a club, with the Door men saying he was not the right age for the crowd. He is 41 and that he could try the pubs and bars.

Poor guy still in shock

To be fair, I think someone of that age should be long since past nightclubs.

19 and a half. Anyone over that is just geriatric.

[Deleted User] · 06/09/13 - 22:33

My issue these days isn't my age - it's the distinct lack of Knights around to club to begin with

Disagree!

It would be an issue if he did it so often but it's very occasional. I would like to go once in a while at that age.

Who says people should stop enjoying dancing after a certain age?

About 30.

Stupid night club if you ask me .. as a general rule, more mature (older) people not only have more disposable income than those in their late teens and early 20's but are less likely to cause trouble by being drunk + disorderly or off their heads on substances not purchased legally from the club.

Having worked in pubs + clubs for many years, I always found the best places were the ones who didn't have such an ageist policy and whose clientele covered a massive age range.

I retired at 32 or 33. There were still people older than me going then but I did think they looked a bit out of place.

Clubbing is the worst activity a person can do.

Shite music
Crammed like sardines
Dirty toilets
Vodka soaked bar

I would rather take a crowbar up my arse.

There isnt one if you are cool. 25 if you are not cool.

If you are cool, you never start nightclubbing.

Depends on the type of nightclub.

Nothing then more sad then seeing a old bloke in a nightclub .. leering at young women

Only people who can't dance say that.

There's clubs which cater for that too.

I stopped clubbing in my late 20's when I realised I was one of the oldest people there.

littlebooties · 06/09/13 - 23:14

The last time I went 'seriously' I was about 28.

More recently I went along to a friends 35th birthday celebration and she wanted to go to a club. We went and ended up sat there looking at each other for a while, said what the hell are we doing here, and went home again.

Would rather do movies, live music, theatre, or eating out instead - even staying in with a take away and dvd is my preference these days.

Miss XYZ · 06/09/13 - 23:16

Where I live, people of all ages go clubbing. From the youngsters right up to a few pensioners (my Grandad is one of them! :eek:

).

But everyone knows their place - the youngsters go to certain clubs, and other clubs tend to have slightly older people going in them. There's enough to cater for everyone.

Yeah yeah, I bet you like to put Simply Red on the jukebox down the working men's club

netcurtains · 06/09/13 - 23:20

I got bored of it before I was 18.

It depends on the club there are loads of clubs in Liverpool particularly on Matthew Street packed full of older people.

Was he wearing a trilby and a wolfish grin?

You do know there are clubs where oldies go. Ever heard of Reflex Club? They seem to be in the major cities.

This made me genuinely LOL

There are clubs for specific genres (like rare groove

) which you can go to; those places will generally have patrons who are 35 plus. Not sure about more popular music.
