Many of us share the idea that music in establishments like restaurants or bars should create a pleasant atmosphere, and I don't think it's because of age either. I'm 50 years old and recently went to a nightclub, but that's different. In a nightclub, it's okay to listen to whatever they want to play in that place, that's what it's for.
But when you go with a group of friends to a place to hang out and where live bands might be playing, or the place simply plays a certain style of music, they should understand that not everyone is going to tolerate that, and besides, how can we talk to our friends if the blaring music doesn't let us? That has also happened to me. But in my case, I left the place, not without complaining about the blaring music, and in fact, I've never been back to that place.
Are nightclubs still a thing? I've not been to one for thirty years or more and can't see it happening anytime in the future.
Anyway, you're right, to hang around and chat with friends it's not good for the music to be so loud; I was pretty disappointed with it as we're all of the group - we'll not be going back there for dinner again.
Yes, they still exist here, they may have another name, but I call it that way, I think I still have the name of discotheque, since thirty years ago.
That local is the one they lose, because the way you write it, I'm sure or almost sure that your friends won't go to that place again either.
Ah ok, I didn't know...I thought no one went to nightclubs anymore.
