pdbmn   10 #1 Posted October 12, 2017 does anyone else like to hear music when they go to a pub/bar, but not so loud that you can't talk/hear your friends i complained in one place recently and i thought the bar staff were going to be quite helpful, and just get the dj to turn it down a notch ... but they just stood around the bar and had a laugh about me Fair enough if it is late in the evening but i'm sure lots of people would like to use places early on and not be drowned out by what's playing ... but not just get a narrow minded suggestion to go to a Wetherspoons pub where there's (usually) no music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

pdbmn   10 #3 Posted October 12, 2017 why does it have to be loud? i'm not suggesting it should be really quiet, just at a medium level then if they automatically equate 'loud' with being 'better' they can gradually turn it up as the evening goes on .

Tavit   10 #4 Posted October 13, 2017 If a pub is paying someone to play music, they want it loud to attract the people of whatever genre they are playing and keep them in. I personally don't like it loud because I go out for a chat and a catch up, so I wouldn't pick a pub with a DJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
paula4sheff   10 #5 Posted October 13, 2017 Doesn't it depend what you want? Sometimes I want loud music- I seek out somewhere that is playing it. More often I want a quiet drink and a chat, so I go somewhere that is offering that. There's always a variety- just find somewhere that suits your mood!
