C. In some cases, I only got as far as the gogo bar entrance & then decided not to go in due to excessive music volume. I do try to tell the doormen why I'm not going in, as if enough people do that, they might just see sense. Eventually.
Music should never be loud enough to interfere with conversation.
So, bearing in mind the age profle of SGT members, that'd be about 50 dB then?

Whoooo ! I clearly understand hearing loss as we get older.
For me, the answer is to carry acoustic ear plugs whenever I go out. That way, if I find a place I like but the
"music" is too loud, I just put in my ear plugs. So if you see a guy wandering about with bits of yellow foam poking out of his ears then that could be me.

I think some of you should stop posting on this board and subscribe to the monthly newsletter from Saga. Maybe a coach/walking holiday in some genteel part of the English countryside would be a more appropriate holiday for you.

So, aside from that Arsenal, are you voting A, B or C?
No oldies means no gay Pattaya.
My vote, predictably some may think, goes for bars with quieter music. And (thinking of Boyztown) and walls. Thick ones.
Well Old Git if I have to choose I'm going to go for a. I usually go to a go go bar alone and so conversation is not of prime importance. However I don't recall ever having problems with too loud music. This is more of a beer bar thing I think. Sometimes the corner where BBB is located has several places rocking the soi with different songs.
c) Negatively deterred by loud music
When I enter a bar or disco, I have a look around first, if it there is too loud music or I can spot smoking and there is nothing in sight that can compensate for the inconvenience, I use that as an excuse to leave. Otherwise I might stay.
When going to disco I know in advance it will be loud, so I bring earplugs. Or stuff tissue in my ears, should I have forgotten to bring earplugs.
