For singles bars, it’s so people can get close and talk in each other’s ears and have a private conversation.

My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

That’s good, but it’s just so people dont linger too long and will leave after they’ve spent money. If bars and restaurants were comfortable people would hang out at them for hours and that’s bad for profits.

In my dreams I’d be running an unprofitable bar out of my other living room. (I don’t have another living room)

It’s interesting that the first pubs were just that – people’s homes where a certain room was open to guests.

Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?

Good question. I don’t really know!
