Will's Pub in Orlando is such a place. At least it was. I haven't been to Orlando in years.

That's called a "lounge".
Loud-ge
Grogan's Castle Lounge on Dublin. No music, live or otherwise. Only drinks, conversation, and legendary toasties.
Just get everyone to bring headphones that work as headsets and start a group call. You can get a decent pair for like $10
Aren't these everywhere? Where I grew up they were called taverns, but this basically every bar that isn't some scam for young people. Find yourself a dive bar and enjoy.
Sign language bar?
Needs a fog machine and strobe lights
Why, I don't want to hear them complaining about the current state of the world, I'm already depressed because all of it, I just want to drink my beer in peace and overwhelming conversation-canceling noise, with my friends close to me, where just a glance at each other saying "I feel the same" is enough.
Totally get it. You wanna be where you can see your troubles are all the same. You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
And I want my friends to know:
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Weird, my friends and I may occasionally talk about the bad stuff, but there’s always something good going on. We can be excited for upcoming things too.
I like being able to have conversations at bars and restaurants. In my bachelor days when I was dating an amazing person she knew all the good bars and restaurants that you could actually have conversations in. We always knew going in to a social thing if it was gonna be a good conversation or just yelling and “what?”
Plus the ear damage from the loud shit is no joke. Tinnitus started for me by mid 30s and I never listen to loud music or do stupid stuff, beyond bars and parties.
I was joking, I can't handle the large chaotic crowds of bars (autistic). I just meet with friends at home or go when it's not busy.
I used to go to illegal techno parties, even organize them myself. Never protected my ears. Recent tests show my hearing is in perfect condition. Since I'm afraid of tennitus, I always wear ear protection now when there's loud noise. At parties, at the metal workplace I go to, when people are javkhammering on the street, etc. I'm very lucky, several DJ friends of mine were too late and have tennitus now too.

I've never been to a bar that plays music too loud. Did oop a club instead?
It’s not just about music. Like some bars and restaurants with modern interior have shitty acoustics, since they are open spaces with concrete walls and large windows. I went to a restaurant recently, wasn’t super crowded, music was played at low volume, still had a hard time hearing people. Since everyone in the room had to speak louder and louder to make themselves heard and overcome the reverb in the room.
I suspect this is to help people hook up since the less they get to know about each other the better.
We have this in the uk, it's called wetherspoons
That's a dive bar.
Don’t tell them. Half empty bars are the best.
All the dive bars in my area are filled with people smoking.
I think I aged out of it.
All bars in my area banned smoking even in outdoor patio areas. It sucks.
Like, withe the helicopter headphone system ?
what!!!?
you coukd design a room to help not have voices travel far or bounce around. maybe sound absorbing materials on the wall. have them play music with the volume down too
Like a combo library and bar
In Austin Texas there was (is?) a bar on 6th street called the Library that had books and those sliding ladders. In college my friend’s sister would go there all the time with their dad’s credit card and a fake ID. Their dad asked how in the world she could spend so much money at the library
I can't hear shit.
it's doable. make a bar that plays music but everyone has to listen to it with headphones. so if you wanna chat you just lower the volume. you'd pay extra for the headphones, but imo it's worth it. i'd love to be able to hear what people are saying and not have to scream at someone just so they can hear me
It's called a jazz bar and they're not that great.
Uh, not true on either count. A jazz bar is a bar with live jazz, which is fucking awesome. In the picture is a trendy shitty bar where they imagine making a place loud makes it seem more popular.

My personal idea of hell.
You're proud of hating a long-celebrated music genre? At worst that should be "not my kind of music". But no, it's "hell" somehow? I am a particularly opinionated person and I probably wouldn't call it "hell" to have to listen to the music I hate most.
You're proud of hating a long-celebrated music genre?
Yes.
it's "hell" somehow
Yes.
I am a particularly opinionated person
Yes.
You have shitty tastes and no one asked about them.
You're the one who came at me here. I have no desire to talk about how jazz sucks, it's just a shitty and unwelcome take. Which is precisely why you gave it.
