This past weekend I had the privilege to spend my Saturday night at some hipster bar in Philly. It was a good time overall, but it made me realize why I’ll take the local hole in the wall over a popular place any day. Here are 10 reasons why:
(in no particular order)
10. Overpriced Drinks - Nothing like paying $5+ for a miller lite.
9. The no hat rule - I personally look good in a hat (ok not really). If the hat is worn straight and is in good shape, I think it should be allowed.
8. Covers - I don’t mind paying a cover so long as there is a drink special or a shitty band playing. Paying a cover just to get in is lame.
7. Inability to get a drink - Nothing is worse than waiting FOREVER to get a drink. Especially when you watch people at the other end of the bar walk up and get served right away.
6. Douchebags - This is probably the worst one. Apparently, it’s cool now to wear a slightly unbuttoned dress shirt with your bare chest exposed. Couple that with some slick Italian looking hair and a popped collar and you have yourself a bonified douchebag. And somehow, they seem to always get the girls…
5. Dancing - I don’t mind people dancing. Personally, it’s not for me unless I am in the right company. They should really designate a place for people to get down so I can stand on the edge and creepily stare at the girl on girl dancing =)
4. No Room - Being sandwiched between two strangers blows, especially when it’s two dudes.
3. Line to get in - A lot of places make you wait in a line to get in. Once inside you find that the place isn’t that packed and they just do it to look “exclusive”. Retarded.
2. Loud Music - Most people go to bars to socialize, I assume. It’s pretty tough when you can’t hear the person 1 foot away from you.
1. VIP areas - I guess they make people feel cool. I don’t get it.
Then again, there is usually more vagina than the local joint.

Diddy, that doesn’t sounds like a hipster bar at all. I’ve never seen a hipster with an open shirt, sounds more like frat boy college bar.
9. The no hat rule - I personally look good in a hat (ok not really). If the hat is worn straight and is in good shape, I think it should be allowed.
i agree with this one the most. girls dig guys in hats. take away that and you might as well take away instantaneous lusting.
You forgot about Euro-Trash. They are all over that shit.
sounds like every bar I am unfortunate enough to be dragged into in dc…
yeah I hate those bars. it’s like being put into an elevator with 12 other people. except you’re not going anywhere, you’re already at your destination. it especially annoys me when you try to talk to someone who isn’t part of your “party” and they don’t give you the time of day. you’re in public, why leave the house if you’re just gonna talk amongst your friends the whole time.
If you’re talking about the bar I think you are I do not consider it in any way shape or form a hipster bar…it really was a stupid college bar…and I totally agree with all the points but #1 I enjoy vip bc no one is up in your shit…
