- It makes you feel like you’re in a Ke$ha video.
- You don’t have to wait for a midnight text to make your appearance.
- Like Simba, everything the (strobe) light touches is yours.
- All the bouncers and bartenders know you intimately, which makes you feel like a local celebrity.
- It has the best raised surfaces.
- The photo booth has seen more action than a Kim Kardashian home movie, but it will never tell a soul.
- There’s no such thing as bad timing, whether it’s happy hour or last call.
- If you’re experiencing feelings (the worst communicable disease of all), there’s always a boy–or a bartender–to buy you condolence shots.
- The entire place is a fire hazard, but that just makes it more exciting because you love living dangerously.
- It’s like a live action version of Tinder, without all the shirtless mirror selfies.
- Even when you stray, it’s faithful.
- Calories don’t count when you can’t remember them, whether it’s Crown Russe or cheese fries.
- You’re sure to see your sisters, even if it’s in compromising positions.
- You might not know what it looks like in daylight, or while sober, but you do know it’s better that way.
- “Wagon Wheel” is guaranteed to play at least twice.
- The drink specials are so cheap that your dad won’t notice them on his credit card bill.
- There’s always a gentleman caller available for a dance–or better yet, a DFMO.
- There’s no judgment, because everyone there has seen far worse.
- Your bar will never say, “Go home you’re drunk,” unless you’re attempting a puke and rally, in which case, it’s time.
- It provides the perfect location to duck face and booty pop without shame.
- It’s fine with the fact that you semi-regularly participate in hookups that may or may not be legal in a public place.
- You can plan your outfits weeks in advance, because it will never cancel on you.
- It keeps your secrets. If those walls (or booths, or bathroom stalls) could talk…
- Your lineage automatically approves, even when certain members shouldn’t technically be allowed inside.
- It’s always there for you, even when your favorite boy isn’t.
- It has the magical ability to make all of your bad decisions seem so good at the time.
- It might steal your phone, wallet, heels, and ID, but you’ll always have your dignity. And if you don’t, you can pick it up the bar, right where you left it.
