We go out to party and to Tampa nightlife to escape from the rules that hinder us from enjoying ourselves throughout the day. We want to let loose and we want to party hard with our friends. The rules that we will be discussing here are quiet well known, but it is still important to put an emphasis on how important these rules are, so we can enjoy a fantastic night with our friends.

Be patient on the line

Look, you will fall in line. If you want to enter an ultra-exclusive bar or club, there’s a good chance there will be a line on the door by 10PM or 11PM. It’s not always because the bar is full. This is a business tactic for most bar owners. They want their customers to think that they are always jampacked and that it’s hard to enter their exclusive property.

Unless you know the owner or the door man, you will probably have to fall in line. That should be okay with you and remember never to be pissed at the door man. He’s just doing his job. Don’t save a space for a friend who’s running late, too. That will piss off a lot of people lining up to get into the bar.

Dress accordingly

Women should wear a cocktail dress with comfortable heels and men should not wear sneakers. We’re not one to discriminate but there are dress codes in bars and clubs. Surely, you don’t want to be turned away just because you’re in jeans or short shorts? But for women, remember never to wear heels that you could not walk on.

There’s nothing more absurd than having to walk barefoot by the end of the night because your feet are too tired. For men, don’t wear those annoying perfumes. Remember that bars are enclosed spaces and you don’t want to suffocate half the people there because of that too-strong perfume you’ve sprayed all over your body.

Respect genders

If you’re a man and want to talk to a woman, ask politely if you can chat with her. If you’re a girl and a guy catches your eye, do the same. Don’t feel that just because you’re in a bar and everyone’s chatting everybody up that you’re entitled to just slide beside a person and converse with him/her. At the same time, if someone of the third gender is present, be very respectful of your manners.
