Millennials, that generation with the biggest spending power today, are staying at home and leaving out clubs in the cold. They are no longer interested to have an exciting Tampa nightlife. Instead, they want to chill at home, watch Netflix with their friends or partners, have a couple of beers, and throw around popcorn at each other. They are more influential and powerful as a generation, but they don’t want to spend money on bars and clubs as much as the generation preceding them like.
But unknown to millennials, they are actually missing out on a lot of fun stuff such as meeting new people and dancing to the beat as if no one cares and is watching. While binging on Netflix and pizza and beer sounds really cool, there is nothing more fun than going out and having the time of our lives dancing our hearts out.
Meeting new people
Sure, hanging out with your friends in your apartment is super cool but if you continue to be with the same old people and group, you are never going to expand your world and meet someone who can potentially be more than a friend to you.
We’re not saying that bars and clubs are like speed dating where you have the potential of meeting “the one” every night but that is a possibility when you meet new people and form connections with them. Isn’t it fun to have new friends and gain different perspectives? We cannot always be with the same group of people because it will hinder our growth.
Learning about new musical acts
The best thing about going to bars, clubs, and pubs is the music. The bar owners always know someone in the local community who can play the piano, the banjo, the guitar, or the drums really well. There is always that opportunity to learn about a new musical act that you can listen to even if you’re not in the bar or club.
Getting involved in a culture
The Tampa nightlife has a whole culture different from what you see during daytime. When night falls, the people are friendlier and they are more fun to hang out with. It’s an entirely new and different world than the one you are used to.
It’s nice to know that there is a whole new tradition being made during the wee hours of the morning; something totally different from the one you have formed with your friends while watching a movie and throwing pizza crusts at each other.
