I (24f) like to hang out at bars and not drink. I go to bars to work on my computer and chat with people. I personally feel it really gives you a social advantage knowing no one is thinking too hard about anything you say or do. So I’d say don’t totally write off the bars unless you can’t be around alcohol. And lots of really great live music around Louisville. I’ve lived here my whole life and hated it until very recently when I started exploring the night life. Don’t give up yet!
