Are we too old for nightclubs?

Meeting up with uni friends soon in Birmingham. None of us know the city very well but it works out as a good central location to meet.

We're almost 40 but want to go to a night club- are there any in central Birmingham that won't make us feel ancient? I haven't set foot in a night club in over 10 years so I'm certain I'll stick out like a sore thumb!

Also what does one even wear to a club in 2024?!

AIBU to think there must be somewhere in Birmingham that suits us- more into rock/retro type songs than newer stuff, although maybe the sort of music we danced to back at uni is what is considered retro nowadays...

Anyone over 25 is too old I think you'll find, if they even still exist.

Go! Whenever I’m in the club, I always see people having fun that are in their early 40s. My mum is 46 and still goes to the club with her friends sometimes😂

No, you're not too old.

I remember Chicagos as a student back in the late 90s, there'd always be some 50 ish women on the dance floor trying to dance with the lads 😂 Loved them.

Christ, I feel like I was too old for nightclubs at 18! Only reason I ever ventured into one was to meet girls, don't think I've set foot in one since I met DP at age 24!

But no, if you feel like going to a club, then you're not too old to go to a club. I'd recommend comfy shoes though, I spent far too much time dancing at a wedding a few months back and my feet and knees were fucked for a good week afterwards!
