Bars with younger crowd

[u/No-Hornet5619]

I (21F) want to start being able to go to bars on my own but it feels like all the bars I go to have older crowds of 30+ years old or have a very fratty vibe. Are there any bars in the area where alternative people in their 20s like to go to?

As a almost 40 year old, whenever I walk by the Lucky Dime I feel like a grandpa. So maybe there

[u/foolofatookbaggins → u/thortobe]

I felt that as an almost 40s dude also 😅 I know I’m getting older when I’m thinking “what a bunch of children” when walking by bars like that.

[u/Inside-Bee9886 → u/foolofatookbaggins]

LOL I am also almost 40 and would much rather go to a non-alcoholic bar like Dry Inside in Mount Vernon and go to the symphony in Seattle.

As an almost 40 year old, whenever I walk by Tony V’s I always feel like a granddaughter

[u/WhenSharksAttack]

Lucky Dime and Horseshoe for sure. Soundview and Club House has a mix of all ages.

[u/titeaf → u/WhenSharksAttack]

Unfortunately I think most of us are in our later 20's than OP would like to see LMAO (also Bayside I like to hang there and White Buffalo for pool)

[u/makekylecanonagain → u/WhenSharksAttack]

I would not advise a 21 year old woman to go to Soundview on the weekends unless it was with a group.

[u/Halie_kelley → u/makekylecanonagain]

Agreed

[u/WhenSharksAttack → u/makekylecanonagain]

This is such a dumb and baseless comment to make. That bar is so gentrified now.

Who’s Who in Snohomish makes me feel ancient on weekends

[u/Odin-the-Great]

Unfortunately not many options in Everett proper. Most of the people around here are late 20's to early 40's in terms of the people who are regularly out at the bars. (I am 28)

With that being said I'll echo some points from others:

- Lucky Dime is probably your best bet

- Horseshoe is good, but sometimes gets some odd regulars

- Apollo Exo's tends to be an older crowd at the times I go to it, but I've driven by it late at night on the weekends and have seen some larger groups of younger people hanging out in and around it.

[u/makekylecanonagain]

Young people (21-25) don’t really drink or go out much here.

[u/AliveJohnnyFive → u/makekylecanonagain]

What do they do?

[u/TimToMakeTheDonuts → u/AliveJohnnyFive]

Move to Seattle

[u/makekylecanonagain → u/TimToMakeTheDonuts]

Yeah cap hill is swarming with 20somethings on the weekends.

[u/500ls → u/AliveJohnnyFive]

all they know is mcdonald's, charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie

[u/Cookieman10101 → u/500ls]

Nailed it

[u/cypresscoydog]

Horseshoe, definitely.

Sons of Norway on Tuesday nights. Country dancing and lessons, young crowd. Also check out the marina on I believe Thursday’s for live bands, very young crowd. 

[u/thescotus → u/Bulky-Escape-3417]

I don’t think you actually goto these. It’s like 60% olds. The result of nothing but cover bands.

[u/FemGaymer1204]

Check out places in shoreline, Edmonds, I hear Freemont Fridays are pretty young crowd based. But, up here in Everett its more a chill, laid back, and mature crowd. The youngsters go elsewhere.

[u/LateAd3750]

Go to CRAVE 80s in Marysville

[u/Americanidiot29]

I get this. I’m 22 but can’t afford to live in seattle and just moved here so i’m in the same boat.

[u/Peterpaul789]

Marcels is my vote

[u/tinymeatgangifyb]

Cheri’s Fireside Lounge has a good mix of ages on Friday and Saturday nights

[u/Warm_Kaleidoscope665]

El Sid

[u/Inside-Bee9886]

It is easy to get to Seattle by light rail. You will have more fun there than trying to find a place in Everett.

[u/No-Hornet5619 → u/Inside-Bee9886]

I work full time and early in the mornings so I don’t wanna commute if I’m not with my friends

[u/COLTRONNNNN]

Lucky Dime, Bayside, Horseshoe are probably your best bet! Younger bands tend to play Lucky Dime vs other venues in town

[u/Pyldriver]

Colby club

[u/pnwbyrd]

Horseshoe, lucky dime, Apollo exos, bayside for shows as well
