its not wrong, it's more like it's not wise.
if you can resist the temptation of indulge in godless conversations, of lust, of the influence of worldly music, of abusing alcohol, of smoking pot or doing drugs, of driving under the influence, of gambling, of the dissapation that alcohol can cause, then you're good to go to a bar. that's if you're going to go to drink. there's no other reason to go to a bar unless you're going to drink. unless you go to witness to people in the bar. the only other thing there to do is maybe play pool and shoot darts. as for dating, i wouldn't advise mingling with anyone from a bar or a night club. in a night club, you have to question your motives regarding dancing. but dancing to worldly music in itself teachs others by example that the words of the music playing are okay to let loose to. i wouldn't date anyone in a night club. it's all sexual.

SO let me rephrase my question little bit/
Do you also think that is right to associate yourself with the people in those types of places?
I can go to a bar and have a drink or two with people that I have approved that wouldn't indulge in heavy drinking. But I wouldn't associate myself with others in there, because normally they give to heavy drinking, sexual immorality, drugs, abusive speech and what not.
But I definitely would not go into a Club
And I Limit myself to a Bar maybe once or twice in a year and I haven't gone to one yet this year.
I would rather be with people in my home and have a few there on some occasions
But I wonder Just because I like to think of myself as spiritually strong, I beg to differ, when, I read these scriptures to as if I should never go to these types of places.
(1 Corinthians 15:33) Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits.
(Luke 21:34, 35) “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35 as a snare. For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth.
I know Bad associations (people at the Bar or club) would over time cloud my judgement Because there is someone out there (Satan) who knows all of your weaknesses and he is very powerful. Overtime bad associations would conflict with my spiritual morals. Same goes with Solomon and his pagan wives.

I played as a professional musician for 7 years just before I got saved. My unwritten job description was to get people as drunk as possible (sell booze!) and if possible, keep fights from breaking out.
I needed to be able to play the current hits and golden oldies. If there was a dance floor, play lots of fast music so people got tired and thirsty and had to drink more!
Some people think bars and nightclubs are about having fun. They are NOT! They are about drunkenness (see Gal 5:21), sexual immorality, (people flirting and shacking up with people they are not married to!), and sadness and grief, as sad and lonely people seek to full the emptiness, with music, liquor and immorality.
The only good that came out of my 7 years of playing, was I learned all the verses of "Amazing Grace" by heart. It was a "show stopper" because people would get quiet and listen. I thought people liked my singing, as at times, people were moved to tears. Some even left! God used Balaam's donkey to convict people, including me!
So no, people should not go to bars, pubs or nightclubs. Their purpose and existence is to fill a hole that should be filled by God.

I play music at a fair amount of bars/pubs. Can definitely be a tough gig, but if I wasn't doing it, I would be at home in solitude. I don't drink heavily. I connect mostly with the other musicians there. I wouldn't call even one of them evil despite whatever life choices they make or made, because they are my friends ( the ones willing to be in my company and share the love of friendship/companionship). Being in a bar is irrelevant to me when that connection with a friend is made. Also, the darkness has not overcome the light. As long as you remember the Spirit of Christ within you, who can harm you?
My personal belief on the matter is that you should be ready to shine your light wherever the Lord has presented opportunity for you.

We call drinking establishments Pubs, short for Public House. These vary greatly depending on the area and customers and what sort of trade the pub is trying to attract. All pubs have a bar section typical of Cheers, but often come with lounge areas often with nice comfy sofas and chairs and the ones which serve food will have a dedicated area for dining.
I had a very nice pub lunch today, a full roast dinner which I enjoyed with a couple of pints of HSB ale. Some pubs can be rough in appearance with very unsavoury characters, which of course you should avoid, but there are plenty which are more family orientated.
Pubs are great to just relax and unwind,you do not have to drink alcohol either, plenty of soft drinks, the family pubs are great, used to take kids to pub at end of a day out, let them play on the slides and swing in the garden area and I would just sit and watch enjoying a pint of beer, kids loved having a coke with straw of course and packet of crisps thats potato chips for the Americans.

1 Thessalonians 5
4But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
