Yes its declining for various reasons IMO in Britain.
Smoking ban. Demographics - less young people. Also Muslims don't go clubbing, neither do many E Eur short term immigrants who aim to save money while working in Britain before going home.

Plus extended licensing means bars are often "semi clubs" now.

Also, unless you have good game, or have your circle in the club, clubs aren't usually overly great places to pull. Many people struggle to talk in really loud, crowded venues. Sweaty and rammed. A lot of clubs attract pigs, IMO. The more feminine women aren't into getting hammed and jostling with crowds. Or boning pissheads. So yeah, drinkers nightclubs ie crowded and sweaty are great to pull barhags. Personally I'd prefer to eat my own shit.

I massively prefer "high end" clubs or bars. Expensive beer, expensive entry, a level of "face control".
The women are WORTH pulling.

People have FINALLY worked out that often rammed clubs aren't a great place to pull. The web is potentially far better, as is social circle gaming etc. A few times I've seen friends fail to pull in a club, then pull in the street after because the club had been so idiotically loud and hostile to getting women relaxed and into pulling.

Some bits of Lat America are terrific for dancing and pulling. Its a shame the British club scene isn't something more like that.

Question is too general. It really depends on where you live.
Places like UK, some parts of Western Europe, clubs are declining due to the fact that people are now using online dating more, and more on social media in general. This in turn provides a distraction to people's lives. The other issue people often overlooked is the fact that people seem to have nowadays less time, the so called free time. People are often working a lot more due to the weak economy these years, and being addicted to social media takes away even more time, so then you have to have time for the hobbies etc, so alota people just stay at home and become boring, waiting for the next working day to come. This is pretty much the life of the average joe nowadays, with few weekend getaways and house parties invited by social circle here and there.

However if you are living in cities like Bangkok, no, club life is still great and you can have a great time.

The only night game venues I spend any time on these days in New England are dive bars/hipster bars in the city that attract a regular crowd of college/young professional girls on the weekends, or lounges that have live music.

Traditional dance floor clubs/bottle service clubs around here are much too loud, I'm too old to have the energy required for good dancefloor game, and they attract way too many packs of drunk, aggressive thug wannabees and "bro crews" for me to feel comfortable going into solo - it feels like it would be way too easy to get popped in the face for approaching the wrong girl, or jumped by a pack of white knights...none of these guys are on your team.

The ratios usually suck as well, compared to dive bars.

Average clubs are dead.
Gotta say it's defintely been a decline in Copenhagen and other places in Scandinavia I've been to just the last two years. Ratios are worse in average clubs and I guess it's got a lot to do with the dating apps.

Prefer paying a bit more to spend the night at the more high end places since they do make an effort to not let too many dudes in and most guys won't bother to go there anyway. Everything is better after all and definitely worth the money, in my opinion, rather having to deal with all the shit at trashy places.
