Might be relevant, but I find that American restaurants are generally louder compared to European ones.
Side note: And why is ithe music always fucking neo-country? Sure, I've mostly been to Texas, but I have several albums in my CD collection as a testament to y'all making good music too.
It isn't. My favorite restaurant--Kuma's Korner, on Belmont in Chicago--is always playing metal.
Goddamn I miss that place... :(
I need to check it out. Turns out they have one in the suburbs just under 4 miles from me.
I'd been to the Lincoln Park location--I think that it's closed now--and it had a very different vibe. I haven't been to the suburban locations. To me, the original location, with it's tiny eating section and dive-bar vibe, is still the best. Almost like if Exit served good food, y'know? (AFAIK, Exit doesn't serve food at all.)
I just moved back to the Chicago land area after being away for 20 years. These places sound like my exact vibe and the sort of places I've been searching for.
Do you have any other recommendations?
My experience in American restaurants is that the music is usually whatever is currently popular, so there's a lot of hip hop and pop songs about dancing and fucking.
Last time I was out to eat with friends, the restaurant was playing an easy listening version of Welcome to the Jungle. That was a lot to process.
The US and it's people are often super loud. I say this as one who traveled and now lives in Japan. I didn't notice right away and had to work hard to lower my normal volume
