They are shutting down everywhere. It's a combination of factors. Less alcohol consumption dating apps mean less need to go. At the clubs the girls have higher expectations for paid bottle service.
Used to be here in Toronto I would go to a place like The Bovine, or Big Bop, or other smaller venues, and could meet girls just dressed casually, gage interest over 10 minutes then offer up a drink. But it was all reasonably priced so I didn't mind. The girls were also more open to casual dating and willing to give a few chances so long as the initial attraction was there. And I think social media has created a "pickyness" culture and rejection mind set.
Now between the cover charges, 20+ buck a drink, and the reports of how mean the girls can be now(there used to be an understanding that she could politely reject you and as long as you were cool no harm no foul. Now there appears to be much more meanness), the boys are saying fuck it.
