My girlfriend and her friends still like to go clubbing and play beer pong, and they're all about 30. I'm 31 and haven't played beer pong in probably 6 years, and clubbing seemed to start losing its appeal by the end of undergrad for me. Maybe I'm an outlier?
No, you are normal at least for a guy. Some girls may actually go to go to the club just to dance, but guys only go clubbing to meet women, so clubbing has no appeal to a 31-year-old with a girlfriend.
Where do you people live that have "clubs." I live in Tucson and have never been clubbing, thank god.
When the girls start calling you "sir."

You've never even been to Club Congress? It's actually a cool place and generally filled with total non-douchebags.
If you want to go to a "club" club though all you have to do is venture a little farther down Congress. Tucson has it all my friend. Zen Rock, for example, is your traditional trashy douchebag bro shiny dance club. It's pretty sketch, but definitely interesting from an anthropological perspective.
Lisa E was 20ish when she told me she felt clubbing was the ultimate "Peter Pan Lifestyle". I think she was right. I agreed the idea of 'going clubbing' is as perfect world for escape from the tick-tocking crocodile we call growing up now as it was then.
My girlfriend and her friends still like to go clubbing . . . and they're all about 30.
Girls playing dress-up is something that never grows old it seems. Although how they dress and where they go changes as they age or as the era changes it's sill a bunch of BFF girls putting on their going out costumes.
Lisa E's world was NYC discotheque Danceteria, Palladium, The Limelight and she was reigning Queen Of The Night . Your girlfriend has a NeverNever Land that contains Beer Pong.
Trust me when she's all serene in her bespoke gown and you are all uncomfortable in your custom tux when you go to your season box at the opera you'll look at the 60 year old woman on your arm and see, as clear as day, the 20 something year old girl playing dress-up that you fell in love with.
Girls will be girls and boys will be boys. This is fact. As long as at the end of the night they still fit together... all is right in the universe.

Yeah but Obama says girls will be boys and boys will be girls and at the end of the night they should all pee together in public places. . .then all will be right in the universe
Who should you believe THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES or some random old guy with an stupid screenname posting on a running message board?
50 Cent was 28 when he released "In Da Club" so I doubt a mere 3 years makes that big a diff
There's roughly 10 years between too young and too old. You don't want to be the guy everyone refers to as the old guy.
I stopped "clubbing" when I started watching the news in the morning, while I drink coffee, and feeding my dog.
Most runners look 10 years younger than they actually are starting at 30, so if you're 40 you could probably still go & people will think you're a 30 year-old.

Iggy Pop was 29 when he released "Nightclubbing".
When you start wondering if you're too old to go clubbing.
If you like going to clubs, then you should go and have fun. If you don't, then don't. You shouldn't let age hold you back from doing something you like.
It's not about age. (Of course it might be a little sad if you're a lot of older than the rest of the crowd.) It's about what you're looking for. Usually smart people realize before they're 30 that going to a "club" and shouting "WHAT!" for the whole evening isn't really that fun. Maybe if you're looking for ONS, but there are apps for that nowadays.

Yes! That's exactly why I still enjoy going. Even though I'm 29 I fit right in with the 20 year olds as I look about that age.

This is a good answer. I also think it depends on where you are. If you are in vegas or Miami then the average age will probably be older. Young kids generally can't afford $650/bottle service.
I think there are different types of clubs and what is acceptable. If its an upscale club before 11PM its fine for older (30+), but if its a college club then no one over 28 should be there ever.
Country bars are also different, all ages are welcome, all the time at country bars.

So true, Thirty or 40 years ago "clubbing" had a tighter definition- Going to discotheque. Trust me nothing as tame as Beer Ponging went on in those clubs.
To clarify my post
Lisa E. was Lisa Edelstein a bright young girl who understood the power of publicity . She may now be best known as the actor who played Dr. Cuddy on the TV show House.
