I mentioned this on another thread, but there's a theory making the rounds that loud music encourages patrons to drink more. And seeing that a restaurants profits are more dependent on booze sales than food and that a lot of these joints seem to be selling a drinking experience as much as a dining one, well I guess it was inevitable. Not exactly new though. I remember La Hacienda being that way 25 years ago though they were more the exception.
