Beyond the women drink for free nights theres also bars that just wont let men in but will let women in.
Do women spend more? Or is it that they cause less drama? Or is it something else?

There are bars that don’t let people of a specific gender in?
Really?
Because:
1) more women and finite men will attract more people cause men have a better chance of getting a girl as compared with infinite men in a bar.
2) giving women a safe space to drink without getting hit on every second
I think the general answer is that women in bars attract men to those bars and the men then spend more. Therefore they offer no cover or free/low price drinks or other perqs to women.
Women only (for lesbians or safety), men only are more niche options.
Edit- If they are not letting men in… hmmmm. I don’t think that’s legal in the USA. It could be a lesbian bar that prefers ladies…but in general they are pretty accepting of everyone who is accepting.
Historically/traditionally, men/guys want to go to places where there are a lot of girls. They will stay longer, and drink more. And when they do, the guys will spend more on themselves, and on the girls.
Further- Guys don’t’ want to go to a bar that is a sausage fest.
Girls probably also don’t want to go to a bar that is a sausage fest.
Thus- Ladies night has been a hit in bars for the last 30 years or more.
>women drink for free nights
Stereotypically (haven’t seen stats or any survey) men visit bars more, and spend more time there than women. That’s ok, but if the bar becomes known as a “men’s only” venue, then it starts losing potential women patrons, couples, and any men looking to socialize with women. The women’s-drink-free is an attempt to attract women and couples, and make the bar a more popular venue overall.
>bars that just wont let men in but will let women in.
Let’s be honest here. Men can be pigs. And safety, let alone equal rights and respect, are neither legally nor culturally guaranteed to women in many places. Depending on where you are, and how chauvinistic, self-entitled, and improper the men there can be, there might be a decent business case for a place for women to drink and socialize in peace.
For the same reasons (making the bar a safe space, and marketing it as a cool place to socialize across gender), lots of bars have a “no stags” rule, at least on some nights. They’ll let ladies or couples or groups with similar numbers of men and women in, but won’t let single / unaccompanied men in. Basically they are enforcing a balanced gender ratio. This is a lot more common than not letting men in at all.
Depends on the bar.
Men usually drink more and spend more, but depending on the type of bar they will avoid going to bars with too many men.
If its a sports bar where you go to hang out with the guys and have a beer, then yea, they prefer more men.
But if its more of a social bar or night club, they tend to have cheaper prices for women and attempt to avoid “sausage fests” becuase if you´re going to try to find a date, sex or partner, you´re going to go to where theres more women.
Another issue if its a LGBTQI bar or a bar with a sexual theme like a swingers bar or a strip joint.
many women go to gay bars becuase they feel safer among gay men and also they want the stupid “gay BFF” stereotype and many gay bars which cater to men will activly deny them entry for those reasons.
Lesbian bars will deny access to men becuase you have the typical “she only needs a good cock to go straight” moron or the guys who usually think that many lesbian group of friends has a straight or bi member that will always be easy pickings.
But usually its because guys will go to where they know there are more women, if you go to a bar or a club and you see theres 5-6 guys per woman, you´re probobly not going back if your intention was to find a partner or sex.
Are there bars that are women only? I’ve never heard of this. I mean there’s at least one of everything, but that’s got to be pretty rare. Anyway, men go where the women are. You don’t need to attract men if you’ve got the women. More women = more men. If there are 2 bars that are equal in every way, but one offers cheaper drinks for the ladies, they will offset the lowered revenue from the ladies with the extra men that come to see said ladies. In marketing terms it’s called a “Loss Leader”. That is of course for mainstream bars, notwithstanding niche bars targetting different crowds like say, if there’s bars that only allow women. That would be a different thing. Just speaking generally.
Men go to bars to try and meat women. Bars that are “sausage fests” don’t attract customers who stick around, nor do they spend as much.
If we are speaking about the owners of bars, they prefer to have women (and particularly attractive women) as patrons because sex sells. Having attractive people (usually women) in the bar is believed to attract more customers, and improve the image of the bar generally. This is particularly the case in clubs where there are photographers. The bars want to present themselves as stylish, sexy places to be.
As many have said, unless its a sports bar, having lots of women increases the number of chances a guy has to get laid, and free drinks for women means the assumption the women will be more willing (because the gross ‘drunk equals yes’ expectation).
I (F45) was security in my 20’s and would monitor the line to turn away any group that I thought would be a problem later on- they were already too drunk to serve, they wanted in to ‘have a chat’ (i.e. start a fight) with a group they knew were already in the bar, they had problems with personal space (i.e. groping) and using racist language. These groups were not always men, but I can easily see how an observer would see only men getting turned away.
