Start a new tradition! Express your delight over sticking with traditions, but suggest to your friends that maybe it’s high time to incorporate a few new restaurants into your traditional dining places. Mention a new restaurant that has opened in town, tell about a dining suggestion a coworker may have made, or simply ask to try out a different restaurant that you have not previously tried out but are curious about. You could also propose a personal favorite and tell your friends what you like best about this particular place, such as the service, the location, the awesome food served there, etc. Tell why it would be beneficial for the group to eat there or what they could learn about if they dined there. You could also ask if anybody was getting tired of always going to the same place time after time and was ready for a change. Chances are somebody else from your group has similar feelings but like you has not yet voiced any new suggestions. Maybe each of your friends could jot down a few suggestions on new restaurants to try out and you could start a new tradition of trying a different dining place each time you go out. Overall, if they are truly your friends they will consider a change in plans to include your personal preferences.

Get new friends!!!

Seriously, if you don't like the restaurants/bars, what is the point of being unhappy?

I understand that being with your friends is a big incentive to go, but why doesn't each person take a turn in choosing the location? Why shouldn't you have your say about where to go every so many times?

Just sternly make that suggestion, and if they don't go along with that idea, that aren't truly your friends.

Try and explain to them that you don't like their choices and suggest a place you do like, and I like Jackiewriters suggestion of taking turns in choosing a place.
