I Used to Go to This Bar is the seventh studio album by American rock band Joyce Manor, released on January 30, 2026, by Epitaph Records. The album follows their 2022 release, 40 oz. to Fresno, which marked the band's return after a pandemic-induced hiatus. The album was produced by Bad Religion co-founder Brett Gurewitz. Musically, the album expands their punk foundation with jangly rockabilly influences and keyboard-driven textures. Lyrically, frontman Barry Johnson draws on reflections of suburban Los Angeles life, personal experiences with loss, substance abuse, and nostalgia.
The album’s lead single, "All My Friends Are So Depressed" became the band’s first radio hit, peaking at number 19 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart. Critical reception was largely positive, with reviewers praising the band's consistency and energy. Joyce Manor will support the album with a headlining North American tour and performances at Coachella.
