You are telling me that these junkies are never violent and there is never fights? As such crime. Or they(bars) don't get robbed or gather loud undesirable people?
Not the same as a casino or brothel. And if it's the kind of bar that does it would get as many complaints (as soon as they make noise after 10PM they'd start getting people calling the police on them). All the bars I know in my neighborhood don't get the kind of trouble you describe (at least not often enough that I ever noticed it).
But it may also be a cultural difference between Germany/Austria and US/UK - bars/pubs are just not that troublesome here.
