None of those places are meant as hangout locations, and all of them require paying. Malls were useful to kids because being there was free for essentially an unlimited amount of time. Sure, you'd buy a soda once in a while, but that's not enough to be allowed to spend 4 hours in a bar or restaurant.

A closer use case would be neighborhood centers, but in my area, those are mostly closed in the evenings or at least reserved for private use.
