Couples rule makes sense some what, but doesn't stop (drunk) idiots picking fights.

I think blokes get a really raw deal on the door here. And many of the bouncers are way too picky, if they don't like the look of you, then you've had it and it doesn't matter how loaded you are.

I was told the main aims of it were to keep out the wrong crowd (labourers etc) but under the cloud of reducing the potential for violence - drunks.

introduce memberships...charge entry fees..create loyalty...of course girls night , doesnt make sense to have too many salivating single guys getting the run of things...as that runs the danger of only "too eager guys" and not a girl in sight...and get a DOOR manager to screen the entries...bouncers sometimes are all brawn...and can forgo the possibilites of a good ratio of guys vs girls...

Never had a problem so far. Always go to pubs and bars with my partner, I guess. But going to a bar as a couple is not necessarily an assurance that you can get in. Unfortunately, I think if you are an Asian, it is more likely that you will get problems or difficulty getting in. Just to share some of the stories....
A Thai lady married to a Brit was denied entry to a hotel bar in Birkdale. It was only when the husband intervened that they were allowed to go in.
A group of Asian girls out for a ladies night (one of the hotels in finucane). Was told that the bar is full and asked to step aside. But when European ladies arrived later, they were allowed to go in.
Mixed group (ladies and gents; europeans & asians) on a night out in one of the bars. Was stopped at the reception and told them that their Indian companion is not allowed to go in. One of them explained that the Indian person he is referring to earns more money that they (europeans) do.. but still denied entry. The group decided to move to another bar.
Is it image they (establishments) are protecting or discrimination? .... you decide.
