I was refused entrance to a bar in town now its had a designer makeover

[lemonice]

I went out on Saturday night for a meal with dp and some of his family to meet a couple of his cousins on holiday from Northern Ireland (nine or ten of us. After the meal we went round the corner to a new designer bar nearly everyone of the group walked in, I tried to and the bouncer tapped me on the shoulder and said "You're not going in"sad{} Am I right to feel a bit fed up?

Why??

Well presumably I was too old, ie wasn't wearing trainers and it was only 9.15 so wasn't drunk and was wearing black trousers and beaded embroidered v neck t shirt (but I did have a coat on)

I would feel VERY fed up on that count!! Did you confront the doorman??

So did everyone traipse out again? Ot were you left out in the cold on your own?

thats a bit slack

Dp went in and they all came out with me. I felt really embarrassed as I was the oldest and hadn't met the cousin and his wife before. When it was a pub I was allowed in, watched some of the world cup in there but it now has new management and new chairs

what was the dress code? you had black trousers and a black top on, why couldnt you go in?

There were three very large doormen and I didn't say anything - actually I was stunned into humiliated silence. I've heard of this happening to other people in different bars in town once they have makeovers but i thought it was a myth!

No trainers apparently but dp had an oakley snowboarding jacket on which looks abit like a parka so would have thought that would have been bad (but he was let in). Both the other women were wearing trousers. This means i can't go out with my own family??!!

do you think they may have thought you were underage?

or a drug dealer?

More likely because i wasn't a drug dealer!
