This New Years Eve we decided to go to a country bar called Montana's in San Dimas. When we arrived, the doorman said "I dont know if I can let you in with that"

"With what?" I ask.

"We have a no shorts policy" he says.

Fabulous, were I wearing shorts. Instead I was in a kilt with a very nice sweater, a rather nice looking dress/casual ensemble. Definately better than the jeans and T-shirts that were accepted attire for the club (and women of course had no problems entering when wearing knee length or shorter skirts)

I asked to speak to the manager, who again stated they had a no shorts policy. Again I stated I wasnt in shorts, so what was the problem? He then relied on the "we have the right to refuse service to anyone" refrain, which of course they do. Still, there was no call to refuse me entrance other than their own personal ignorance.
The manager then refused to give me his name or the phone number of the club. Thats fine though, as the number is on their website www.montanasnightlife.com so I'll be calling and emailing with my complaints.

By way of contrast though, when we left and went to a different club for the evening (Cowboy Country in Lakewood) not only was I welcomed, there was already ANOTHER guy inside with a kilt on! Vast bit of difference, and about $100 in drinks and such that the first place missed out on, plus all chance of future visits.
