Kilted New Years - DENIED!

Seems to me that if the bar has that much trouble keeping it's patrons under control then they should have more security on staff.

There are many clubs in the DC area that seem to constantly have fights breaking out inside, many leading to fatalities. The response by the City has been quite proper. They need to either increase security, stop serving alcohol, or close down.

The fact that you allow violent, law-breaking miscreants into a bar is not excuse for denying entrance to a law-abiding and honorable kilt-wearer.

Imagine the uproar if the doorman had refused entrance to someone wearing a minority ethnic outfit because they wanted to avoid a fight inside!

Um....think this sad incident happened in the United States of America....a free country (well, sorta...) with no known clothing regulations, laws, that I know of.

I disagree with the posts about denying admission to prevent a fight.

Any such establishment that found one type of patron hassling another type of patron would eject, evict, 86, the aggressive intolerant patron NOT the one victimized by drunken pea brained intolerant customers.

Booze dealers have such silly problems to deal with.

Not offending a cluster of drunks is just not justification for denying patronage to a potential customer because he's kilted....at least not in the U.S. of A.

Particularly at an IMITATION country western bar.

Who 30+ years ago used to drink at a REAL cowboy bar in Dulzura, CA...that's probably long gone in a tidal wave of red tile roofed suburban little boxes of ticky tacky by now...

I have to agree with the few guys that say it might have been a good thing. I guarantee..that if some drunk twit looked under my kilt to "see if it were true" i would pop him in the head. While I personally have never been shown that kind of bias, The bartenders, bouncers and managers know who is inside and can spot trouble a mile a way, even if your not the one to start it. But now you know where the trouble makers hang out, and where they dont. Glad you had a happy new year eventually.
