I think I'm unfairly banned from a bar. Could I take legal actions against it?

    Hi!
    I was banned form a popular place, pub, four years ago because I had a fight/argument another guy inside.
    We did not get to fight but the bouncers kicked me out of the pub.

    After the incident I waited a year to get in. I thought I would have no problem as the bouncers that involved moved away yet to my surprise there is one that was not present in the incident that I know from time before that don't like and he never let me in saying that He heard about my incident.

    After 4 years after the incident I recently tried again but this guy still don't let me in.

    I'd like to know if Is there something I legally can do to change what I find a very strange and unfair ban?

    I'm just looking for some advice
    Thanks

    They have the right to refuse admission (unless they are doing so for specific discriminatory reasons). Refusing you on the basis of your prior misbehaviour is not one of those reasons.

    Can't give legal advice but you should try writing a letter to the owner apologising for pass misdeeds and asking for bygones to be bygones. Promise nothing like what happened will happen again and say you've never had trouble in a bar since(if its true).

    p.s. has the other person involved been allowed back in?

    That reply is very confusing.

    Refusing him admission based on his prior misbehaviour is legitimate. He would need to show that they were refusing him admission based on his sexuality, gender, race, membership of the travelling community etc. in order for him to have any basis for (for example) objecting to the renewal of the licence or to pursue any other legal avenue.

    There are pubs all over the country that have a 'barred for life' policy to deal with troublemakers.
