    you have ever been given for being refused entry to a pub/nightclub


    ... you're too drunk
    ... i threw you out last week (in a pub in galway, which was my first time :eek: )
    ... you're stoned
    ... you're not getting in here dressed like that
    ... we're shutting early
    ... we're full (and yet people walked in :rolleyes: )

    you and your friend were causing trouble last week.



    1 we were not there last week

    2 We had never been trown out of there

    3 My friend got there after and was let in

    That was a good few years ago but still sticks in my head

    "Its gay night tonight fellas" implying we didn't look 'gay enough'
    we were only after some late pints anyway

    1. "Sorry not tonight, no culchies, yez keep bringing in muck on your wellies and
    hitting the women" he though I was a cutchie because I had sunburn on my face and he though I had rosy red country folk cheeks. But that was cleared up quickish when I explained what it was.

    Told him it was just the effort of carrying such a heavy wallet, and that you were hoping to lighten it and quench your thirst in one go?

    Sorry, that was rather cynical, wasn't it? But I strongly suspect bouncers are instructed to only allow excessively wealthy people in sometimes...

    ditto to that one. To which I enquired "well, if you won't let us in.. how the **** are we supposed to become regulars and get in?"

    With a quite perplexed look on his face he turned and said "regulars only". Obviously a member of mensa.

    the monkey on boomerangs a few years back........

    looked at my passport, at the date of issue, "hey your only..........." penny dropped before he said it, didn't get refused, but was v funny.

    Bouncer on the door of fireworks about 2 months ago:

    "where are ya from?"

    my mate:

    "walkinstown"

    Him:

    "no your not getting in"


    he should have said blackrock!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    On my 18th went to a stripclub, bouncer looked at my passport n goes "Happy birthday mate, you're in for a HELL of a night :D "


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    "no dogs allowed"

    ...i still feel sorry for that poor girl...


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    Here's a story from that esteemed establishment known as the palace (when it was still the full club n everything):

    On our graduation night, me and my mate made it past the bouncer on the door, however, some other bouncer or manager or someone was manning the ticket desk, and he basically physically hustled us out of the lobby saying "No more graduations"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    "I told you no 20 minutes ago".

    Granted I was completely whacked, but bleh! :)

    "give us your number we'll call you when we need to get the place haunted"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,230 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    One night few years ago a friend of mine was asked for I.D. He produced his passport. The bouncer had a very confused look on his face. He says to my mate, " That's some face lift ya got there luv". My friend had handed over his Mum's passport that he took my mistake. We were all rolling around - the bouncers thought it was so funny they let him in.

    One night...

    "No way Ger, not a ****ing hope, go home ger.....seriously like, I'll call you a taxi...no Ger, you are not going to hit me...yes Ger...you're hammered...who do you want me to call?...Kevin?...gimme the number...infact gimme the phone...you ****ing plonker!...drinking since 10 this morning?...here's Kevin...now **** off!"

    I got a lot of stick for that night...the bouncers kept going over the conversation wondering how the **** Peter understood anyword that came out of my mouth...

    I find people in general just see me as a big hairy lout and don't actually make an effort to remember what I look like- other than being a big hairy ****er.

    For the longest time this bastard kept going into places and getting ****ed out. "We had trouble with you before", but I was never in there in my ****ing life!

    It was never-ending. Some other big hairy lout- who probably looked nothing like me, was giving me a bad name. And not just in pubs and clubs but in parties and in all these social situations. BASTARD! I called him my "evil twin" and whilst I have never met the guy, I knew I had to do something- so I decided to play him @ his own game.

    So I started going out getting absolutly locked on whiskey, being loud, arrogant (the sort of arrogance one gets when they're skullin' pints of cider and dribbling whiskey) and abusive. Let's see him get in someplace now! Bwahahahah!

    I know this thread had kind of been abandoned but had a very funny incident in Trinity Rooms in Limerick that I just had to share! All of my friends had gone in ahead except for me, a little worse for wear, female, and my male friend, who was completely sober as usual. I got in fine. My friend was stopped and told he was too drunk to get in. Being full of Dutch courage, I argued his case. Eventually the bouncer said that if my friend went and got a cup of coffee and brought him the receipt, he could go in.

    I assume he was being sarcastic. But I didn't really register that at the time!! Cue frantic run up to Burger King for a coffee (and a drunken burger), made the friend sip some so that his breath would smell like coffee (like they were going to breathalyse him!!) and triumphantly produced the receipt to the bouncer.

    He let us in.

    Probably to shut me up!:o

    Sorry, We're Closed :cool: when they're clearly still open :mad:

    (A certain Establishment on Wexford St. is notorious for this, despite the fact that you can look right in the big f*ck off window at the front, and see the bar staff, still pulling pints away like there's no tomorrow)
