    I find it ironic that in the USA you can enlist in their military and die for their country at 18, but you cannot have a beer until 21.

    Yeah well, the problem is nobody did.

    Now here's a fiver for a coke and some crisps, the rest of us will be in the grown-ups section.

    They can only refuse you with the over 21's rule (or any age rule) if a sign is clearly displayed stating that this is their policy. If no sign is displayed you can take a discrimination case under the Equal Status Act. This is the same act travellers regularly take against publicians and get a few grand for their trouble. Check out www.equality.ie for more info.

    Howl at the Moon is over 23s, so is the Odeon. Not sure which pub in Rathfarnham is over 23s, the Orchard maybe?

    Like people have said they can reserve the right etc, but I'd say the garda bit was bollocks.

    The Gardai were out in force on Friday and Saturday night this week. I have never seen a better garda presence in the capital. THere were suprising a lot of pubs by walking in and ID checking.

    So if the publicans can discriminate on age grounds and if I bought a pub/club could I ban anyone over the age of 25? to insure there were no desperate older women or grannysnatchers? Or does it only work like you can only ban people under a certain age?
    Actually they did refuse a man a while back on the grounds he was too old, somewheres in the country. He sued them for discrimination and won!

    Ah back in my day that would have been three and sixpence and still have a ha'penny farthing left over for the cinema, a trip to Dublin and emigration papers to the UK, as well as newspaper to thatch the cornflakes box with. And that were luxury!

    TBH I got back from NYC last week, and while I look over 21 (I'm 23) my friend gets ID'd in England (He's 21 now). No of us were asked for ID anywhere. I was always under the impression that america were hard asses. However point taken about getting shot in the face for your country at 18.

    My local has three bars in it. The small back bar is where all the older regulars drink.
    About two years ago someone stuck up a OVER 50's ONLY sign on the door as a joke....

    But the regulars inside not only loved it they laminated it:D

    It's now a respected house rule if (you know what i mean )
