regulars only tonight

That happened to me before but the funny thing was it was about a week after the pub was opened.

They'd closed for rennovations for about 6 months, (we were regulars before they closed), when they reopened we went to go in and they refused us because it was regulars only.

chopperbyrne · 17-06-2008 01:38PM

I was told I was too drunk once when I'd only come just from work!

MysticalSoul · 17-06-2008 01:39PM

1. Blondes only tonight girls - we went back 20 mins later and got in no probs :rolleyes:

2. Him: How old are you?

Me: 30

Him: Do you have ID

*passes across passport, which I only had it as needed it for the bank earlier that day*

Him: Oh, you are.

Why on earth would I say I was 30, when the age limit there was 21 I have no idea

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

Urban Legend?

I thought you were going to say he said go get a coffee and back you come with a cup of coffee for him.

BeansMeansHynes · 17-06-2008 01:47PM

Your too drunk, go off for a walk, get a coffee and come back.

Dont really remember what happened but apparently I was too drunk to stand never mind go for a walk.

LadyE · 17-06-2008 01:47PM

Got refused from the George - I dont know why, (I was with obv gay friends) apparently they "dont want any trouble tongiht"

As if I look like Im gonna start trouble. We tried to get into nearly every pub intown, couldnt get frickin in anywhere then, because my brother didnt have ID. Ended up in some bar on O'Connell street, then to Eddie Rockets. Worse night ever.

Another night trying to get into the George - there were 3 of us, all slightly drunk.

Bouncer: Where did ya come from?

Female Friend: Dun Laogahaire

Me: Not Capitol..we came from Capitol

Male friend and I: PMSL

Bouncer: Goodnight girls.

Male friend:

The where did ya come from question basically means: Not tongiht.

Same for me, in Spy/Wax there a while ago.

Or what about the "Regulars Only". And then a few Spanish girls walk in past you.

Do they fly over every week to go dancing?

Ross_Mahon · 17-06-2008 02:00PM

"Sorry mate its 21s tonight"

A mate got turned away and the bouncer told him

"Sorry man, go get a coffee, not tonight"

He came back with a coffee for the bouncer and himself...gets in?

Suzywuzy · 17-06-2008 02:03PM

Went to a pub with my boyfriend which he goes to with his Dad and his Dad's friends every Friday. Got to the door and the bouncer said "Regulars only tonight" ... my boyfriend said "we are regulars, we come here every Friday !" ... to which the bouncer replied "Over 30's only !" ... whatever !!! He eventually let us in when he saw us standing on the phone a few yards away and waiting for a taxi !!!

That would have been even better!!! No sadly not an urban legend, just a typical Friday night in Limerick!!!

Maybe this won't apply to many here, maybe it will, but you know what else grinds my gears about clubs and pubs, especially in Dublin and Cork?

Sorry luv, its 21 and over (I'm 20 and every friend I have is 21+)

Why?

Why is it 21s?

Or in some place in Cork a few weeks ago, 23s?

And Coppers (I'm ashamed to say I do frequent the place despite my best intentions) has only in the past few months increased its age from 20s to 21s - just after my 20th birthday.

Is this a mass conspiracy?? Or at the very least, is this annoying anyone else?? I mean, fair enough they don't want kids, but come on!! I'm a college graduate for gods sake!!:mad::rolleyes:

I'm 19, so that means i will have to get a fake ID to say I'm 21 to get into places....:( Is break for the border 21s? Because i asked a few people and they were saying "Yeah it is" or "The bouncer was only saying that"

Kimbot · 17-06-2008 02:11PM

For my christmas party in work last year we all went for a meal and then to a club afterwards.

The bouncer told me I was too drunk to get in, I had nothing to drink at this point.

I tried explaining to him that the reason I was staggering was I was playing a match earlier in the night and damaged my foot real bad, he was having none of it until the bouncer next to him said he was playing in the other team and saw me getting hurt.

Run_to_da_hills · 17-06-2008 02:19PM

I was up in Belfast in the mid 80ies at the height of the troubles, It was just after 11AM and a pub called the Roost was just opening for lunch time meals. Myself and a mate just wanted a sit down and a coffee, the bouncer at the door heard our free state accents and refused us entry and said, "sorry lads, you can't come in were full".

Miguel_Sanchez · 17-06-2008 02:20PM

Myself and my friend got turned away from the South William a while back because they were 'full' apparently. We were trying to meet people inside so we just gave them a call and said we couldn't get in and were standing around trying to figure out where to go. The same bouncer after a minute wanders over to us and asks were we waiting to get in, apologises, says he didn't realise and lets us in. Odd.

Saint_Mel · 17-06-2008 02:20PM

I remember once going in to a "cultchie friendly" venue in Dublin

... I was absolutely hammered and my mate was holding me up and pretty much carrying me up the road. As we approached the door, my mate tripped on the step leaving me to sail straight in the door while the bouncers stopped him thinking he had stumbled from being too drunk

They called me back and told me to bring him for a walk and make sure he got a cup of coffee and then they'd let him in. We did ... and they did!

Well before that, an old venue in Rathmines refused a mate and myself entry one night saying I had caused a fight in there the previous weekend and we were well known trouble makers most weekends there. Thing is, I had just moved to Dublin that week and was my first weekend out there ... and my friend had just come over from England for a weekend visit!

Got the "regulars only" before on the opening night of a Nite Club.

chickenhawk · 17-06-2008 02:29PM

Went up to the door of the q-bar a couple of months ago. No drink on us.
I'm around 5.11-6ft and 80kg. Nothing too intimidating about me.
I was in front.

Bouncer: Could you turn to face the camera.

So I did.

Bouncer: No, you are not allowed in here.

Me: why not?

Bouncer: Listen we don't want any trouble.

Two other bouncers appear at his side.

Bouncer: Walk away!

I just walk away wondering what that was all about.

Dragan · 17-06-2008 02:29PM

My funniest ever was showing up at a club in Limerick. I was walking in the door when one of the lads put his hand out and stopped me. "Not tonight mate." , i asked him why and he told me i was clearly drunk. I replied with, "I hope not, i'm working here tonight".

That was my first night as a doorman in that place.

There is a slight chance to you unfortunately resemble somebody who has recently caused a lot of trouble in the place. Asking you to face the camera is a way to have on record who showed up.

It is regretable but it happens.

Einstein · 17-06-2008 03:10PM

him: Sorry bud, don't know you, never seen ye here.

me: makes perfect sense as i've never been here before

his mate just ripped the piss outta him and let us in.

chuci · 17-06-2008 03:24PM

sorry not tonight girls!

umm why?

your shoes arent up to standard!

WTF???????

FunkZ · 17-06-2008 03:26PM

A bouncer that actually knows me wouldn't let me in, I didn't have proper ID.

But I did have my college ID, school ID, and work ID. And I was at the nightclub eight times in the past four weeks.

Arsehole...

Riddle101 · 17-06-2008 03:40PM

I'm pretty sure i almost got refused to Q-Bar
Bouncer: How Much drink you have(Weird Accent)?

Me: Eh i dunno 4(I thought he meant how much drink will i have in the club, didn't realise he meant how much drink have you already had)

Bouncer: WHAT!?

Me: What?

Bouncer: How much drink have you had tonight?

Me: Oh sorry i haven't had any tonight

Bouncer: (Takes my I.D) Come with me

Followed him to the door where the smokers go out

Bouncer: Is this your first night here?

Me: Yeah

Bouncer: You haven't had any drink on you seriously?

Me: No

Bouncer: I'm giving you one chance

Me: Thanks

I also got refused from a club called Swifts near the Curragh because my College I.D wasn't good for them, i mean it had my age and all on it but no i didn't get in. Thnat same night a guy who was 24 was refused entry because he didn't have I.D, but they let his identical Twin Brother in because he had his

marti101 · 17-06-2008 03:48PM

Regulars only [theres different bouncers on every week]I think the power goes to their head,thats why if they say to me you cant come in i say fine and i walk away.I wouldnt give them the satisfaction of knowing it bothers me.

javaboy · 17-06-2008 03:57PM

Turned away from the Mountview and the Budabar for not having a knife

I worked with a bouncer once who claimed he could always spot a fake ID.
So I decided to test him.

Me: So where did you do the door?
Him: The Roost in Maynooth and a few others.
Me: The Roost? Grand so you should be able to spot a fake NUIM ID then?
Him: A mile away!
[I hand him my college ID and he scrutinises it]
Him: A yeah that's definitely fake.
Me: Why would I have a fake ID that says I'm 17?
Him:

Toto Wolfcastle · 17-06-2008 04:03PM

The week after I turned 18 I went to a put with my passport. The photo was taken about 2 years beforehand and I hadn't really changed much since then.

I gave it to the bouncer and he said 'sorry, not tonight.' When I asked why he said that the girl in the photo had a fatter face than me. I thanked him for saying that I'd lost weight and walked away.

I wouldn't mind but the ids my friends used to use looked nothing like them and they never got turned away!

Duggy747 · 17-06-2008 04:32PM

Never had bad excuses put to myself before but there was one that happened years ago when I was up in Galway in The King's Head for Paddy's Day. I had just ordered me 2nd pint when a mate rang me to meet up with him. I go, leaving my jacket and me pint with the rest of the gang and meet up with me mate who had just emerged from bed, lazy git.

Anywho, return to the pub when the bouncer stops me and asks for me I.D. I hand it to them and tell him I was just in there 5 mins ago. He hands me back my I.D and says this:

Bouncer: Go home.
Me: Wait..........wha?
Bouncer: Go home.
Me: I was just in there, why are you refusing me to go back in?
Bouncer: *shrugs his shoulders* That's the why.
Me: You gotta be fùckin' kiddin' me!
Bouncer: You've had enough. Go home.
Me: It's 1:30 and I've just finished my 1st pint.
Bouncer: *letting baby-faced cùnts in now at this point* Leave now or I'll fùckin' throw you to the floor!

:eek: Unbelievable! I gave him a good send off with some strong-winded profanities, rang me buddies who were in the pub and headed off to another one. Killed the good buzz I was having and pissed me off.............though not for along as I got quite sloshed that day :pac:
