Request bouncer ID number

rossom · 25-06-2010 10:22PM #1

Was at a Dublin Nightclub last night which will remain nameless.

My friend was asked to leave for being too drunk which he did without hassle. I go outside to see if he is ok and then ask the bouncer what time the night club closes at. He tells me the time and says why did I want to know it, to which I responded that I just wanted to reaffirm it for myself. He now tells me I can't get back in because I'm making up fake words that aren't in the English language. I could see the bouncer wasn't letting me back in so I go away for about 45 minutes and try again later.

The second time he once again doesn't let me in and after a few minutes of querying why I couldn't get back in he proceeds to verbally abuse me. I then ask for his ID number (which is displayed on his jacket) which he point blank refuses to give me.

Am I, by law, entitled to get this ID number.

Cheers for any responses!

Have no idea why that laughing face is in the title of my thread!

Why do people insist on giving bouncers the satisfaction of trying to get in even after being told they can't?

i thought you were gonna say you got his ID no. and subsequently got your own way against his initial wishes.

yeah, you can probably ask for it, but he's not really going to give it to you. you're better off saying nothing and keeping your dignity tbh.

orourkeda · 25-06-2010 10:25PM

Couldnt you tell after your first conversation that you were not going to get anywhere with this guy?

Unfortunately bouncers are nearly always a law unto themselves. They're failed policemen.

Another bit to the story which I should probably disclose. I have him on video verbally abusing me. Thats more of the reason why I wanted to know could I get his number.

You should have went home and got the gun.

Augmerson · 25-06-2010 10:30PM

Jesus christ, you have him on video? Bit far don't you think? Drop the vendetta OP, dignity can still be reclaimed, not too late.

What do you intend on using his ID number for?

And do what with the video?

I'm pretty sure its useless as you can't record someone without their consent.

"Hello Garda, I want to report a bouncer please, here's his number"
"Ok and what seems to be the problem"
"He said I used a word that didn't exist"

As if a bouncer has ever changed his mind.

"Actually Sir, i now see that you are not at all drunk and are in fact fit enough to re-enter the premises. Thank you for showing me my error! Go right in and have a good night!"

martyboy48 · 25-06-2010 10:40PM

In my day you would have been knocked out cold for looking at him sideways

i did it for a while to put myself through college, and i wasn't unnecessarily cuntish to anybody. if somebody came with a drunk mate, i'd refuse both. if the sober one returned without the mate, i'd let him in as long as he was polite.

there was one time i refused a drunk southsider, and he took out his credit card and said "fock you, I'll focking buy you. right here, right now, I'll focking buy you."

that obviously had no relevance to the story, but it made me giggle a bit while i was remembering those shitty days.

If that were the case, investigative journalists would be ****ed. A lot of other cases would be throw out of court because the video evidence wouldn't be admissable

Should have asked him to make you an offer and fax it over to your secretary on Monday morning, so your people could "liease" with his people and maybe run something up the collective flagpole and see if anything flutters.

Well....was your name on the list?

I think it's great that these threads really show the amount of gimps that get refused from night clubs.

Melion · 25-06-2010 10:56PM

No we dont have to give out our ID numbers. If you want it, say it to a guard. They are the only people we legally have to give it to.

Record whoever and whatever you like, provided it's in a public place

Meh, I've been allowed into places after being told I can't. Obviously if the bouncer was being a dick, or i'd done something naughty

I'd know there's no point , but otherwise: if you do it properly, pleading your case can work.

I get the feeling that staying civil and reserved is the key to not giving power-tripping bouncers the level of satisfaction they crave.

There may be no legal standpoint for the OP being given the ID number, but if what he says is true, and the bouncer threw him out for the reasons stated.. then it was a dickish thing to do
