    I remember a few years ago in Australia we were going into a nightclub and a fella in front of me got stopped for wearing runners,he says to the bouncer "but you let the guy in ahead of me and he had runners on",and the bouncer says "yeah mate but yours are runner runnners" :D,i thought i was very funny anyway :)


    speaking of austrailia i found the bouncers there to be very reasonable and nice, but thats considering they were kiwis and extremely nice people wouldnt accept my irish drivers license as id nicest refusal i ever got:D

    but back to what 90% of the board is saying i've only been refused once in ireland and i still dont like the bouncers here..jack bauer wouldnt be in the same league as them "how many have you had" "where are you coming from" "where are you from" etc

    Nope, that's New Zealanders...

    Unless you were talking about New Zealanders in Australia...

    Been stopped a few times on accout of age - then showed id, stopped a few times on account of being too drunk - then proved I wasn't (at least one time I really was and should have gone home -except I was staying with a friend and wouldn't have had a key). Was stopped in a group and told it was an over21s bar - despite the fact that we had friends inside - that was probably on account of the guys I was with and what they were wearing, it wasn't that kind of place... :o

    Never been stopped and turned away when it wasn't for being u18. Which is fair enough. And I've never gone out in town in runners (and never would) so that's never happened.

    All kinds of reasons for it but apart from getting really annoyed I just do nothing, what would be the point?

    Im a 19 year old female and back in November we were heading to a pub in Galway. 6 of us were over 18, and 2 of the girls were 17. Now, none of us were drunk, so the bouncer lets the the 2 under agers in with no bother at all, then refuses me and my 2 other friends before he even looked at our ID. My friend showed him her driving license, and said she even had her student card & bank card. I then got out my passport & he goes "sorry age cards only" even though the under age girls he let in had used passports & he knew we'd seen this.


    Was also understandably stopped another night getting into a different pub, bouncer saw me shimmying my way towards him & said over 21s only...That night I understand not being allowed in, but the other night was just ridiculous

    I think places can be more easy going about things now, but some places still do it. I remember one night out in dublin, i was walking along the quay, passed some place going to get food, and there was a big queue of people waiting to get in somewhere, I've never seen that before, thought it was hilarious, I'd never queue to get in to a bar.

    going into o reillys last night, they stopped us and asked us to open our bags, to check did we have any drinks in there. did it no problem at the time, but the more i think of it, the more pissed off it makes me.

    Mate of mine has a problem with his tear ducts needs them probed quite regularly and his eyes waters up.

    Looks like he's out of his tree when it happens, one time was stopped going into a bar at 8pm stone cold sober but the bouncers were having none of it, thought it was a drug induced story he came up with.

    Theres some right wanker bouncers in Drogheda, at one place they are complete dickheads, I had a rather nasty run in with them a while back, bastards, hope they get their heads kicked in sometime soon.

    Not gonna go into detail as I will give away my identity.

    Some are sound though.

    I rarely get refused, only if I don't have my id really.
