I need a bit of guidance on this one. Last night I was refused from a well known niteclub in Dublin. To understand what happened I would need to give the background first.
In the last 9 months I've been to this place on 4 occasions. The first occasion was a work collegues leaving do. No issues, got a taxi and went home leaving a work collegue on the way. Exact same the second time. Remember both nights in question clearly.
The third time was a month ago. A male work collegue and myself went up to the door. The security person got a call on the radio to say that we were not being let in. Upon further questioning, it transpired that there was a problem with me. The other guy argued and was let in. Fair enough. I asked what the problem was. No reason given. I stayed outside for less than 5 minutes trying to reason with the bouncer. Gave up, went home and had a pint in the local.
The fourth occasion was last night. Went up with the same lad and a few others. Same thing again. I wasn't getting in. I had a man to man conversation with the bouncer and asked what the problem was. It transpired that this other bouncer (who wasn't on the door on any occasion I was there!) had the problem. Apparently I threatened "to kill him" on the second night that I was there having successfully got in. There was no talking to him so again I left and went to my local.
What annoys me is how can this be legally allowed? I understand the concept of refusal of entry to a licensed premises but to refuse you because of the attidute problem of one bouncer is rediculus. Whats worse is that I got into this particular spot on two ocassions, remember exactly what happened and remember who I got home with.
Is there anything legal I can do? I highly doubt this chap is going to have a discussion about this. As you can imagine this is very embarassing with work collegues in presence etc and as such I'm not having it continue.
Finally if I thought for one second that I did something wrong, an apology would be offered.
