I was in the Odeon on Saturday night. On the way in I noticed a sign saying something along the lines of 'it is our policy to refuse admission to those under 23 years of age'.
To the best of my knowledge, the Odeon has a public license, not a private nightclub license, and so any member of the public who can prove they are over 18years of age are entitled to enter this public house.
Is there policy legal? I want to get a definitive answer on this cos it seems to go against the whole ethos of the Equality Status Act. Everyone will have their own opinions on whether its a good or bad policy, but I'd prefer to discuss the actual legalities of it. Thanks
