Ever been thrown out of a bar?

[LostInAnomie]

Poll question: Ever been thrown out of a bar?

I have, but just for being underage.

[Lil Missy]

1. No. But I've seen it happen.

[enigmatic]

2. Many times between the ages of 18-26 n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. Only once

Considering I puked all over the place, I'd say it was justified.

Of course I went back to the same bar the next weekend, and several after that, so it wasn't a permanent banning.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

4. twice - but it was only my fault once.

Once I took a swing at and floored a coked up douchebag who kept crudely demanding a female friend blow him under the table, the second time I was in South Africa with a group of anglos who got in a fight with some shitfaced afrikaners, it started with them calling each other white trash and quickly went down hill from there. Being an afrikaner establishment it was the english who got thrown out.

[BikeWriter]

5. Hell, I''ve been thrown INTO bars!

:rofl:

[Lucian]

6. Yeah, for getting into a fight.

But it wasn't my fault. O8)

[old mark]

7. Yes. I grabbed a State Representative by the neck intending to punch his

lights out.
As I was being "escorted" from the place, the bartender said,"come back in a few days - than asshole won't be here then."

[SoxFan]

30. That was you! Fecking asshole!

:evilgrin:

[old mark]

53. No one's perfect.......nt

[hobbit709]

8. No but I threw plenty of people out when I worked at AWHQ

[kaiden]

9. I got thrown out of a Denny's. Does that count?

[bluedigger]

56. No way! Me too!

Auburn, Maine?:rofl:

[mikeytherat]

10. Yes. in 1990, our church choir was thrown out of Hard Rock Cafe - NYC for being too rowdy.

I am dead serious. In fact, our group had been so drunk and rowdy, we were refused admission the next night. And yes, I am totally serious about that!

[Roon]

11. I was dating this guy and we decided to hit the gay bars

We went to three different bars only to be informed that my date has been 86ed out of them in the past. I didn't date this guy anymore after that.

[tekisui]

12. I've been denied a drink before

But, never thrown out.

[MrCoffee]

13. Not just once.

[Symarip]

14. Of course

You think I'm only this charming on DU?

[TZ]

24. Yeah. This is today's water is wet post...

Somehow I think this is a regular occurance for you...

[Symarip]

26. Hell

I almost got kicked out of Shamrock Fest. Think about that, thousands of idiots, drunk, and I'm the guy they want to give the boot to.

[miss_american_pie]

15. Carried out

by an entire band once. But never thrown out. ;)

[DFW]

16. Well, no, but there are extentuating circumstances

Since I don't drink, I'd be more likely to be thrown into a bar than out of one.

[MrCoffee]

17. Ron White has

[coyotespaw]

18. That depends....

does being dragged out by four bouncers count as being thrown out, even if my feet never left the ground? I'm not quite light enough to throw.

[Auggie]

32. Details?

What in heck did you do?

[Sanity Claws]

19. Closing time

A friend and I used to go to a nearby restaurant with a bar. They closed at midnight, kind of early in my mind.

[LynneSin]

20. Yes - for deciding I wanted to get on stage with the band and sing "I Melt With You"

I was pretty trashed that night

[Symarip]

21. Modern English?

Please tell me you have pictures of this.

[LynneSin]

23. Band doing a cover

I'm not THAT old

[Symarip]

27. They reunited

You could have done your stage dive in 1997.

[Auggie]

22. One -- by the Martini Nazi at Persian Aub Zam Zam in San Francisco

It was years ago by the original owner, Bruno Mooshei. My group of four was asked to leave 30 seconds after we walked in the font door. I think the problem was that we had the audacity to speak to each other.

From sfgate.com:

... Equally legendary was Mr. Mooshei's cantankerous personality. If he didn't like the looks or attitude of a potential patron, he would brusquely send the person away.

"Bruno always served people if they did three basic things: come sit at a stool, put your money on the bar and give him your order," longtime patron David Gutekunst, 50, said yesterday. "But people that came in, fooled around, went to the bathroom, laughed with their friends, said 'What would you recommend?' when he asked for their order -- to them, he'd say, 'I recommend the corner bar.' He expected people to have bar manners."

"Bruno had kind of a crusty reputation," agreed Robert Clarke, another Zam Zam habitue and friend of Mr. Mooshei. "He had definite ideas about the way a bar should be run. He had, as he said, 'old school' ways. Ladies got napkins and gentlemen didn't. He ran a very strict bar. He had the freedom to do that because he wasn't working for anybody else."

[TZ]

25. Not me but my mom has.....

A long time ago for having a fake ID while in college..She was arrested too....

[crim son]

28. I'm afraid so. I made a rude comment about the physical appearance of a fellow patron.

He was insulted and told the bouncer I'd poured a drink on him. He lied and I was removed from the establishment. Served me right for being incredibly rude and insensitive.

[SoxFan]

29. For falling asleep

Long day, a couple of whisky sours, and this is what happens.

Granted, this was about 17 years ago...

[Joey Liberal]

52. That happened to me too

And I loved Whiskey Sours. Very tasty and a great buzz. After a long day at work and a long night of boozing, I found myself nodding off. But I didn't get kicked out for that. I had a habit of wrecking bathrooms and brawling. Glad I gave that up a long time ago:).............

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Amazingly no

Even after I got in a barfight once, I didn't get thrown out. The bartender just bought me a drink, granted I was the one getting jumped out of absolutely nowhere.

[GOPisEvil]

33. Yes.

A woman in the large group of people I was with got into a fistfight with a woman from another large group of people over a chair. The bar kicked everybody out.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

34. Yes, but only because the guys I was with

decided that they needed to explain - very loudly and in really pathetic Spanish - to the bartender - and every other fucking person in the bar - that the big photograph on the wall was of the Oakland Bay Bridge, not the Golden Gate Bridge, and so the bar's name - "The Golden Gate" - was all wrong. They kept at it long after my tugging on their sleeves had evolved into my shouting "Shut the fuck up!" All to no avail. We were tossed out, rather roughly. Not me, but the guys.

This was the Callao section of Lima, Peru, down by the docks. We were lucky they didn't hack us to death.................

[baldguy]

35. Yeah, and I deserved it.

[Mr. McD]

36. No, but I was met at the door of one and told

Turn around, we don't want your kind in here. This was near Portland OR in the late 70's. They said my hair was to long. I still don't know kind they were referring to.

[rug]

37. Oh, come on, I can't believe only 2/3 of the lounge has been thrown out of a bar.

[Canuckistanian]

38. I was refused entrance to a bar once by the bouncer

And why? Because he witnessed me jaywalking across the street to get to his bar.

[Xipe Totec]

39. I had to escape once. Does that count?

One of my buddies got smashed in the eye with the bottom of a beer bottle by a prostitute.

What a bar brawl that was...

We were lucky to make it back across the border.

'nuff said...


:yoiks:

[Shell Beau]

40. I got kicked out of a Widespread concert once!

:o

I did nothing wrong either. I was waiting on my husband at the bathroom. A security guard told me I was too close to the men's room. I did get a small attitude because I was just standing there waiting. He told me to get out. I called him a power hungry asshole. Well that really did it, but I was already kicked out, had nothing to lose. Lucky for me, my brother was an agent of some sort (won't say, he was an undercover agent) and there were some guys there who knew him and said Fuck That and let me back in! Worked out for me. When I was walking out, I ran back into the dude who kicked me out. I had some choice words for him along with a "nah nah na boo boo, I got back in"!!!

[liberaltrucker]

41. Does a restaurant that serves booze count?

Then, yes. Back in the day, some friends and I went to a steakhouse
in Birmingham, AL. While waiting for a table, we had a "few". We
were finally seated, menus distributed. I happen to like my steak
rare, so when the server asked, I said "cut off it's horns and wipe
it's ass". The manager didn't take too kindly to that.

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

42. Darn.. nope

I was gonna tell stories. :rofl:

I was never underage. I stole my brother's birth certificate and went to the DMV as him. He was 6 years older than I. I consider that a successful "stick it to the man" period.

:D

[RiffRandell]

43. Yes. n/t

[BarenakedLady]

44. Nope

O8)

[Inchworm]

45. They don't card hot young thangs

at Bubba's.

:yoiks:












:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. No..

Not yet anyway. :evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

61. Why the hell would they, that would be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg

[WCIL]

47. Yes

Vodka makes me think I can fight.

[Tom Kitten]

48. I'll always hate the Doug Fir Lounge for 86ing me at the Mission of Burma show

I didn't get thrown out but wouldn't be let back in by your stereotypical shaved head and goatee bouncer type...

It was a great bill, opening act was 50 Foot Wave, Kristin Hersch's band, and they were great, rocked out! I drank a few beers only! Mission of Burma were great, a legendary band I was very glad to see on their reunion tour, because of their greatness, and they proved true...They said they were taking a break and would be back to do their older stuff...I went outside to smoke and then tried go back in...Bald headed fart type said "Whoa! You're out of it, we can't let you back in, you've had too much! (Or something to that effect, anyways, it pissed me off, I am not one to make waves!) I protested and blurted out "What are you talking about? I paid twenty bucks to see this band! They're one of my favorites! You have to let me back in!" Or words to that effect. He grinned and his eyes slid towards his buddies he was talking too before I approached..."OK, now I know for sure I'm not letting you back in..."
So I left, mightily pissed off. Ever since then I've hated the Doug Fir Lounge...

[tigereye]

49. no, but the band I was in was asked to stop playing

:rofl:

[victoryparty]

50. I guess the fact that I can't remember probably means that I did

[Joey Liberal]

51. Yes, a few times - was even banned once

And I think I hold the worlds record for the fastest ejection from a bar - about 10 seconds. As I walked into a bar I yelled BEER! at the top of my lungs. Two bouncers grabbed me, turned me around, and threw me right out! Bars to me were a place to cause mayhem. Unfortunately, bouncers and bartenders didn't always share my enthusiasm:).........

[leeroysphitz]

54. 1989, Athens GA. The Odessy club.

And the bouncers kicked th SHIT out of me.

I wish I could remember if I had it coming or not...
:P

[MorningGlow]

55. No, but I almost was

Not for the usual reasons. A "friend" and I were at a pub early in the evening, when it was quiet, and our discussion turned into an argument. (Long story. It wasn't sudden.) A waiter came over and asked us if everything was all right. We toned it down, left soon after, and our friendship ended on the sidewalk outside.

[Silver Swan]

57. I wasn't thrown out, I was banned.

And it had nothing to do with drinking.

And I was sixty years old at the time.

I got even by reporting the manager to Social Security because I knew he was receiving benefits and not reporting his earnings.

[Lil Missy]

58. Again, no I haven't. I don't get assholish when I drink.

I behave myself.

O8)

Kidding aside, I have seen others kicked out.

Ironically, I had the worst luck of being there the night the resident narcissist got fired. She doesn't even drink, and was worse than any drunk I've ever seen. She got escorted out in handcuffs.

A dry drunk, possibly the worst situation ever dealt with in that place.

If my kid ever acted like that, I'd smack him into next Tuesday. But I never had to worry about that. He was a good kid, and had manners.

[Left Is Write]

59. No. Not even when I was underage.

[dana_b]

60. No, but my kid was - while I was with her.

Long story - but let's just say that she was there for the right reasons but the clb owners were just protecting their asses. understandable.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

62. All I'm going to say is that there is one POS "club" in Ocean City, Maryland that can go to hell.

And if it suspiciously burns down one day, just remember I live in Florida now.

:sarcasm:

[trof]

63. Darwin's Theory, Anchorage, Alaska.

Darwin had an all female staff and ONE rule.
"The staff is always right."

I was talking to the guy next to me, who I'd never laid eyes on before.
He made some offhand, totally innocuous, comment to the bartender.
It was noisy and it was obvious to me she'd misundertood what he said when she frowned, pointed to the front door, and yelled "OUT!"

He said a couple of 'but...buts' and she repeated her command.
He left.
I felt sorry for the guy and tried to explain what he'd really said.
By then Darwin had come out to the bar and saw me 'arguing' with his bartender.
"YOU! OUT TOO!"

I left.
;-)
