Excuses bouncers have used to stop people getting in...

    Was in Messers Maguire (Dublin) Friday night, in the smoking area. Had to stop myself laughing out loud when a bouncer told a group of english lads that it was a "private function", and when the lads asked for a "good pub" the bouncers directed them across O'Connell bridge to another pub. And yes, they fell fro it and walked off. Messers, as anyone knows, is quite a big pub, so I found it funny as hell.

    Any other good witty excuses that you heard when stopping people from getting in?

    "regulars only" is a fcuk you type of way of a bouncer not letting you in. Its a total rub and they know it :pac:

    But it all comes down to weather a bouncer likes the look at you. Half of the time these questions are bull**** and are just really a way to suss you out. Get talking to you. But the other half is a little powertrip game.

    The lads working the door or Messers Maguire's & Q Bar are idiots working minimum wage, on the very bottom rung of the ladder. Complete amateurs on the door, so you'll have to excuse them their ways.

    A good doorman won't use an excuse - you'll have given it to him well before you think he's copped you.

    Other than that, I hate working with lads who say "regulars only" - its a sure fire way of kicking off a row.. Its in your face rude, and most experienced lads detest hearing it.

    "Sorry lads, I don't know the faces" - usually used on scumbags, who know they're scumbags and won't give too much grief. A different kind of "fook off", and understood by scumbags as 'the lads on the door are wide to us'.

    "Sorry lads, there's too many of ye" - the bouncer is a windy fooker.. A good lad should be able to call the shots on one or ten lads, number's should never come into it.

    Re. the above - NO WHERE has a ratio of girls to guys.. Its simply a case that girls, regardless their looks are normally sober and carry themselves better and behave themselves approaching the door than the lads when their out on the town.. And its really that simple.

    Agree with your post 100%.
    But at the same time isnt it about letting the girls in too cause if a place was a total sausage fest guys would leave.

    No never.

    The money goes across the bar regardless.

    Some nights you have a lot of lads out, other's its the girls. There's real effective way of controlling it.

    Its just one of those myths really.

    I'd say the next question was to ask you for ID, and regardless he's have told you your too young and your ID was fake - its a nice way of saying to a girl "F*&@$$#**£;" when they act really childish and underage.
