new in town, and looking forward to a nite out with the boys, 2 friends and myself headed out for a fun evening..... as we were walking in to JR's we were abruptly stopped by the door man because my friend from London was carrying a bag or ""Man purse."" we were told he couldn't go in with his bag. well, there were several woman in the bar with their purses, and in fact 1 walked in no problem no questions asked right after we were stopped!
i asked to speak with the manager, at which time the manager explained he was the only 1 that could override that rule, and would be happy to let us in as long as he could inspect my male friend's ""man purse""....that might have been fine actually however, women kept walking right into JR's the whole time this was happening and not one of them ever asked to show the doorman the contents in their bags! this is clear discrimination and sexism!!!!!!!
we decided NOT to patronage that joint and chose to spend our money somewhere else,
NOT TO MENTION THEY NEVER ONCE ASKED FOR ANYONE'S IDS TO ENTER THE BAR.....but a man purse will get you stopped cold in your tracks!
