Your friend gets denied entry into a bar. Do you go in or not?

[out_of_touch]

Asshole security is a thing, but in my case its usually their own fault for getting denied. They end up convincing me to leave with them even though I don't want to at all lol. Does your answer change if its only you two, or a group? (Substitute denied entry for getting kicked out, and bar for night/strip club if you want)

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Is this a joke?

Who the fuck would ditch a friend to go into a bar?

 

[Tzarscream]

If it's just me and him, I'm not going to go in alone.

If it's a group of 3 +, I would expect the non-entrant to take one for the team or go home and fix whatever it was that caused him denial and come back and try again.

Right. Lol.

But then again I saw someone a post about a boyfriend not wanting to pay for their meal because she forgot her wallet. So maybe it happens.

That seems like an American thing?

Anybody can get in to UK clubs providing they have smart shoes and can pay the entrance fee.

 

[Senator Toadstool]

Make sure when he takes it again that he studies more. The law can be hard.




(seriously. don't be an asshole and ditch your friend, there's other bars)

Its a joke. If you meet the dress code you'll get in. The only thing they tend to reject are people already drunk or not wearing the dress code.

 

[xxracerxx]

You are a shit friend if you go in and leave your friend. Just go somewhere else.

And substituting being denied with getting kicked out is just not 1:1.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

You aren't friends if you leave your friend hanging outside. It's an asshole move and I have 100% been on the other side. It wasn't a bar scenario, but still a shitty way to find out you aren't actually friends.

 

[defaltoption]

No of course not don't ditch your friend or friends who literally went out with you. Now if they're always an ahole and got into like fights with people all the time and got kicked out all the time, that's different but then you should've stopped going out with them. Just find a new place for the night, if you really want to check out that bar come back another time.

 

[Masoyama]

I had a roomate denied entry to a bar because his Indian drivers license looked fake as fuck compared to Western ones. I just told him that I would see him at home and went it *shrug*

What's with the poll OP?????

Oh brother this poll STINKS!
Oh and I wouldn't ditch a friend to go in to some lousy bar.

Also using an unorthodox identification. Fuck you, take my health card!

 

[samoyed]

Would stick with my friend.

[PaulloDEC]

I use it as an excuse to go home, because I hate bars.

 

[squall23]

If the plan was to go to a bar and my friend was denied, what exactly is the point of going in?

 

[Drain You]

There are so many variables here.

First off usually I'm going to stick with my friend, don't care if its a group or just one person. Usually even if they are in the wrong.

but...some of my friends are assholes and if they are pissing me off and deserve it fuck em I'm going in. haha.

Go to a different bar together. They aren't hard to find establishments.

Only bar/club I've seen any issues with since I was underage was in Berlin, and well that's Berlin for you.

Are you underage/too drunk/being shitty or something

I live in a college town and lots of people ditch their friends - because they're going out to be part of the bar scene, not to have a good time with their buddies.

I go out with my friends to be with my friends, so I wouldn't ditch them just to be around a bunch of drunk strangers. If I were out and happened to fall in with a group of friends who also were conveniently out at the same time, that's a different story. But I feel like that's not the same. Our bar scene is small (hell this town is super small) so there tends to be a bit of hopping between groups of people you bump into as the night progresses if you're out just to be out. There isn't a similar expectation like I'd say there is if you deliberately went out with some friends to get a few drinks with them, and a friend was denied entry.

but...some of my friends are assholes and if they are pissing me off and deserve it fuck em I'm going in. haha.

Yeah the way the OP was worded kinda implied the friend or friends in question might be assholes. In that case I'd go do my own thing and probably not go out to a bar with them again.

 

[lacer]

are you posting this solo from a bar by any chance?

 

[Nappuccino]

Uh, don't go in.

I'm trying to think of a good reason to ditch someone with whom you planned to go to a bar.

 

[plain]

Every so often we would have someone in our group that don't meet the dress code requirements at the club. No big deal, we always had backup spots.

 

[TrueSloth]

This happened to me recently. A couple friends came visiting from out of town and one of them accidentally left her wallet at at my place. We traveled far out of the way to this one bar that asked her to leave because she couldn't provide an ID.
So we went back home.

It would be a Dickish thing to leave her outside while the rest of us remained to drink.

Whoever ditches someone is clearly not a friend.

 

[Pirate Bae]

Why would you just abandon your friend like that? Lol

 

[Deleted member 1476]

In the past, yeah, I would leave.

Nowadays, knowing that I usually book my shit in advance, so if I don't go in I would be losing money? Nah, I'm going in.

People will screw you sooner or later, so I'm not taking any chances. I've had this situation happen with me from both sides, when it happened with me it was because the bouncer didn't like my ID (older model, but still valid), so I told everyone to just go inside and that I would deal with it. I dealt by going somewhere else (need to say that I eventually went back to that other place another day and had zero problems with the same ID). When it happened with one of my friends it was because of the dress code, and they said to me to go in so I went.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wait, people don't wait outside the bar while their friends have fun inside?

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Depends on the situation. Just the 2 of us? Obviously not. Let's just go to a different bar.

 

[davepoobond]

Yes because they were stupid enough to wear shorts and they knew they would be rejected

 

[Dullahan]

Of course not.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Thank God someone provided me with an excuse not to have to deal with drunks at a bar. I never wanted to go in the first place.

 

[BobbeMalle]

Yes, i stare at him through the window slurping my cocktail

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Drinking alone is pointless. I'd leave with them.

 

[I Don't Like]

Probably just go to another bar. If it's just two of us and they're denied at multiple places for being black out or something I'd ditch since they need to go home anyway.

haven't been in that situation since like college though. My friends - guys and girls - keep their shit together and living in the DC area you don't forget your fucking ID when you go out, so this isn't really a scenario we'd face.

In the past, yeah, I would leave.

Not exactly a bar, more like nightclubs.

 

[Vaco6121]

Normally I ditch them, but that is because 99% of the time its because they were denied because they didn't bring their ID with which at that point they deserve it, like we are going to the bar, you know they check ID's why in the hell didn't you bring it? For 1% other times I just go to a different bar with them.

 

[ElephantShell]

I absolutely do not want to got to a bar by myself so no. Hell I don't want to go to a bar period most of the time but definitely not by myself.

In a bigger group still probably not. It's not like there's one bar in the world we'd just go somewhere else.

 

[tommy7154]

I dont go to bars but all this is gross to me. A fucking dress code. To go get drunk? Same deal with golf. Shit is weird and elitist to me.

And i would never leave a friend like that. Crazy question to me.

 

[Deleted member 721]

 

[Kevers]

My friend doesn't drink so I'm not sure why we're going out drinking.

 

[Kwigo]

Friends come and go, bars are for life. Always go with the bar.

Yup, like if someone I'm with is being disrespectful for staff or people working somewhere, nah I'm good. I feel like everyone is assuming OP is just a friend ditching asshole.

Are they really your friends if you don't want to hang out with them?

With my work in the local music scene, most of my friends are the staff at the bars around town lol so you're damn right I'd immediately ditch someone being rude to them!
