Was refused entry to a nightclub for no reason. What can I do?

Hello sorry to hear about your experience.
firstly I must say being a doorman at a main venue in east London I know that a lot of venues refuse a lot of Asian men for no apparent reason.
It is not your right to go into a venue
the door staff are there to prevent anybody they do not wish to come into the venue,you have to accept the decision and frustrating as it is you will not get anywhere by arguing. You cannot do anything about it and do not have to be given a reason. The same as if someone came to your home and wanted to come in and you don't want them in you won't let them in . You don't have to give a reason. The only thing you can do is show some respect and good manners and walk away. That way you have a good chance of being admitted in the future. As for your friend striking door staff well it's unacceptable and carries 6 months sentence,ask yourself is it really worth it.

Hi,

My cousin invited me to her party yesterday and it was a clubbing event. It was all nicely planned out, with cakes and so on.

Basically, I was working yesterday and came to the club 30 minutes later all of my other cousins and friends. When I was in the line, the manager or member of management asked me why I came so I explained that I came to a cousins party and that they were inside. I called my cousin and then she told him that I'm with him, so he said no problem, 'its a free entry for you'. I felt a bit happy, and so I got back in the line and queued up.

However, as soon as I approached the bouncers, the first thing they said was 'sorry, there's too many guys inside.' I kept telling them that the manager said that I was allowed in and so on and to my luck the people behind were a friend of my cousins and so they told the bouncer that I actually did come to a party.

To my suprise, I was refused entry. So what I did was, I stood outside the queue to wait until a few guys might get kicked out. However, a few minutes later 10 guys, and yes 10 guys were allowed in just like that. I then went back to the bouncer and said 'that's not fair, how comes you let 10 guys in and you won't let me in'? The bouncer was so rude that he imitated me and started laughing and his colleagues too were laughing.

It seemed apparent that the club had something against me. Basically, I don't drink or smoke, so I wasn't drunk when I was in the queue. Also I was very smartly dressed, and the fact that I was rejected just like that without good reason seems to me that the club are racist. I'm Asian and I noticed that black guys couldn't get in either.

My mate got kicked out of the club shortly after and he called for a fight with the bouncer, but the bouncer kept laughing. However, the bouncer wasn't laughing when my mate knocked the **** out of him. Because, I wasn't allowed in, literally 30 people left the club. These 30 were my closest people and I felt so guilty that I said that I would go home alone and told them to enjoy themselves. But they refused.

My question is, why was I refused entry for no apparent reason? Also when I spoke to the manager, he was being such a pussyhole and kept saying 'I don't know. I don't know.' I mean how could you not know, its your choice of who to let in and out.

Firstly, I never dressed chavy.

How do you know or assume that I did?

I was wearing a shirt, tie, black trousers, a jumper and some black trainers for dancing

I just want to reassure you that it's not a racist thing nor a gender thing. I'm a 34 year old white female and I get refused entry to clubs all the time now. Most times (I will admit there was indeed a couple of times I was drunk) but most of the time I haven't been drunk (unless it's now possible to get drunk on water or cola now). I was appropriately dressed. There were no reasons. But I still get refused. I understand your feeling of being discriminated against as it's happened to me so many times. I even questioned the bouncer one time. "What's the reason?" I ask. He simply replied, "I don't have to give a reason." Do I look drunk or am I inappropriately dressed?" I asked. To which he himself replied, "no." So I have no idea of the reason. However, I don't agree that these issues are to be resolved with violence. It's those kinds of attitudes that cause wars. It also gives them more ammo to use against you if you should complain.

Sounds like an age thing.
