Bouncers On The Door
In another thread Sheffield Hatter states that he has a policy of never going into a pub that has a bouncer on the door.
I mention that sadly this means that he wouldn't go into The Baum on a Friday or Saturday night then. The town centre management insist that they have a bouncer on, they don't really need one, but there's no choice.
This place The Old House also has a bouncer on the door at weekends, but this is to stop the dipsticks from nearby West Street going in, rather than any problem inside the pub. This means that the experience inside the pub is better. So the bouncer is a positive in my opinion in this case.
I'd struggle to visit most pubs in Rochdale and many in Manchester/Sheffield/Leeds/Derby/Nottingham/York/Newcastle/Liverpool etc if I applied that rule.
What does everyone else think?
Does having a bouncer on the door put you off? Or is it just a fact of life these days?
