Are the stories true then about people being turned away for wearing the wrong type of shoes? I heard people were rejected for wearing brown shoes!!

I'll be going there next week and was planning to wear a shirt with jeans and some light brown deck shoes, if the bouncers know anything about fashion i should be fine, so i'm not confident

I used to think I looked the dogs bollocks in tartan bondage trousers, beetle crushers, a destroy shirt and a peroxide mohawk but alas most of the town's bouncers thought I looked a twat therefore it was a toss up between The Chains or The Lamb.

And The Lamb won.......eventually!

I was barred from the Village in Newport for wearing what I considered to be Tennis Shoes and it was Wimbledon fortnight....

Can't remember who we went to see, but I was sat on the tailgate of a lorry in the car-park waiting for the others when a Police Mini-van approached. The two coppers got out and went round to the back. 'Bugger me, they're getting the dog out', I thought. They actually had a cadet in the back of the van. I couldn't stop laughing - which didn't go down too well....

We got in one weekend in a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday with no hassle whatsoever.

Two weeks later, another large group of us celebrating another friend's birthday and my boyfriend- who was wearing exactly the same outfit as the previous time- was refused entry because he had boots on instead of shoes.

Yep, seems pretty random to me.

well most of us got in, my cousin got rejected because he was apparently "being aggressive" he hadn't opened his mouth and walked in behind my mate who was paying him in, then for some reason the bouncer grabbed his arm and dragged him out.

then when we were all inside my mate was outside on the phone to his girlfriend back in Liverpool who had just been spat at by her mate's boyfriend, he said on the phone something like "he's a ****, i'll sort it out when i get back tomorrow", the bouncers were listening in to his conversation and said "nah lad, we've been listening to you on the phone, you're not coming in"

Ridiculous place. Tbf the 5 of us who got in left after about 20 minutes because it was awful, the only place that was busy was the smoking room, the rest was pretty poor and the music was awful (aside from Mr. Brightside).

 

[zakkwylde87]

I've been in. Thankfully i can't remember my experience. Apart from moving from the bar to the outside area repeatedly cause thats the only route i know without getting lost.

Gash - thats the word i was looking for.

I've still not been, can't see the appeal of it tbh.

Much rather go to birmingham, spend less money, dress how I want, take as many drugs as I want, listen to the music I want and party till 6am. Job done.

Must be getting old as I'd rather stay at home!

The Barton Arms? wonderful pub - an oasis in a concrete desert. One of the barmaids used to work in the High House I believe...

 

[zakkwylde87]

ahhh... the Wellington.

Sounds like they could do with taking a leaf out of the rainbow's book.

Anyone know what their policy on trainers is when it comes to a friday or saturday? Its my birthday next weekend so I was hoping for a night out but will I not get in as I only have plimsoll style trainers?

I couldnt find a dress code which was specific enough, if I turn up in a smart pair of jeans, a sweater or t-shirt with a pair of plimsolls I doubt theres any point in trying?

Anyone know how much Drinks are in the Couture section for the Saturday? Doesnt mention it anywhere that I have looked

Why not ask for a pair of shoes as its your birthday?

Get shoe tattoos on your feet, go to the door barefoot and put your pumps back on inside.

 

[Kingy]

Remove your feet completely, thus avoiding the need for shoes or trainers.

 

[Withnail]

Blimey, is the place that good!

I saw someone at Butlins last week with a doc martin tattooed on his foot, full 16 eyelet one! Only on one foot though.
