I’ve heard about them . . . now you can see them! (without going to these bars that most of my readers would never go to!) Yeah, I sacrificed my Thursday night and took a field trip! There are probably many more out there, but there are only so many bars you can go to in a night. If you happen so see one of these signs when you are out an about, please snap a photo and send it to me!
Here’s what it says . . .
– No white tees.
– No excessively baggy or long clothes (shirts must stop at about elbow level, shorts must not hang below the knees)
– No sagged pants or shorts (must cover your underwear/Above your ass).

– No jerseys except on game days

Wandos will not accept identification cards as a valid form of ID.

This one is from the Whiskey River (formerly the Pub for those of you who haven’t been out on State St. lately!)

Like I said, these are just two examples. The dress codes were NOT enforced on a Thursday night . . . but they basically just make up the rules as they want to as the signs pretty much say. I like the “subject to change without notice” and “strictly enforced at management discretion” language. Like I said, they do whatever they want and apply the rules to whomever they want to apply them to.
What is a “dew-rag”? Related to Mountain Dew and extreme sports? Something worn by meteorologists who camp out under the stars? I know what a “do-rag” is, but I had never heard if the other sort.
If you’re going to discriminate, I say, at least be literate about it!
