If you're in your 20s and feeling the itch to go bar-hopping this weekend in central Ohio, you might want to double-check the door policy first. At least one establishment is officially off-limits to the under-30 crowd.
Donerick's Pub in the Columbus suburb of Groveport has stirred up controversy by announcing they will ban anyone younger than 30 years old from entering on Friday and Saturday nights, starting at 10 p.m… This started a few weeks back.
The bar says the new age policy, which includes a $5-10 cover charge for the over-30 crowd, is aimed at preventing violence and prioritizing safety. As they put it in a reply to a Facebook comment: "We will try different methods to keep the violence down. It will not be tolerated."
While details are scarce on what specifically prompted this drastic measure, it seems the owners have had one too many incidents of unruly behavior from the college-aged and 20-something clientele.
Donerick's is taking a stand - and a risk, simultaneously insulting and shutting out a huge chunk of the bar-going population.
But who knows maybe this will start of trend. It could bring in a mature crowd that can handle their liquor and give the owners and fellow bargoers fewer headaches.
