can i sue a bigot barman for having a bad atitude and barring me and my pal.?

Answer 1

It depends on wether you were being discriminated for your sex or race. If you have then you are going to need evidence to win.

Answer 2

I work in a bar that has a bouncer Thursday thru Saturday. We kick people out all the time. B/c when alcohol is a factor people tend to act up. More than once we've had incidents where someones been thrown out for one thing or another and has no recollection of what happened. If the barman threw you out he probally had a reason. And why would you want to sue him? If hes a barman ( no offense, I'm not dogging the occupation ) you don't really have a whole lot to sue for. All of the barmen I know are hard working guys who come to work b/c they have to, not b/c they like dealing w/ all the town drunks on the weekend. My suggestion to you is to find another bar. They're everywhere.

Answer 3

Unlikely.

The owners/tenants of the land can refuse access to anyone they so desire and do not need to give a reason for doing so. This merely sounds like an extension of that basic legal principle.

Also, to sue someone you have to establish a loss that you incurred which can be remedied by the possible defendant paying you damages after legal proceedings. What loss (that can be translated into financial terms) have you sustained?

The only limitations to the proprietor exercising the above right is if it is of a discriminatory nature; namely, not allowing you access to the business premises on the basis of your race, possible disability or your religion (if you live in Northern Ireland - I do not think anti-religious discrimination legislation has been applied to the rest of the U.K. as of yet).

Personally, I would go and find another bar and do not bother in wasting any court's time!

Answer 4

Unfortunately no, it's not against the law to be a bigot, nor is having a bad attitude illegal.

Only an action (like him taking a swing at you!) is valid for a lawsuit.

Remember the 'bigot barman' enjoys freedom of speech and is protected by the first amendment, provided he is an American citizen.

Answer 5

In a pub the bar mans word is law.
I once barred someone for being too tedious
(Justin,about 15 years ago in the Duke of York in Eccles.
If hes reading this I would bar him again today)
Barman have a job serving annoying people for hours,you were probably drunk and deserved it

Answer 6

File a case against the barman for unjust vexation under the Penal Law.

Answer 7

not really but take this into thoght barmen work around 10 hours a night a when people get drunk they tend to be more cocky and idiotic so the barman probly thoght you had a bad attitude

Answer 8

Sure you can. But more than likely you will lose. They have the right not to serve people who they believe are drunk or a danger to themselves or others. If they think you have a bad attitude they can ask you to leave and have no further obligation to serve you.

Answer 9

In a free country, any business reserves the right not to serve someone.

I general find that barmen are excellent judges of character...

Answer 10

Probably not, most bars have those 'the management reserve the right to refuse service' signs, I doubt there's any getting round it.

Answer 11

Ever heard of the expresion "We reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE"? They dont even have to have a reason, if he wants you out , gotta go! Why would you want to give a "bigot" you money anyway, find a bar where you are welcome.
