When I started going out drinking in town in 1999, I was suprised to see that some pubs in the town centre had bouncers on the door because I thought only nightclubs had bouncers. So I was wondering, have pubs always had bouncers on the doors or is it somthing thats only come about in recent years and if so when did pubs start having bouncers on the door?

i think this depends on the atmosphere of the bar/pub in general. if it's a rough crowd and there is a steady need for a bouncer then there is one... why would you use a band-aid if there was no cut?...... duh, at 28 you should know better then to ask a silly question like this one.

I was a bouncer at a pub back in 1998. I think it really depends on where they are located and the history of trouble that they had. The pub where I worked didn't have one when I first started going there. There was actually some trouble while I was up there drinking one night and I kicked the guy out that was giving one of the waitresses some trouble. They asked me if I wanted to work the door up there, and I said sure, I come up here anyways. I worked up there for 4 years till I got sick of dealing with drunk people, now I don't even go out that much any more.

A responsible owner of an establishment will place a man at the door for a few reasons,,,The main one is , if a minor DOES happen to get in and somehow gets busted,,,the owner can hold the bouncer responsible instead of the establishment (scapegoat),,,,,another is for the security purposes,,,,But don't be fooled,,,again ,,,,its a smart owner,,,,,With a guy at the door,,,,his insurance rates will be reduced dramatically,,,,,,then the minor reasons,,,,looks upscale,,,,fights,,,,,escorts to cars for women,,,,etc

depends on the owner and location of the pub/ in my opinion i would feel safer knowing there was a bouncer

I think that we know have security and bouncers nearly everywhere alcohol and potential fights/ inappropriate behaviour may be a problem, i see it as a control measure, it is probably law now to avoid a litigiuos situtation
