Where i live peaked headwear is banned in almost every pub in the town centre, i stopped going to them because i like to wear a hat, i am lazy with my hair but i wasn't allowed entry to any without removing my hat even though i said i was quite happy to remove it at the door, stare at the camera for 30secs so they got a good pic of me and then go in.
I say peaked headwear as i have seen many others with different hats, its just baseball caps that are banned.
Sikhs however shouldn't be drinking alcohol, though many do. They will under no circumstances ( as far as i am aware) remove their turbans in public, I remember many years ago when i worked in Feltham watching some nasty little chav pull a Sikh guys turban off his head and try to run off with it, he got the beating of his life for it from a whole bunch of people and the landlord threw the chav out all messed up.
Sikhs do have really cool long glossy hair underneath it though, they would be great for Timotei adverts waving it about in a mountain stream.
Good call on Nike being a goddess answerer above though Nike ( Ny'Kee)is an aspect of Athena not an actual Goddess herself, Athena Nike - aspect of Victory, Pallas Athena - aspect of wisdom in war (generalship / strategy).

No more than the Pope, Bishop or a similar religious association is not prohibited from wearing headgear into a pub.
Other than fashion statements of hat embodied through a more relaxed form of caps, the turn of 20th century, adults wore head ornaments, hats and caps, as a matter of good personal hygiene against industrial dirt.
Hats are removed when inside, or places akin to public streets, like lobbies, corridors, and crowded elevators (non-residential). Under old ettiquette, a public corridor is liken to the street, but an elevator in a hotel or apartment house has the character of a room in a house and therefore, a gentleman does not keep his hat on and in the presence of ladies, regardless. Traditional family pubs, similarly have characteristics akin to the notion of a house, and hence the hat or cap should be removed.
The exception lies in when hats are removed for solemn occasions likc National Anthems, passing of the Flag and funeral processions, outdoor weddings, dedications, and photographs.
In contrast, places of worship head coverings are required for both men and women in Muslim mosques, and Sikh temples.
In Christian churches, it was once required to wear hats but disrespectful for men to wear them, partly due to the fact that women may mess their hairdo when taking off or donning a hat.
Hence, if you can donn a cap that is founded and can be proved in the religious customs and traditions of the greek god of Nike, provided it is a recognised religion in Parliament and constitution, you should be able to wear it into the pub.

First off, Nike is an actual goddess, the Greek goddess of victory. Second, turbans don't apply to no-hats rules anywhere, because freedom of religion always takes precedence.

maybe if you scream freedom of religion... It has become normal for turbans to replace the long standing tradition of hats in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

everyone gets so up in arms about equality and whatnot...so if people want to be treated as equals they have to follow rules just like everyone else. if the rule is head wear off then thems the rules for everyone...it shouldn't matter who you are. i don't know if you will get away with the NIKE god thing, i don't know any bouncers that would be very impressed....come to think of it, i don't know any bouncers who ever seem impressed with anything!

I don't know but I know everyone has to remove their headgear when they take their driving tests these days. I saw it in the paper recently. Apparently people were taking tests for friends and families and the driving authority has taken special measures to prevent this happening.
