Can the night club refuse the service /admittance to a person solely based on someone else`s accusations of that person? There is no drugs, alchogol or any other offensive behavior involved, but simply because Person A hates Person B and they happen to go to the same night club and the person A who hates Person B asked the owners of the night club to call the security next time the Person B shows up in the club? The accusations is that the Person A doesn`t feel comfortable in the person`s B presence ? Is it possible for a night club to refuse service/admittance to person B based on such accusations and what can the person B sue the person A for this?

Generally yes. A private business can refuse service to anyone, however there are various civil liberty protections against racial or similar issues.
If person B can prove that person A has made false accusations then person B has a good chance in court. Person B would need to consult an attorney.
Personal advice to person B let it go it's not worth the hassle, the night club will most likely close and a new one take its place before the case came to court. Also there are billions of other people on planet it should be real easy to avoid person A.
Best for person B to encourage friends CDEFG... to go to night club B

The night club has the right to refuse service to anyone on any grounds. You would have to prove damages caused by person A. I dont see any damages for being refused admittance to a night club. Just go some where else.

It's a private club. They can exclude anyone for any reason.
Person B can sue person A for slander or libel IF AND ONLY IF there's actual words (spoken or written, depending on slander or libel) that are completely untrue and injurious to one's reputation. For example, if person A had actually said that "Person B is a drug dealer" when person B is not (and can be proven!) THEN it may be grounds for a suit. However, if Person A said "I know Person B was arrested before for possession, I think he has a stash I wants to deal here tonight" and Person B was indeed arrested before, then there is no grounds for a suit by Person B.
However, Person B better have PROOF that person A said it, which means witnesses, audio / video tape, or whatever. Or even self-admission... But doubt that would happen very often.
"I feel uncomfortable in ____'s presence" is a personal opinion and perfect valid, and how the club owner/security deals with that is THEIR business.

I am a bouncer and a night club / bar has the right to refuse admittance to anybody they seem fit. If party A is in the club and party B shows up and tries to enter and the bouncers know A + B = Trouble, party B may not be allowed admittance.

A private club can refuse admittance to anybody they want to. The interpersonal differences between persons A, B, and C are irrelevant from a legal standpoint.

As a business owner, you have the right to refuse admittance/service to anyone for any reason. You don't even have to give them a reason, just tell them you're refusing to let them in/serve them.

Its private property. They can refuse admitance to anyone they want. Clubs do it all the time for many reasons.
and to the moron above...exactly how do the rich avoid serving in the war? Last I checked its a volunteer military. How do you avoid volunteering?? Isn't that why its called volunteer. For the record, plenty of people you would consider wealthy are serving and have died, so cut the lying propaganda. Pat tillman? I know three kids from my HS who have died in Iraq. All three came from rich, upper class families. One was a Duke Graduate. He enlisted. not even an officer, so there goes your theory. Check it out... Chaminade HS, Mineola, NY. They have well over a hundred alumni, all from upper class and "rich" families serving in uniform. Your theory that only the poor serve is flawed and BS.

The nightclub can refuse service to anyone! It's their establishment and their right.
As for Person B suing Person A, anyone can sue anyone for any reason. Doesn't mean you will win and you might be charged for the court costs if you bring a frivolous lawsuit. But that's your choice.

maximum nightclubs are inner maximum and reserve the ultimate suited to refuse service to every physique for any reason. All a bouncer or a bartender has to declare is you have been inflicting hassle, you seemed to be intoxicated, or you probably did no longer meet the gown code. individual B would desire to sue individual A for something (if individual B can discover the money for a felony expert) winning the case is amazingly yet another difficulty. If if individual B would desire to win the case and not get it thrown out as a frivolous lawsuit, I wager he or she would have spent greater effective than he or she gained.

Most businesses have the right to refuse service to any person for any reason. The reason does not have to be a good one either.
You don't have a "right" to be admitted.
