A 24-year-old male hairdresser has disclosed he was refused entry at a pub when he showed up wearing a glitzy silver sequin minidress and black thigh-high stiletto boots.
Adam Murphy, who claimed a bouncer at a Slug and Lettuce pub, wouldn’t let him enter with his friends said the bouncer stopped him because its policy doesn’t allow “men wearing dresses” inside.
He told the Manchester Evening News he asked to speak to a manager, but was told that she was busy, so he and Thomas moved on to a different pub where staff had no problem with his sparkly dress and boots.
A spokeswoman for the pub chain said the doorman is no longer employed and the company doesn’t have such a policy
Adam said he and Thomas tried to enter the Slug and Lettuce pub on Deansgate, in Manchester, at about 7pm last Saturday.
He added;
“The doorman stopped me and my friend and said ‘you’re not coming in in that dress’.
“I was like, ‘are you being serious?’ He said yes and when I asked why, he told me that it was policy that men cannot come into the pub in a dress.
“I asked to speak to a manager, but he said that she was busy. I was embarrassed and it made me feel horrible. You don’t expect anything like this to happen in Manchester.”
