Browns Cafe Bar, Coventry

I got into this pub for the first time in my 21 year history the other day. It had been my lifetime ambition to get into Browns after having been turned away a few times in the past for reasons that the doorman wasnt willing to share with me.
So i got in...BUT...and there is a but.

I was with my friend, who gets in regularly, so after he had pretty much dressed me, as he had to approve all the clothes i wore so as to give the doorman as little excuse to turn me away as possible, we went straight in, the doorman wasnt at the door, but stood at the bar. He saw us and came bounding toward us with a look of mayhem on his angry little face, he then noticed my friend and changed his mind and let us be. However after that, i never felt comfortable and was weary of ordering an alcoholic drink incase that prompted the doorman to chuck me out for being a p*sshead.
Im of the opinion that People shouldnt have the right to make others feel that uncomfortable when all you are doing is coming into their establishment for a drink and a chat with your mates. If Browns insist upon turning away more people than they are gonna let in, they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Also if any of you want to know what you need to look like to get in there, it is thus:-

YOU NEED TO LOOK LIKE A STUDENT: i.e you need to look like you need a good wash, a shave and a haircut, holding some sort of bag also helps and wearing baggy clothes that dont fit properly and that most other places would turn you away if you were wearing them. So now you know.
