katyjay 5,091 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Many years ago, we were escorting a group of American friends around the U.K. We did a night in Nottingham and took them on a pub crawl. Got to Yates and we girls went sailing in, looked round and no husbands. Went back to the door to find a heated argument with the bouncer. 2 of our group were husband and wife sheriff deputies. Both wearing dressy jeans. They were refused entry because it was (just) after 7pm. No jeans after 7. I pointed out that there were lots of folks in there wearing jeans, and was told, they came in before 7. What a bloody stupid rule. Either let everyone in or chuck out everyone out, wearing jeans. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yates's has certainly changed a lot since my days in Nottingham. The downstairs bar used to be a place for old soaks and rabble, the upstairs gallery for a more classy clientele wanting to be entertained by the Talbot Trio and to watch the fights and disturbances on the ground floor. What's happened to Yates's White Port? Draught sherry? Draught 'Champagne'? Or is it now a posh wine bar with negative character and charm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
