Beating the Bouncers

I%26#39;ve been on various NYC club/bar websites and every one talks about %26#39;strict door policies%26#39;. What does this mean, and how do you get in anywhere?

It sound like if they don%26#39;t like the look of you, you%26#39;re not getting in even if you%26#39;re well dressed and polite...any tips anyone?

Beating the Bouncers

I forgot to mention that i am male and from the UK. I%26#39;m going to NYC with a friend in March. I have looked on various websites and they say that the dress code is %26#39;fashion statements%26#39; or %26#39;dress to impress%26#39;. I%26#39;m pretty sure that fashion over here is different to over there and we dont want to be turned down/stand out, so can someone please help?

If you are males, it means ';bring good-looking, well-dressed women with you.';

Are you free?

Are you paying?

LOL! Thanks for invite, but sorry, not available! :o)

Good luck to you and please let us know how it works out.

Shame!

Queensboulvard: i have posted in the brooklyn forum hoping that you%26#39;d see it because I thought you may be able to help...Would you mind taking a look?

I think these places are looking for pretty/stylish people. So a pair of high end jeans, nice shirt or sweater (depending on weather) with a sports jacket and nice leather shoes ought to do the trick. If not count yourself lucky for not spending the evening with a bunch of superficial bores.

aalindo - if you%26#39;re dong the pub crawl in Park Slope, you can def go casual. Jeans, t-shirts, even sneakers/trainers are OK. Those places are all very mellow local bars, not dance clubs.

Williamsburg is more trendy. That was the first neighborhood to show off ';trucker hats';, the resurgence of skinny black jeans, tiny round buttons/badges, graffiti-tagged sneakers, etc.
