Would You Go to a Bar in Texas Where the Minimum Age to Get in is 30?

(Tyler, Texas) - I remember my younger days going out on a Friday or Saturday night. We had a lot of fun but didn't cause any real issues except for getting kicked out of my apartment pool (but that's a story for another day). We were there to have a good time and that was it.

We did, however, see some instances of other people taking that fun night too far and actually causing a problem. It could've been someone looked at their lady wrong. It could've been a long running beef that boiled over. It didn't turn out pretty for anyone or for the establishment we were at.

An Ohio Bar Had to Change Their Age of Entry Policy

Donerick's Pub in Groveport, Ohio seems like it could be a fun place to go on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm only making an assumption based on the numerous comments on their Facebook post. It seems lots of young people do enjoy the pub and are disappointed in the decision the pub felt had no choice but to make.

No specific reason was given but this all may have stemmed from a fight that broke out at the pub. As someone who worked in the bar industry for several years, all it takes is a hot head or two with too much liquor in them to start a brouhaha. Because of whatever incident, or other reason, Donerick's Pub will only allow those over the age of 30 in the pub on Friday and Saturday nights.

Comments From the Public and Patrons

The comment section is full of reasons for the change and suggestions on what should be done instead of this. Some believe the music choices of the DJ may have had something to do with whatever caused this change. Some think a simple dress code change could be the answer.

Personally, if a bar that I enjoyed in my younger days stopped letting me in because I was under 30, I would be bummed. If it was a fight that caused the age change, I wouldn't be mad at the bar, I would be mad at the idiots who started the fight. As an almost 50-year-old now, I would probably enjoy the change.

But Would You Want a Bar Like This in East Texas?

That's a good question. There have been bars that have opened that don't serve alcohol. Their drink menu consists of virgin forms of popular drinks. Why not open a bar where the age group is a little older? What say you? If the bar was for 30 and up only, would you go?
