I'd like to send out a big F#*k You!! to The Regatta Hotel.
Last night there were 9 of us guys out on the town celebrating Jye's bucks night. It was only early and all was going just fine until we reach The Regatta Hotel. The places we had been to before hand were somewhat ordinary, so we were keen to The Regatta for some decent beer. This had been one of my favourite places, until now.
We walked in ordered some beer and hot food, and sat down out of the way in the outdoor section to enjoy some beers and chat. I hadn't met some of the guys until tonight, but I think it was fairly safe to say that it was going to be a fairly mellow night, and so far it had been.
5 mins into the first beer, some employee (looked like the floor/bar manager) came over and asks us to leave because they don't allow bucks groups in, despite not having a bouncer at the door, nor advertising the fact on the door entry conditions (jeez, I wonder why). Not to cause a fuss we told him that we would finish our drinks then leave. He then walked away.
Following that we had a security staff visit us twice to hurry us on. We found out from 'Mr Security' that they had an incident with a bucks party which ended in a mass brawl with security. I so wish my recorded audio I took of Mr Securities speal come out, but there was too much background noise. :angry:
So what it boiled down to was that we were being discriminated against for past bucks party incidents and The Regatta Hotel's pre-conception of what they thought we were going to be like. Kinda like the movie The Minority Report.
I will be writing a formal complaint to the management too about their discrimination.
So once again a very big F#*k You!! to The Regatta Hotel, you bunch of ass-hats. You have lost my future business.
On a lighter note read on for my very positive review of the place we moved onto next, The Coro.
