I like them, I know it sounds harsh but a club / bar / pub is an adult venue and you'll see what I mean when you are old enough :)

I don't mind 18+... but so many around me are 21+ because of the alcohol. Sucks.

Dunno, been to nights here (blighty) which have been 25+ and the atmosphere has been completely different. Truth be told I found it too stuffy and elite.

I know what you mean, but I'm 16 and I know what's up.

Yeah, they ought to have a test you need to pass to get into bars... dudes like yong and the like would obviously be able to pass. :)

You can usually get in if you're at least 18, even if it's a 21+ thing, as long as you have some kind of ID or some shit.

Am sure you are, mate. But you are a minor - the venue is responsible for your welfare beyond that of someone who is legally an adult.

FWIW it's far harder now to get into places now than when I was underage. People didn't really give a shit when I was 15 / 16 as long as you behaved and didn't get lashed. Now they're really strict and I get asked for ID more times at the age I am now than I ever did when I was a minor :o

if you have any older siblings or know older people just use their i.d. bouncers rarely scrutinise pictures too much

This isn't even about getting in, this is about PERFORMING. I had the guest spot (headliner) at a night on the 30th.
