Screw Sherlocks!!

They wouldn't let a friend of mine in because he had one of those knee holes on his jeans. I have been in the f*ing place numerous times, and I see people in there w shorts on, work shirts, and just plain looking stupid. F that place.

The guys said it was an upperclass establishment. I said he was f*ing kidding, because i saw a guy in there with pajama bottoms on 3 weeks ago. They called the mgr out, and he said that if we didn't leave they were going to call the cops.

[3rdCoast]

What is it?

A Club?

Who's goes clubbin' in sandals?

[Kori Ellis]

It's just a bar/restaurant.

[TheTruth]

It's not really a club. It plays live music, has a very small dance floor, and a game room in the back. It's actually a pretty fun place, but I am boycotting them for a two months.

Ohhh dude. I love when workers get frisky with me.

I love to have those tyoes of encounters.

I wanna go there just to try and not get in to argue.

[3rdCoast]

It's just a bar/restaurant.

And they want to have some sort of a dress code?

All my jeans have the slits on both sides at the bottom, so would they scoff at me attempting to come in?

[TheTruth]

Go to the place with a hole in your jeans if you want a "situation".

I got a couple pair of jeans from AF that come with them looking torn up.

I will wear those and see what I can do.

probably not on the bottom. They said that you can't have a hole anywhere on the front of your jeans. My friend bought them at the store already ripped. That mgr was a fucking prick. The bouncer was a jackass too. If he weren't so big I would have kicked his ass.

Yeah, after we fought to let him in, I said something like "in your fvcking face fat ass" to the bouncer and he was ready throw down. Luckily Kori Ellis is famous so the manager stepped in.

I'm just wondering if 3rdcoast or GiG would have the balls to walk into a predominately black area stricken by poverty (the "ghetto") and go about using the "N" word at random intervals.

Really, would you two do it? Or is it better said on the internet or in the privacy of your own home.

Have you guys seen the movie White Boys? That “crew” in the movie is both of you guys in a nutshell.

[TheTruth]

Clubs? I do more bar hopping then clubbing. Sherlocks is usually cool, Wiseguys, Cocoa Beach. BUT if you want some real bar hopping you need to go to 6th street. Friends, Chugging Monkey, The Library, etc etc etc etc. If you ever come to TX you have to go to 6th st the night of a UT football game.

I would prefer you to ask..Can a darker pigmented fella get a table dance?

[TheWriter]

To be completely honest with you, the highschool I attended was in an all black area. People got shot there daily and ran over by cars. Incredibly poor area. I was almost jumped for my Nike Tim Duncan 2 shoes. :lmao

The lying you continue to do is completely off the walls.

[TheWriter]

GiG, what was the name of the high school you went to?

[TheTruth]

do you like San Diego or SacTown better, GiG?

I use to live near Anaheim.

Oak Park isn't an all black area. There's way more whites and mexicans there. But I'll give it to you that it's a high crime area.

[Kori Ellis]

I just looked it up. The demographics for Oak Park are 40.5% hispanic, 38.8% white, 22 % black, and 5% asian. (yes, it totals more than 100% because some people are both). But you are right, it's a very high crime area.

Sam Houston is crazy. GiG would get his ass kicked on a daily basis if he went to Sam Houston.

About five months ago I was at work and the 5 or 6 o'clock news came on and they did a story about a mom or aunt of a Sam Houston female student going into the cafeteria area of the school and strating to strip.

The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine when we tried to go in there. We saw some guy going in with a cowboy hat and flip flops, and they wouldn't let my friend in because he had a knee hole!! Also, girls were going in with ripped jeans and they said girls didn't have a dress code.

That place sucks.

Have you fuckers not heard me rant about how much I hate Sherlocks? Stay the fuck away from there.

Went to the old Dukes last weekend. Its a Hooligans now, and I could count the amount of people that were in there on my two hands. The place was dead at like 10:30. Pathetic.

Sherlock's is a pretty good time if you just hang in the game room. Play some shuffleboard, darts, or pool. BUT when you go to the main room, and they have a live band it sucks. It gets way too loud.

[SequSpur]

Jeans with holes in them are tacky.

Just an FYI.

[JoeChalupa]

Once I get a hole in my jeans I throw them out.

I guess I'm not hip to the whole torn jeans thing.

[SequSpur]

Shorts and holy jeans are two different things.

[JoeChalupa]

They're alright. Anyone over 25 shouldn't be wearing them anymore.

Well I'm way past 25 so I guess that explains it. But if memory serves me correctly I used to be into that kind of dress...of course it was in the 70's.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Fox in Austin did a report on this last week for the same thing except this guy wasn't let in because he wouldn't turn his FUBU socks over. He was told they had a ban on "urban wear".

In their defense, Fox sent in three people (white, black and Hispanic) in Phat Farm and they were let in with no problems.

[Clandestino]

the dress code shit is dumb... the places like antro and arriba are the worst... antros didn't let my brother in once bc his pants were worn on the bottom.. i then said, is that the only reason? he said, yes.. but i know he just didn't want to let him in for one of his assholeish reasons.. then i had my brother go to my car and change into an extra pair of jeans i had in there! haha.. when he came back changed in like 2 minutes, the bouncer looked all piss... it was funny...

[Clandestino]

and sherlocks...a dress code their is stupid.. all the older white dudes in hawaiin shirts should be kicked the fuck out! haha

never been to sherlocks...doesn't look like my kind of low class establishment.

[jalbre6]

I just read the Sherlock's thread, and I am absolutely floored. I'm a former manager for some Sherlock's locations in Dallas, and some of you are way off base. I'm not defending my old bosses or anything, but it's pretty apparent that plenty of you guys have never worked in a bar before.


They wouldn't let a friend of mine in because he had one of those knee holes on his jeans. I have been in the f*ing place numerous times, and I see people in there w shorts on, work shirts, and just plain looking stupid. F that place.

I don't see anywhere in your statement that you thought holey jeans were OK. Because at least last year when I was still with their company, that was a no-no. Holey jeans look tacky, man. And the people that own Hospitality USA greatly dislike them. And since they sign the paychecks, what they say, goes. Shorts, work shirts, and looking stupid (as long as they're within the dress standards) are perfectly fine with the management.


After the Spurs won the Championship in 2003, I almost got in a fight with the manager because they wouldn't let Marcus Bryant in with sandals on .. even though there was like 30 guys with sandals already in there.

Sandals (and even more especially flip-flops) have been prohibited in nightclub settings everywhere I've ever worked in the bar business. The liability is too great to allow that. If a patron steps on a broken bottle or has something drop on his foot that causes injury, you're fucked. And with the type of boisterous crowd that was in there after winning the title in '03, they probably didn't want to take any chances period, regardless of what some $5.50 an hour bouncer decided to let slide earlier.

It is much more difficult to enforce this on women, for obvious reasons.


The guys said it was an upperclass establishment. I said he was f*ing kidding, because i saw a guy in there with pajama bottoms on 3 weeks ago. They called the mgr out, and he said that if we didn't leave they were going to call the cops.

If I was working at the door, and you caused a scene and wouldn't leave, I for damn sure would call the police. I don't know you and you're cursing at me. I don't know anything about your temper, how drunk you might be, or if you're some freak with a knife looking for action. Sorry, but I'm a lot more worried about my ass and my paying customers rather than some dude that already has a pissy attitude before we start serving him drinks.

That place sucks.

For starters, if you read what I wrote above, I doubt anyone was wearing flip-flops. That's a rule in the business that's taken pretty seriously. And again, why would you even be surprised if you're denied entry becuase you have knee holes? Don't you think you're taking a chance on not getting admitted somewhere, anywhere, dressed like that? Girls do have a dress code, but women in general that have distressed clothing are wearing it to get male attention. Men that wear ripped pants look like they were begging for change in the parking lot.

One more thing. If you have a problem with the way a nightclub type establishment runs their business, and you talk about how much it sucks and go out of your way to state that to people whether it's online, at work, or whatever, you need to remember that clubs like Sherlock's don't want people like you there in the first place, and you're doing them a favor.

Because first, any publicity is good publicity. Second, people that might be interested in going to Sherlock's hear that bitchy people like some of you don't like what they do will drive people with better attitudes toward the club.

There's a old saying in the business that people that bitch about the dress code will bitch even more after they get inside. If you don't like it, go pollute some other place.

OK, I'm off the soapbox now and you folks can flame away. :lol

[samikeyp]

Whether I have worked in a bar or not is irrelevant to whether or not I like a place. I went, I didn't like it, I don't go back. Pretty cut and dry.

[jalbre6]

Whether I have worked in a bar or not is irrelevant to whether or not I like a place. I went, I didn't like it, I don't go back. Pretty cut and dry.

That's fair. There's plenty of places that I dislike for whatever reason.

What I am saying is that being pissed off about someone's dress code and causing a scene is just as dumb as going out in clothing you know might be questionable and thinking you can bullshit your way in.

There was at least 20 males (probably closer to 30) inside Sherlocks with sandals on at that exact same time. My problem is not with the rule. It's if it's a rule, then it's a rule for everyone.

By the way, I've been to every crowded bar/club in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans during Mardi Gras and Florida during Spring Break and I've never ever ever seen a sandal rule. In the summer 90% of women wear sandals.


For starters, if you read what I wrote above, I doubt anyone was wearing flip-flops.

:lmao There were a lot of people there with flip flops.

Picassos is my favorite though

Nah. I was there this past weekend, and it's still pretty packed.

Was it closed for a while? Because we had some GTG's there that were awesome but this year when we wanted to go back, a bunch of people here said it was closed down.

[batman2883]

Nah i actually play softball at ancira for one of the partial owners of those bars, they havent been closed down at all.

That sucks...that's one place I definitely would drive that far for. I liked that place a lot. :)

Well there is always room for 2006, i really really had a great time there this year. No worries about holy jeans and flip flops in that place either, you can just come as you are, with the exceptions of shorts sometimes, ive walked in there with my softball uniform which consists of shorts but thats only cause i play for them...I dont know how they normally address the dress code on shorts.

[tlongII]

I agree with Kori's post stating that rules should be enforced the same for everyone or not at all. I've been denied entrance at a club here for wearing sandals and it pissed me off.

[I. Hustle]

I too have been denied for wearing sandals!!!!



:lol no I haven't I just wanted to bring back a really old angry thread.

[Whisky Dog]

Lol, Sherlocks. I was given shit there about wearing flip flops and a ball cap when I tried to go with my buddy to the one in Arlington but then have gone back several times with my hot fiancé on my arm and they don't say shit. Gotta love it.
