Trekkies Welcome on the West Side

It's been a tough stretch for our readers at the Beatrice Inn. Late last night, we received the following:

Just got back from a failed attempt to hit the Beatrice Inn for the first time. There was no line, there were no outside smokers, just a small door man(SDM) with a bad haircut and a bouncer type. It looked easy enough. When my friend and I approached, the following happened.

SDM: Which party are you with?
Me: Actually, we aren't with a party.
SDM: Sorry, can't do it.
Me: Can't do what?
SDM: Let you in.
SDM (looking down): And you are wearing flip flops. That goes against our dress code.
Me: What's the dress code?
SDM: No flip flops.
Me: Well, ok, what if I had a Star Trek symbol on my shirt right here, would that help?
SDM: Maybe.

We walked away after that. What a douche.

Ouch. That is a terrible experience. One bad evening can be random, two in one week reeks of a pattern. Love the Star Trek comeback though. Definitely some weekend food for thought.

flip-flop restrictions are somewhat reasonable - though clearly this place is for D-bags.

this bloger is the real douche bag- what a joke he shows up at the most exclusive club in ny in sandles. The door man may have a bad haor cut but this blogger will always be a friggin loser

DBTH seems to be a blog dedicated to various incidents and pictures of the Beatrice Inn

Fantastic, now the flip flop wearing, I have no idea what a dress code at a hot (if stuck up) NY bar could be, star trek quoting, door man hating douchebags are hitting the Beatrice.

And I thought us hipsters were bad enough.
