Man Stopped From Entering A Bar Over His Hairstyle, Gets Told About Venue's 'No-Mullet Policy'

An Australian woman has revealed that her son was denied entry into a bar over his hairstyle as he was sporting a 'mullet'.

The woman, identified only as Karen, recently contacted Radio Perth to voice her dismay at the situation whilst also pointing out that the hairstyle isn't something to be ashamed. She went on to say that her son was actually "quite proud of the mullet".

He and his friends had visited the Cottesloe Beach Hotel in Perth, but he was turned away by door staff 每 and forced to relocate alone to a more mullet-friendly venue.

※The mullet is impressive, and he＊s quite proud of the mullet," Karen told the station. "His hair＊s got quite curly, so it＊s got quite a thickness to it. Although he did have a hat on that afternoon, so I＊m curious to know how they actually knew it was a mullet hiding under there.§

While the rest of the group were allowed in, her son 每 who had been designated driver that day 每 was turned away at the door.

Karen continued: ※The irony is that he was actually driver for the night. They went to the OBH [Ocean Beach Hotel], the line was too long, and maybe the line is not long at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel because, you know, they＊re not letting mullets in."

"They happened to get in 每 his mates were going in ahead and the bouncer just stopped him and says, ＆Sorry, mate. We＊ve got a no-mullet policy＊. And he had a chuckle and thought he was taking the mickey a little bit 每 and you don＊t have a chuckle with some bouncers. And so then he got told ＆No, actually, you＊re not welcome to come in＊. And so they all had to leave because he was driver, and so they took their business to a more inclusive venue.§

While the staff at the venue later apologised to the man and his friends, it turns out him being denied entry was a blessing in disguise. A few days later, it was revealed that an outbreak of covid cases was reported at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel - but thankfully Karen's son was happily virus-free.
