These are always fun. Have you ever been kicked out of somewhere? Where and why? Did you deserve it?

I've never been kicked out of anywhere, per se, but one time I was not allowed to go see a show because I was too drunk to enter the bar. I stumbled against the wall on the way in and the door guy wouldn't take my money. This was at Valentine's in Albany. He said "I can't let you in here, man." I said, "Why?! I come here all the time!" He said, "Yeah, but you're too drunk to be in here now." I said "What?!" He said "Yeah, sorry." I had no ability to argue with him and was shocked and embarrassed, so I just left.

On the (very short) walk home, as I stumbled along, I realied he was right. I was FAR too trashed to be in a bar. I could barely walk.

I blame my brother, who had worked a wine tasting earlier in the day and brought home a case of half-filled bottles of VERY good wines, which we enjoyed before we went out. I had fallen behind the crew heading to the show so nobody knew what happened to me.

That door guy was good.

Ok, your turn.

I got kicked out of the China Club in NYC before I ever got inside because i refused to stand up against the wall on an empty sidewalk per the bouncers orders. He tried to order me against the wall so i did the face the wall and spread them and he told me I couldn't go inside.



What a let down that was....

[Feck]

the closest i ever came to being thorwn out was after a dinner at the Gramery Park Tavern.
We had gotten so loud they closed the curtain between the tabels (us) and the bar.
We had been playing biz buzz with Port and by the second bottle one of the other guests in our group kept messing up and screaming FUCK. The check came, the table cloth was removed, so i figured it was time to go.

well that and last year at the VIP tent

I got kicked out of the Whiskey in Hollywood, just like Jim Morrison.

Caught the Black Crowes there during their heyday, 96 I think it was. Packed GA show. The show ends, the house lights go on, and everyone starts filing out.

Then I see my wife and one of my friends heading upstairs instead of out so I try and follow.

Well the bouncers didn't dig, and really didn't dig my warped attitude at that point so they physically pushed me out. No problem, whatever...but it gets better.

Another buddy sees me outside and comes out to get me. When he finds out that they won't let either of us back in, he freaks, does not back down to the thugs and after they physically remove him, he comes running back and trys to karate kick in the door.

Needless to say he and I were tossed around a bit by a whole bunch of goons. Could have been worse, could have been better.

Oh, and my wife and other friend, they come out an hour later after hanging inside doing shots with Chris Robinson.

I got kicked out of a bar in the West Village (next to the mcDonalds that is right near the 7th or 8th avenue basketball court) for lighting up inside the bar.

We were sitting at a table. Everyone at the table said it was ok.

Within 2 minutes someone came over and asked us to leave.

'doh!

Ralphs (on Washington Park).... playing the juke box all night, dancing and drinking all night.... i drop a glass. oops. i decide to try to pick it up however, i am clearly not doing a great job - bartender tells me and my group to hit the road, we offer to pay for the glass (which was a comp beer glass anyway) upward of 20 bucks... no love. i am told that women shouldn't be dancing in bars to jukeboxs in albany, hahahahaha. the only embarrassing part... i was with my 'mother in law', who was also drunk and dancing and when she heard that women shouldn't dance in bars... EEEEEEK.... chaos. needless to say, we drank like fish the rest of the night at home and i didnt go back to ralphs for 3 years.

I got kicked out of Shae Stadium (it's last season) for lighting up a cigarette a foot...literally, a foot inside the gate exit where the smoking area was.

I told the asshole that being a dick now won't guarantee him a job at the new Citifiled...and then he called the cops on me.

they laughed and rolled their eyes at the dickhead...but still wouldn't let me back in

My buddy and I went to Game 2 of the 1st round NHL playoffs of the Bruins against Montreal in 2011. After the game we went to a bar around the corner from the Garden to have a couple more while we waited for our train. After we ordered our second beer I excused myself to go the bathroom. When I got back less than five minutes later, they were in the process of kicking my buddy out. I asked what's going on and was only told that I had to leave as well (seriously, I hadn't done anything wrong and was not overserved at that point). Not getting a full explanation from the bartender and bouncer as to why we're being kicked out, having a full beer that I had only taken a fews sips out of, and being frustrated by the entire situation, I tossed my beer at the bartender (literally) and started walking out. The boucer caught up to me, grabbed me by the neck from behind with both hands and shoved me through the rest of the bar that way, opening the door with my face.

To this day I still have no idea why we were being tossed out. I'm thinking my buddy said something inappropriate to the wrong person.

Not my proudest moment, but at least a memorable one.

A friend and I were escorted from the US Capitol building. This was in the 80s when there was less idiotic paranoia or we probably would have been arrested and put on the news for being terrorists. We simply sneaked past the velvet ropes they used to corral visitors to certain areas and keep them out of others. Before we knew it we were walking down the halls where the congressmans' offices were and then to other places I have no idea about. We were confronted by a guard who asked us to freeze and get against the wall, which we did. They frisked us and put us in an elevator to a basement room. They questioned us and after a threat to be "locked in the Capitol basement jail" we were let go with a warning to stay out of the building. Oddly, I've never been back.

i got kicked out of a club in miami once. not sure exactly how it started, but i remember complaining about the bouncers being dicks. one of them overheard what i said & felt the need to get in my face about it. we exchanged a few words & in all dickish fashion he tried to pull my drink from my hand & grab my arm. i tossed the drink & when he tried to toss me, one of the people i was w/ lunged at him & well, that was the end of that night

Circa 1990, in a bar in Baltimore:

TtB came out of a blackout, looking over his raised middle finger at the barmaid who yelled, "That's it, you're out of here!"

Finger alone woulda been sufficient reason to show me the door, but I've long been curious what led up to it - "That's it" suggests prior poor behavior.

It's good that TtB quit drinkin' a couple of years after that. Prolly been better if he'd done it sooner, prolly, but good all the same...

I was in Clancy's Bar & Grill on 3rd Avenue in NYC. The cable box was just within reach, so I reached over the bar and changed the TV from the Yankees to the Mets. The bartender on that end pointed to the door and screamed, "GET OUT! GET OUT!" in a thick Irish brogue.

I got kicked out of a place called Bleu Martini on 4th Street in Philadelphia back in college, kind of a preppy/yuppie striped shirt sort of establishment... actually it was on the night I graduated. It was my last guaranteed night in town and I didn't have any friends who were still in town to celebrate with. So I decided to sort of bar hop to a couple places.

This was the 2nd place of the night, I probably had 2 or 3 at the previous place, so when I wandered into this one I already had a bit of a buzz. Well I had a couple more at least while I was at the new place, and because the place wasn't really set up for wheelchairs the tables were really close together. So as I wandered around the place I kept knocking into tables with my wheelchair. I guess I wasn't in a very alert state of mind, and did not realize that it was a restaurant/bar, so I couldn't really confine myself to the bar because it was so narrow and I guess I was bothering restaurant patrons and didn't even realize it

So I go back to the bar to order another drink and they serve me, I drink it down super fast and start wandering around again. All the sudden I'm talking to someone and I feel a tap on my shoulder, turn around and it's a cop. Telling me the owners have asked I leave the establishment, I go outside with the cop because I couldn't really hear him and asked why couldn't they tell me themselves. I told him I'm really not that intoxicated and he said that he didn't know why they asked me to leave but that they did. I kind of went off a bit about discrimination etc. etc., but in truth I really was way to plastered to be in there

As I was leaving I realized the bartender still had my credit card and I had the cop go and get it for me. I checked my bank account the next morning and there were no charges from that bar, so I may have gotten kicked out, but I also got all 4 drinks I had that night there for free

I got thrown out of a bar in Sydney Australia for being there for 12 hours. I had gotten up that day and gone to look for some work at a backpacker job agency. Around 9 AM we realized we were not going to find any work that day so we headed to Scruffy Murphy's one of our favorite establishments. Cut to 12 hours and a lot of money spent, a bouncer approaches us at our table and says he is sure we have had enough to drink as the shift has changed twice since we had been there and asked us to leave. Man I loved Australia I was drunk for 4 months straight. :lpimp:

[deadheadskier]

Got kicked out of moe. 12/30/2010 at the HOB for

Bouncer, "Yeah right you don't, I just caught you."
Me, "No you didn't"
Bouncer, "yes, I did,"
Me, "no you didn't, I do do droogs"
Bouncer, (head tilted sideways like a dog who hears a funny noise) "Okay, you can go back in, but I'll be watching you."
Me, "no problem"

I got kicked off a flight once. If you have ever been to the gates of hell known as Miami International- you know that if you like long lines, lots of delays, and lots of walking- Miami International is for you! So after moving our gate three times and a 5 hour delay- we of course got shitfaced in the airport resturant- and then couldn't find the gate. And NO ONE in the airport spoke any god damn english to help us find our way. When we did finally find it I was really angry and hollering, "No one in this goddamn airport speaks any goddamn english!" ...then boarding the airbus realized the entire bus probably just came from South America. I got as far as my seat and they asked me to come with them.

I went to JWU in Providence. There are several bars that were regulars on our (me and my roomies) rotation.

We were at the College Pub one night and my roommate (who always drank way too much) was so plastered, she went to the bathroom and got sick. It was all over the place. She came out and told me what she had done. Needless to say, the bouncer, (his name was spanky!) came up to me and said, listen elise, you've got to get her out of here. Someone had seen her leave the bathroom and when they went in, it was so bad, they went and found the manager and pointed said roommate out. Spanky said to me get her out of here before the manager finds you. I grabbed her and headed for the door, but not before hearing, hey wait a minute, girls, wait!! he couldn't get to us through the crowd, so we booked it and ran into mamma's, which was another bar a few doors down and hid for a while. When i went back to the Pub the following Thursday nite, the manager came up to me and asked if i knew that girl who puked all over the bathroom. i told him i had no idea what he was talking about.

I got told I was being denied rentry to Rev Hall at a Lotus show once. Lets just say I was enjoying some balloon animals in the lot. The bouncer came over and told me to get rid of the balloon animal. When I tried to do so in the only way I know how, he said "that's it you and your stupid orange hoodie are not coming back in". Already being kicked out I went and enjoyed a few more balloon animals; took off my orange hoodie; tossed it in the car, and went back in and raged the rest of the show. After the show I realized that while changing my hoodie in that state of mind, I left my car not just unlocked but the door wide open for the entire second set. Luckily nothing had been removed from the vehicle.

one time at this music festical; i was in the VIP tent and they kept changing the rules as the day went along.
somehow i wound up with a mismatched laminate + wristand and during the course of a few hours it went from change them tomorrow to you can't be in here- leave now.

thankfully a kind person in a golfcart took me back off site for the new wristband.
clearly i was in no condition to be wondering around off site, at night, solo.

Came real close to getting thrown out of an MSG Dead show in the late 80s when I hopped the rail and got way down front, much to my delight.
Went back the next night with my brother-in-law who had never been to a show before and I was telling him how easy it is to get down front.
So I go over the rail and he goes after me, but I notice that security is on my tail.
I bobbed and weaved my way through the crowd to no avail.
They caught me and I told them I was just trying to go the easy way across the floor to my husband who was up on the other side.
They ask to see my ticket (which had me no where near where I told them my husband was) so I tell them I lost it.
Big Dude says "OK, come with me.", and I naively think he's going to take me across to my where I told them my husband was.
Big Dude puts his icky hands on my shoulders and steers me out while rubbing his hands up and down my arms, and back to a corridor that just ends at an elevator.
RUT ROH! I really don't want to get into an elevator all alone with Big Dude With The Wandering Hands, so I magically find my ticket in my back pocket.
Big Dude is not happy, reluctantly lets me go and tells me that if he sees me on the floor again I WILL be taking a ride with him in the elevator.
Totally creeped me out.

[Julius]

going to have to think about which story is the best. . . there are so many

[melissaphish]

Almost got kicked out of Pearl Jam at MSG a few years ago for smoking. Security walked me out of the section and into the hallway. I just kept walking and after a few seconds realized that there was no one behind me anymore, so I ducked into a section and made my way back to my seats.

Was actually kicked out of Showcase Live last winter for being drunk....my friends noticed security eyeballing me and told the husband, who talked them into letting him gently take me out, as I "wouldn't take it well" if security evicted me.

Does getting kicked out of here count?

No. But feel free to explain why you were, because your version is always so interesting!

A+ thread!

My best is Toads Place in Gun Wavin' New Haven, circa 1996. Gov't Mule was playing so my friend Ang and I decided to go. I was a pretty shy person that embarrassed easily before I met Ang so you all have him to thank for my angelic behavior.

We headed to the door where we were greeted with the BIGGEST bouncer EVAH and he asks us for id and the $. I don't think Ang ever had id in his life and he already informed me that we were absolutely not paying to get in. He took one look at the Hulk of a bouncer and said "go back stage and tell <so and so> that <so and so> is here." Used a name I never heard. The bouncer asks for the $ again and Ang repeats himself with a polite F word in the request. The Hulk actually disappears and comes back a few minutes later to tell us we were in. Asks Ang "who the f are you?" and Ang says "I'm goddamn Superman, that's who" and we head to the bar. Clearly we were on the bouncer's good side by that point. We started drinking gin and tonics and get rather rambunctious for a fair amount of time, definitely making friends... NOT! That's when we noticed the pool cues and figured a fencing match was a fabulous idea. So we were both smeared in pool cue chalk with surprisingly few battle scars and that is when the Hulk decided he'd had enough of our shenanigans.

We were escorted to the door, protesting the whole way and the Hulk tells me that I can stay because he thinks I'd behave better without my friend. WRONG! So, I was asked to leave shortly after. Good show from what I remember.

[Dr. StrangeHat]

After the show I realized that while changing my hoodie in that state of mind, I left my car not just unlocked but the door wide open for the entire second set. Luckily nothing had been removed from the vehicle.

I actually left my keys sitting on the hood on my truck once at Rev Hall...I couldn't believe they were still there after the show

I'm guessing Troy isn't as bad of a shit hole as everyone makes it out to be

[B. Diddy]

No, it is. You just got lucky.

That part of Troy where Rev Hall was is ok, but go a few blocks in any direction and yikes.

[concert andy]

After work one day a bunch of co workers went to McSorley in the east village. One of the guys got a little to drunk and puked all over the floor next to our table. Not even 2 minutes, someone came over and told us we had to leave.
