Irish pub in Birmingham bans “manbags” in new dress code

They know what they want in this bar…

It’s quite common these days that pubs have a dress code on Saturday nights, and The Kerryman over in Birmingham is no different.

The pub has introduced a host of new changes to their weekend dress code in the last week with one of them being the banning of “manbags” from their premises.

Do these people not understand fashion?

Brought to our attention by The Irish Post, they revealed that the pub did it in an effort to improve the dress code of their customers.

“We put up the sign as we don’t want to portray a certain image in the pub,” a spokeswoman for the pub said.

The dress code also forbids caps, hoods, tracksuits or tracksuit bottoms from the pub. These rules will only be enforced on Friday and Saturday nights.

We understand the banning of manbags, but we’ll still be able to bring in our satchel, right? Indiana Jones wears one…
