Stag entries and blaring music

We were eight of us- college friends, and had a sweet plan of talking about old things over a couple of mugs of beer. And guess what happened, we were denied entry in two known to be “decent” places in Metropolitan Mall (Gurgaon) – Buzz and Europa Lounge. Reason – No stag entry allowed. I felt bad because of two reasons – first how can these stupid bar people turn away sweet people like us and second because I think they lost all the business sense in the world. May be allowing stags to enter their places would have caused problems, but then we guys just wanted a place to sit and talk and of course pay them for the liquids we consume there. Finally we settled down for Rhodeos, another of those stylish bars (waiters dress like cowboys here). But these cowboys were another set of impractical businessmen. While they had come up with a place mainly to serve mature social drinkers and also families, they forgot to adjust the volume of their music to allow people comfortably exchange words over a drink. Blaring music didn’t allow us to talk conveniently. So much so, that towards the end, we didn’t feel like finishing our beer because we couldn’t tolerate the music. (Needless to say, we did request them to lower the music, but I think they had already become “deaf headed” by their own music).
