A bar owner<\/a> is facing backlash online after posting a video mocking a customer who accused him of “discrimination” for banning solo drinkers from entering his bar late at night, a policy that has now turned into an international argument.<\/p>\n

Carl Peters, owner of Alibi, a cocktail and karaoke bar in Altrincham, England, said in an Instagram video earlier this month that he has enforced a “no single entry after 9 p.m.” rule since opening in 2022, according to reports.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his initial video, which garnered over 10,000 views on Instagram, Peters described a late-night encounter outside the bar in which a man pointed to the “No Single Entry” sign and accused him of discrimination, comparing the rule to banning Black or Asian patrons.<\/p>\n

Peters recounted telling the customer, “Don\u2019t bring your woke agenda here,” adding that he knew the remark would “annoy him more than anything else.”<\/p>\n

The customer exploded, according to Peters, insisting he wasn\u2019t “woke.” Peters doubled down and asked if the man needed an adult to explain why late-night venues have entry rules.<\/p>\n

Peters has maintained that his door policy is about liability.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up video<\/a> that also received over 10,000 views, he said that if a lone customer has a medical emergency, such as a fall or a seizure, staff may not notice quickly in a packed environment, and that solo patrons sometimes “mither,” or bother, groups because they have no one to talk to.<\/p>\n

“Unless you’re with a group, and we know who you’re with, you’re not coming in,” he said.<\/p>\n

After the first video, commenters blasted the policy, calling it “pathetic” and “narrow-minded,” the New York Post reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Some people argued that they work late and often go out alone after without causing problems. Others said the rule unfairly targets introverts or people who simply enjoy having a quiet pint by themselves.<\/p>\n

But women and other patrons argued that the rule makes sense. “As a mum of 2 young adult daughters, I welcome your policy,” one woman commented, adding, “Safety in numbers.”<\/p>\n

As the backlash snowballed and international news outlets picked up the story,<\/a> Peters explained in the follow-up video trying to “draw a line under it,” calling the entire situation “a total non-story.”<\/p>\n

He insisted the rule applies only during peak nightclub hours<\/a> and that single customers are welcome earlier in the evening. “This is standard procedure in nightlife,” he said. “We\u2019re not reinventing the wheel. It\u2019s, to me, noncontroversial.”<\/p>\n

He also took another swipe at critics, thanking the “keyboard warriors in their curry-stained vests” for their newly minted expertise.<\/p>\n

“I’m astounded and kind of interested in the public interest in it,” he said. “Twenty-four hours ago, who had an opinion on whether a bar should let people in on their own or not in late night spaces?”<\/p>\n

In an email to Fox News Digital, Peters maintained that the issue is a “non-story.” “We will maintain our safe and responsible approach to running our venue and business,” he said. “Like we always have.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
