Cursing and hitting on women might seem like standard barroom behavior. But not at the Hell's Kitchen watering hole Siberia, where a sign warns against both activities.
"Part of the reason is that women don't like when men curse," says owner Tracy Westmoreland. "People who can't stop cursing when they're told to are either drunks, morons or meatheads, and those are not the kinds of people I want at my bar."
There's also an unspoken rule about not wearing anything with the word Boston on it. "There are too many meatheads from Boston," he explains.
gonna have to pick up the paper version to see my pic.

My fave East Dallas bar and former workplace bans cursing. Yes I've warned people, as bartender and customer. And yes I've witnessed people being kicked out. Despite being on a nightlife hotspot not far from a university here our bar remains low-key and unpolluted by young,drunken assholes partly b/c of codes like this.

there's also a great little dive in my soon-to-be-again hometown of Austin called Ginny's Little Longhorn which warns customers: No Cussin' No Fussin' No Hasslin' No Wrasslin'

This sounds like the kind of place that blares Counting Crowes through the speakers 24 hours a day. In fact, I'm just imagining the neo hippies from PCU chasing David Spade out of the bar.

In fact I wish more bars turned their personaility quirks into actual rules: no patrons with jeans costing less than $100 allowed; girly drink-drinkers prohibited; luxury cars not allowed in parking lot, etc. Would save a lot of people wasted time/drinks in bars they find unappealling.
Obv. this kind of thing can and does lead to problems like racism but then you can always count on people somewhere to be just plain idiots

ah xpost.
I don't know of any pg-13 bars myself. I think the whole, over 21, alcoholic beverages etc. thing kind of precludes that. Where was it said that vulgar language be required to be R-rated? Seems like more of an issue of having a bit of class to me.

Eddie Murphy Raw has no sex nor violence. Blame Jack "Former LBJ Speechwriter" Valenti.

adult situations/topics? no cursing is required for this.
Sexual acts in a bar is completely out of control. Fighting is out of line too. I've never seen a sex act in any of the bars I call home and anytime there's been a brawl those people have usually been barred for life.
yes the rules are probably applied arbitrialy in some cases to, like others have said, keep out a certain element.
This is making me think of an argument currently going on among Austin folx re: smoking bans in bars. I used to be against this but my mind has changed over the years and I'm definitely voting yes.

Actually, Ned, I saw a guy get a blowjob whilst sitting on the curb right in front of the door. That same night, a guy got pushed through the glass window by the couch in a fight. I hadn't noticed the dress code until then so I always assumed they were connected.
Hahaha. "No shorts, no sandals, no blowjobs on the curb." Who knew Kitsch had it in it?
As to yet more capricious policies of admittance, I say that they ought to make you take communion when you come in and confessional when you leave.
Hmmm...I could be in charge of the wine.

Again, I would have no problem with this if it was my idea. The underlying subtext is that I am suspicious when people say "All are welcome except for (x)" because, unless I'm the one saying it, I have no guarantee that the criteria aren't going to be expanded to exclude me & those I care about.

Dude! But the thing is, unless you have Tourette's Syndrome and cannot control the things that come out of your mouth at all, this isn't a discriminatory door policy.
I've physically been in Siberia with someone wearing a Red Sox t-shirt so I'm pretty sure that unspoken no-Boston rule mentioned in the article is a joke, if that's what you're referring to...
