Just serve bland food and you won't need the rule.

I’d rather have a restaurant that catered to a certain decade of births. Perhaps a restaurant called, “80’s babies”, and then decorate it in pop culture pieces from the 90’s and 2000’s. Decorate it with pieces from movies that were released in the 90’s and 2000’s. Place memorabilia from bands and musicians that played during those years. Put up posters from popular TV shows. I would have areas of the restaurant dedicated to certain trends and styles. For example, one area could be for the pop fans of the late 90’s, another could be for the rock scene fans of the early 2000’s, …etc. Another area could be a bar that has the most memorable baseball, football, soccer, or other games from those years, being replayed on a big screen. Another area could be an eating area where guests can watch famous news and political clips from those years. Something similar to Reeling in the Years could be playing on screens near their booths.

The whole place could be like a time capsule from the late 80’s to about 2010. If you want a certain age group to patronize a place, make it appeal to them specifically. That’s just my opinion. It will probably be downvoted.

This is a great idea.

I've seen plenty of places that try this concept. In the end the walls look like decade vomit, the songs are the same one-hit wonders, and the wait staff are not enjoying it one bit. If done wrong, this is less Jack Rabbit Slims and more Hard Rock.

I'd like to see this executed tastefully somehow. That said, I am no means a designer so I hope someone more talented than me could flesh this idea.

I feel the same way! I hope someone can really do it justice, too.

And he's 36... lol. Someone just had their first kid and had their accompanying testostorone dip. Now all younger men are bad!

What do uou wanna bet the wife is 30-35?

Kinda sounds like illegal discrimination given two protected classes.

Age isn't a protected class unless you're above 40

[–] tsonfeir@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

40? What is protected for 40?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Its the arbitrary number set by Congress. Its illegal in a lot of cases to discriminate against someone for being over 40 (but not under or any number under)

[–] itsnotits@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago
  • It's* the arbitrary number
  • It's* illegal in
[–] tsonfeir@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hmmm. I did not know that.

It's* very stupid.

I’m 44, guess I can’t eat there

[–] tsonfeir@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The headline of the article is bad

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How is it bad? It's in the article.

Women must be at least 30 to enter, and men must be at least 35.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it doesn't say 35+ or 30+, it's just a hard cut off. It's arguing semantics, essentially.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Do people not know what "at least" means?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

It's not in the title of this post so that's pretty irrelevant.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Restaurant says men must be 35, women must be 30 to enter: ‘We’re sticking to our code’

Do you not know what must be means?

[–] cobwoms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago

what difference do those 5 years make in terms of gender?

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No kids zones are popular in South Korea and it doesn't sound horrible honestly. https://creatrip.com/en/blog/10889

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's a difference here.

A 25 yo isn't a kid.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I'm all for it. I loathe that high pitched shriek kids make when upset or the other one they make while playing. Nails on a chalkboard.

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago

I don’t see the age restriction as too far different from senior clubs (minus the gender split; do nonbinary folks get in at 30 or 35?) so that doesn’t bother me. IDs being verified by a St Louis County officer instead of an employee of the restaurant does. Why are taxpayers of all ages footing the bill for a private business?
