Tenn Bar Bans Urban Wear

from WSMV Nashville TV 4


It's nothing new to establish a dress codes at bars or restaurants, but what if someone said you couldn't wear your favorite outfit -- because of the name brand? That happened at On The Rocks, a bar near Music Row in Nashville, Tenn., and some think it has gone too far. The bar is a popular hangout , but the new dress policy has caused some to question the bar’s motive.


The bar recently displayed a dress code that stated: No Baggy Clothes. No Chains. No Sunglasses. No Grills. The code also prohibits certain clothing labels: Southpole, ECKO, ENYCE, Sean Jean, Phat Farm, FUBU, ETC.


The owner of On The Rocks would not comment on why those specific labels were banned. One shopowner who sells some of those brands said that one reason for the ban may be because some of the clothes are associated with gang members.
