Talking about human rights is super excessive. Why would you want to drink somewhere they don't want you? It's probably because 18 - 20 year old kids deter the clientele they want to attract.

 

Drink somewhere else. 

 

 

 

 

It's about the bar's atmosphere that dictates behaviour and clientele of the bar. If you offer cheap drinks and have "younger"/"pop" themes, younger people will come. if you make things more expensive and theme it around a more classic style bar then older people will come.

 

Illegally discriminating seems "super excessive".

 

I wonder sometimes if these places do the R21/R25 thing as a marketing 'gimmick'?

So, advertise at the door etc that you are R21/25 - you will attract a clientele that doesn't want to party with the 18-20's. I'd say if you rocked up looking 'mature' you probably wouldn't get turned away (though, they will probably card anyone who looks under 25 anyway).
