A Woman Claims A Nashville Bar Denied Her Entry For An Outfit & People Are Calling Out Dress Codes

One of the top entertainment destinations for tourists visiting Nashville, TN is the spread of lively bars located downtown along Broadway Street. However, some visitors say they’re running into a peculiar issue where establishments are presumably instilling dress codes.

TikTok user @gainz_n_bubblebraidz recently shared in a viral video that, in September, she tried visiting a bar located in the downtown area and was denied access because of "[her] outfit." The bar's employee rationalized that the decision was made because they didn’t feel like stopping fights between men fawning over her appearance.

The woman was dressed in a sheer pink two-piece outfit partnered with white cowboy boots and, she claims, only got as far as showing her ID at the bar entrance.

"I'm so sorry. You look so beautiful, but we're not allowing you in here," the bouncer supposedly told the TikTok user.

It's not specified what bar the woman visited, but her experience prompted other Broadway Street bar-goers in the comment section to share their own stories about being denied entry due to the things they were wearing.

"My bf wasn’t allowed in a bar in Nashville because he wasn’t wearing a belt💀," one user commented, also not stating what establishment this took place at.

Other users shared what got them turned away, things like black shorts that appeared to a worker as "basketball shorts" or a simple dress shirt with khaki joggers.

Another person even said there was a woman who gained entry despite wearing a "Target onesie."

"It’s a new thing on broadway," a Nashville influencer commented. "Some bars have dress codes they won’t even let guys in with a cut off tshirt anymore."
