Jillians dress code?

Jillians dress code?
We took a friend from out of town into Boston last night, and descided to do a little bowling at Jillians (lucky strike bowling I think). Any ways, it's a tuesday night and the place is empty. We get to the door, and the bouncer says to my friend "are those boots? sorry man, can't let you in"
I'm like, wtf? We are going bowling....you know....the sport where you take off your shoes and put on bowling shoes? And seriously...it's tuesday!
We just went in through tequila rain and walked upstairs Later on they came by and asked my same friend to take off his hat.... ok, I've been going to Jillians for a while, but whats up with the strict enforcement?

Whats happening is the bouncers are taking safety precautions. They say to remove hats because most gangs in Boston are named after sports teams (ie: Orchard Park Trailblazers, Heath St is known as the Heat, Greenwood St Packers, Franklin Hill Giants and so on) So they don't want to risk any gang activity in the establishment. As for the boots everytime there would be a fight in Jillians someone would end up getting stomped so they banned double soled Timberlands, Doc Martins and any other shoe with a thick sole.

I actually grew up in the "L". I kind of know a lot of people from everywhere. What part of Boston are you from KillerLex?

Boston was a mess back then. Every club night something bad would go down. From people getting mugged to people being stabbed and shot. The crime rate in that area which is known as the Back Bay/Fens (Fenway) was crazy. Also because of the club environment there was a lot of drug dealing. When extacy was introduced the club scene really got bad.

When I lived in roxbury, my neighbor once threw his mother out a window (two stories up), and when she managed to hold on he then shot her.
F'ing happened 100 feet from where I slept, I became a witness even though I didn't see anything. Not to be gross, but I learned something else...the fire department is responsible for 'cleaning up'....they more or less hosed off the building
I moved out very soon after that....I've played soccer in dorchester, and I bet that is worse. Closest I lived to malden was medford, and it wasn't great..but wasn't too bad

What I SAID, was if you're not from Boston and don't chill in Boston all the time and know the people here, then you don't know the kind of **** that happens that doesn't make the news. Lansdowne was bad...REALLY bad, and if you don't agree then you must have been blind.

What's wrong with Roxbury ...j/k But all jokes aside Chef Roxbury is right next door to the club scene. It's funny if, you look at where NorthEastern University is on the Huntington Ave side along with the Museum of Fine Arts and Wentworth Institute you will probally think "wow this is safe and civilized....not because if you walk to Ruggles Station or Mass Ave Station, which is not even a 1/4 mile you are right in the "hood".
