For those who were asking for more detail on the Paul Vickers issue, here it is:
Anyone who has been to Cowboys, the drink/tantra, coyotes etc will notice a real lack of colour in the places. Being a white guy myself, I never have troubles getting in, but once inside its a fricken whiteout. There seems to be a couple scattered token minorities, but its deffinately not a representative population in there. Its not just because of the cowboy hick music either, as I've seen many minorities in line that can't get in (unless they are with about 10 white friends, then they stand a chance). The bouncers will say either they don't meet the dress code, or that its 25 and over that night (as they let in a bunch of 16 year old girls that went straight to the front of the line) or ask them for 8 pieces of government issued photo ID.
I really don't care if its Vickers' personal decision or not, all of his establishments employ these policies, so I don't go to them. When you start to throw in the alleged biker gang links (including a shooting of a biker gang member outside of one of his clubs a while back) and I want to stay even further away. My money doesn't go to criminals or racists.
EDIT: P.S. I heard the chophouse sucks too
