Bites Hip East Nashville Bar Contemplates Hat-Only Policy for Men
Posted by Lee Stabert on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 6:06 AM
A certain East Nashville hot-spot is pondering changes to its dress code in order to better control the atmosphere and improve the aesthetics of its clientele.
A bartender, who spoke under condition of anonymity (the details are still being finalized) said the new policy will help cultivate the "hipster vibe" the proprieters are going for. "Men should wear hats--page boy, ironic trucker, skull cap, fedora--in order to cover up their too-busy-jamming-with-my-band-and-smoking-pot-to-shower hair," said the employee. "White baseball caps are strictly prohibited. We're not trying to be sticklers here; exceptions will be made. Prominent eyewear--old lady glasses, Buddy Holly glasses, glasses with no glass--can take the place of a hat. One of those keffiyeh scarves will also do in a pinch."
In addition, the bar will discontinue the sale of corporate American beers (with the exception of 16 oz. cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Miller High Life) and anyone ordering a Bud Lite or a Coors will be asked to leave the premises immediately. "We can't have dudes in collared shirts sitting at the bar all night drinking Miller Lite," the owner added. "It's just not fair to our employees who put a lot of time and effort into cultivating their looks. When their friends from Brooklyn come to town to visit, they need to feel comfortable."

You scared me for a bit. Thought you meant hats, and nothing but the hats. Not all our boys are all that pretty.
