Hong Kong bouncers?

Last Saturday night in a bar in Wanchai I was flirting and dancing with a girl, nothing serious. Another guy had also been dancing with the same girl at different points in the evening. I went to the toilet, finished my business turned around, and the guy was standing right behind me. He then said 'if you don't leave now I am going to kill you'. A pushing and shouting match ensued (no punches were thrown and no one got hurt). The bouncer must have heard the shouting, came in and separated us and escorted us out of the bathroom. At this point, thinking the episode was over, I went back to the bar. I then noticed the guy who'd threatened me was talking to the bouncer. The bouncer then went up to the manager and next thing I know I was told to leave. I pleaded my case and a friend of mine did as well but to no avail. I've been going out in HK for more than 10 years and never had any problems, but this episode really makes me wonder about the bar staff and management here? I assume the purpose of bouncers is to keep out people with anger management issues so that the rest of us can enjoy a drink in peace, but I have seen guys who repeatedly start fights, or grab women's private parts being allowed to stay while others get kicked out for complaining about the quality of a drink or simply not drinking enough.

Are you a regular at this bar? I used to hang out in Wanchai quite a bit and my experience was that the decision of who to throw out was mostly based on economics rather than who actually started the fight. If the guy who attacked you spends a lot of money in this place and tips well then the management are unlikely to throw him out. That's just the reality in Hong Kong.

One thing I noticed was that the biggest ar***les usually made a point of befriending the staff, particularly the managers and bouncers, giving lai see at CNY ...

I used to be a regular there but have rarely gone in the past few years. I suspect that is one reason the management was unsympathetic. I don't really make a point of befriending staff in these places, they are big and I don't go more than once a week. I am however polite and I do tip. This particular place used to be 'relatively' nice. It was always a pick-up joint but no (or very few) hookers and no commission drinks. It went downhill several years ago and hence I more of less stopped going.

Give us a clue to the name of the bar to help others?

I agree with Dave. It definitely based on economics rather than ethics. One thing I'd like to add is race. If you are Indian or Pakistani, they will throw you out before they throw out a caucasian man. I know this from experience being darker skinned (Mexican/American) they automatically think I'm from India or Pakistan and as a result, I'm refused entry or asked for a very high cover charge. So while I'm standing there arguing with them, Caucasian men are greeted with a smile. It's sad, but it is the way of HK.
