I obviously don't know any background about the bar, but it seems to me that if they wanted to make a VIP list like a nightclub or a nice restaurant does, it should be totally fine. And if they're trying to rat out the bar for serving alcohol to minors, shouldn't they call the cops instead of a city council representitive on it?

They are trying to make the boycot/sit in seem as if it is about underaged drinking (which is illegal), when in reality they are upset over the VIP list and dress code (which isn't illegal).
The cops are at the bar almost every week anyway patroling the parking lot and recently they have been inside checking for fake IDs and underage drinking.
The reason this particular group is upset about the dress code is because one of the rules is "no logo clothing". The majority of predominately African American brands (FUBU, Ecko, Sean John) have huge brand names or logos all over them. An Abercrombie Polo with a small emblem on the chest is fine to wear in, but I have seen people (white) turned away for having a shirt that has ABERCROMBIE written across the front.
As far as the VIP list goes, as far as I have seen (and I was in the bar 2 nights a week, every week this summer), the VIP list is only used on Wednesday nights when girls get free cover and free drinks until 11:00 (when guys are let into the bar). In order to be on the list you must be a customer who comes regularly on other nights of the week. Why should they let in girls who only come for the free drinks and leave to go to another bar at 11:00 and they don't support the bar any other night of the week? The VIP list seems fair to me.

By "around here," do you mean somewhere where English is spoken? Seriously, whoever wrote this has more necessary things to do than organize this "boycot."

lol, true- But I really just meant there is some confusing stuff in the post- for example the "He" she keeps referring to is the owner of the bar and a city councilman.
