A man has been refused entry to a bar in Perth because he has a mullet haircut.
Cooper Allin had just enjoyed his first beer in a pub with family and friends after turning 18 when he decided to visit El Grotto (below). But he was turned away at the entrance by the bouncer.
“He said, ‘no mullets allowed’,” Allin told 7News.
“To have one beer and get told, ‘No, you can’t come in because of your hair’, was a bit devastating. I reckon it’s a bit silly I mean, it’s a mullet, heaps of people have mullets.”
Allin said he thought it was his attire that would be more problematic, as he was wearing thongs and a T-shirt.
“I was more concerned about my pluggers (thongs) but he (the bouncer) wasn’t too fussed about that,” he said.
“I wasn’t there to have a haircut, I was there to sink frothies.”
Australian Hotels Association WA chief executive Bradley Woods said it's legal for bars to set and police their own dress standards.
“There are venues that are mullet friendly," he explained. "So it’s just a question of finding the right bar or club that likes mullets.”
