Your friend gets denied entry into a bar. Do you go in or not?

Inspired by a news story where a dude went missing shortly after being denied at a bar, his friends went in without him.
Fuck thats scary. Had a similar ish story where a friend of mine got denied or kicked out of a bar, his mom stayed. He ended up passed out in a snow bank lost a bunch of fingers.
ID related? Go in bar, be memorable to bouncer. (For a bit later.)
Friend waits outside for 10min out of sight. You come back out and slip him your ID. Works every time. Social-engineering at its finest.
Bouncers never remember the faces on the ID, just the birthdate, and sometimes the face of the person entering but not usually. That's why I said be memorable so he lets the original person back in without ID.
If you're really slick, you can pass the ID around between 3 people while walking in. But that's up to the gods to decide that one lol done that one a few times thanks to my buddies who taught me.

No bar is worth all that bullshit.
But to the OP, If you even have to ask , you werent really friends to begin with. Going to a bar is a social activity. If you wanted to gl alone, why go with friends in the first place?
True. But sometimes someone just forgets their ID. Worth a shot, I'd say.
The worst is when bouncers don't accept a recently expired ID. Or any form of ID that's not a driver's license. Like, get off yr high horse, Mr. Bouncer man. Stated birthday is right there, plain as day!

I was denied once because I was going in alone. My friends (that night one gentleman and five ladies) were already inside so I called them and they were all out and refusing to come back in when the bouncer said I could go in with them. We just went somewhere else.
Felt good.

Depends on how good a friend and how good a bar... it's a complex equation with many variables.
In the case of what your describing, no. No I would not go in.

Nah, stick with your friend. You're not a good friend if you abandon them for a bar simply because they were denied entry.
I have traveled all over the world and been to most major cities you can name and done my share of partying and drinking and I have never seen a bar that was so cool I decided "fuck this friendship" because I had to be inside it right that second.
My friends were kicked out of bars quite a few times, I always left with them. It was fine except that one time where I waited 1 hour in the line and then had to leave 10min after entering (at least they gave me back the entrance fee).
I was recently not allowed to enter in a bar because I was not wearing jeans (35 degrees and they expect me to wear jeans?). I was happy to leave and spend my money somewhere else. I understand that some clubs are fancier and have this kind of bs police, but a fucking bar in the middle of the city? 6pm and you want to decide what I am wearing? Naaahhh. Nice way to make sure only the worst people get in.

I was once denied to enter a bar because i wore sandals. Luckily my hotel was near, so i could just switch them
Physically fine, no complications or anything. Head is harder to reconcile.
...if I went to a bar with friends, why the hell would I go in without them? Even if it was the last bar in town, we'd just go buy a bottle and start a fire in someone's backyard. First time making plans with friends, OP?
I generally think dress codes and kinda bullshit, but this one makes sense. Open-toe footwear is a safety hazard in dark, crowded rooms.
This. I've picked up friends from thier home and saw they were wearing trainers and told them to change footware becuse they won't be let in. They refuse. They don't get let in. More than two of us in the group and we leave them outside.
I'm there to hang out with my friends, not to be specifically at that bar. Fuck no I wouldn't leave her behind.
100% ditch. You're no longer my friend when denied entry. Hit the gym. Get a lawyer. Hit up a meetup and make a new friend.
I mean, usually, I'll leave with them.
Then again, if the person is being denied entry for trying to smuggle in their own booze (which I've seen before)... Might warn them beforehand that I'll go in either way. If there's anyone else I'm planning to drink with, of course.
But since my friends wouldn't do that dumb shit... 100% stick with them in reality.

If the friend is being a dumbass then probably sure. Especially if the group has tried to tell them to lock it the fuck up.
If it's an asshole and possibly racist bouncer, then we all stay out.

Hell no I wouldn't ditch my friend, lol. I'm not going to go out with a friend in the first place unless the point is to have their company.
If I'm in a group and one friend is denied entry, there's no clear cut answer. I'd probably try to get the group to change venues so everyone could be included.

I mean Im okay with going to bars alone and see some friends out every 3-4 days/ every week. If I they arent with me one night its not a big deal see them again soon.
EDIT: Works other way too I wouldnt mind if I wasnt let it and they went in etc.
"be part of the bar scene"
"not have a good time with their buddies"
Douchiest thing I ever heard lol. What a sad thing.
Bars turn people away? Do you mean like a nightclub, because that's the only place I've heard of doing this and I've never seen one that actually does.
Don't go in? What kind of question is this? Why would I ditch a friend to go in a bar by myself?
This. How bad do you want to get into this particular bar that you'd ditch your friend? Don't be an asshole
The voting options are so weird. No, of course not.There's a million places to choose from you psycho.
I'm a rather dull homebody sort of person (bars are expensive and I'm just there for the drinks anyway) but does this sound as gross to anyone else as it does to me?
No, you go somewhere else.
There's only been 1 time where that wasn't the rule and it's when the boyfriend of one of my friends wanted to bring his weed into the club. I told him to go back to the car and put it away, he said he'd rather just go smoke. We ditched him and got in, then got into the VIP lounge and drank for free all night. Incredibly good night.
Lot of women getting kidnapped in and around Boston because they left the club alone as of late.
