I might go to facebook and start a group- "Say NO to bouncers in Snow Towns." lol thats cuz youre a pothead focker!! Lets face it, there is (generally speaking) less trouble in small towns/cities where there tends to be less people in bars. I only saw a bouncer or two in Hiroshima at the big clubs, and as somebody else pointed out it was because of the military. I went out in Umeda and Shinsaibashi recently and there was a bouncer or two walking around not because of military, but because of other clientele. You have a bouncer when you expect trouble, or when there has been trouble in the past. If an establishment has 200 drunk idiots, and occasionally a fight breaks out, then youre going to need somebody to break it up. Went out the other night in an 'inaka' bar with around 70 people in it and there was no bouncer. Depends on the clientele.... Fights arent common between Japanese in bars; the only fights I have seen were gaijin and chinpira. I think your Facebook slogan should be "1 million people say NO to bouncers in snow towns" Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Here you go, the sausage fest that is Paddys. The door is 2 tables to the left. All it needs is sawdust on the floor. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If Bars in Tokyo have bouncers its usually the Gaijin hangouts, I remember Gas Panic having muscle bound ex navy guys on the doors, still didn't stop their former brethern from knocking lumps outta each other. I remember going to Gas Panic in Yokohama, leaving the bar for about half an hour and then came back, only to find ambulances there carting out 3 guys with blood streaming down their faces....Gas Panic...don't go there!!

D train 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 What many of you are describing is what I already do. All the bars have my number and if there are problems they call. I also try and do the other stuff MikePow detailed as much as possible- january was underager central at some of the Japanese run bars ( where they have no idea what a 15 year old Aussie looks like). It would be cost prohibitive for most bars to have doorstaff so this way we cover the bases. I was the defacto town bouncer last season, this season i got paid to do it and could come from a position of semi-authority- meaning more negotiations, less fighting for me. That most of you that come here don`t know I exist, or at least have no idea that I am around is probably the best balance- walk softly and carry a big Canadian. : ) The incident in question, had I been working that night, would have ended very differently ( and been settled much sooner and peacefully) Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Heres an idea - probably a stupid one but what about if you got rid of the bars in Niseko. Lets get rid of Paddy's and put Big Cliff back there. If you want to get a pissed as a monkey do it but in your apartment. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Good story, sounds like most of my local joints that I used to hang out at when I was in my early 20's. Nothing like a good punch up now and again for some entertainment! LOL Link to post Share on other sites
