Kansas Bars Cramping Hipsters' Style

September 28, 2007 04:29 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

Local bars in Lawrence have cracked the whip on dress codes, leaving some University of Kansas imbibers on the streets. According to the University Daily Kansan, some banned items are sunglasses, do-rags, large jewelry, oversize clothing, sweat pants, and non-game-day, non-Kansas jerseys.

One bar requires patrons to wear shoes, keep hats on straight, pull up pants, and refrain from wearing sleeveless shirts. The establishment's owner's principled stand against manly bare arms is a matter of propriety.

"I think it's disgusting to see guys in tank tops when people are trying to eat food," he said. "It's a personal rule."
