Is this a good thing? Think it will ever reach the US?

quote:

While minimum age restrictions are commonplace around the world for establishments serving alcohol, upper age limits are a rarity.

So it’s no surprise that a pub in Tokyo has made headlines for imposing a ‘soft ban’ on older customers.


https://www.euronews.com/travel/2026/01/28/upper-age-limits-for-clubs-are-common-in-south-korea-now-japan-is-following-suit

quote:

n early 2026, a sign appeared outside the entrance reading: “Entrance limited to customers between the ages of 29 and 39. This is an izakaya for younger generations. Pub for under 40-only.”




quote:

There are some caveats, albeit written in very tiny writing. Older patrons are admitted as long as one person in the party is 39 or younger.

Friends or family members of employees, as well as business partners of the restaurant, are exempt from the age restriction.


quote:

In Hongdae, Seoul’s university district, many clubs and pubs with dance floors enforce unofficial upper age restrictions for those over 30, with some going as low as 28 or 25.

Some venues in Itaewon and Gangnam also turn away older patrons.

According to The Korea Times, many sports facilities and coffee shops have introduced ‘no seniors zones’, citing the incompatibility of older customers with their atmosphere.

These tend to target customers over the age of 70.

America has too big of a sugar daddy problem to put an age range on popular upscale bars

Definitely would be some butt hurt athletes and celebs over the age thing in a club.

I didn't think Tokyo had a problem, at least at bars. I've gone to Izakaya with people from work, and they drink plenty. The picture is not an Izakaya, but a night club.

What kind of hell are the old folks raising at coffee shops and baseball games?

Seems like they complain about the noise too much

quote:

“With older customers, they tend to make a lot of complaints about the restaurant being too noisy and such, so we decided to limit who’s coming in, so that everyone can go home happy about the experience they had.”

They're just eliminating the people who would probably spend the most money in their establishment... Doesn't sound like a smart business move...

I've heard this to happen in Miami quite a bit - younger guys can't compete with the older dudes with money, so they put an age restriction on entry.

I would presume there are some state statutes on the books regarding age discrimination as a business practice that would prevent this from occurring.

I mean, who doesn't want to party with PeePaw and Grammie every once in a while...

Nightclubs and bars are two different things. I wouldn't be in a nightclub my age (41), but there's a bar down the street from my office that has lunch specials less expensive than fast food and it's better food too.

You're so full of shite

Pretty sure you've been a young lawyer in his 30s and either retired or close to retirement in other instances

I thought Japan and Korea were disappearing because they didn’t have enough people. What the heck are these young people doing after they go to the clubs if they’re not doing you know what?

To quote Chris Rock,

quote:

You don't want to be the old guy in the club. He ain't too old, just a little old to be in the club. You don't want to be THAT guy...
