    There is No name on the front entrance, or maybe it is hidden by the garbage they stored outside , once again violating the fire safety norms of hongkong ! It is in the First floor of the building called SUNNY HOUSE .

    First of all, I don't condone this sort of behaviour.

    One assumes the bar owner is in business to make money so it would be interesting to hear their side...

    I ran a pub in Headington, (Oxford UK), and we refused to serve Gypsies. There is no doubt that it was:

    a: discrimination
    b: probably illegal
    c: with the full support of the Oxfordshire Constabulary

    Anyone who's run pubs in England will know what I'm talking about here! It's not just race either, many pubs won't allow 'squaddies', under 21s, team shirts.......not worth the bother and history has proven again and again that keeping these groups out of your bar is good for business, not to mention safety and keeping your premises safe from being labelled anti-social, (risking your license)...

    I'm not saying that's what happened here, I'm just providing an example from my experience....

    Most Pakistanis are Muslim?
    Muslims don't drink in public?
    What am I missing?

    If they don't drink then they take up space in the pub that could be taken up by someone who will actually buy a drink?

    Also, I think you will find it says that Muslims are not supposed to drink, but reality is quite different

    And Catholics don't use contraception and don't have sex before marriage

    These sort of things exist now and then in HK. The question is how much has it bothered you. If not much, just go on with your life.

    Calling the police will not do much in my opinion. You dont have proof of what happened, just your word against the owners. I am not sure there are laws against a owner rejecting to serve a particular customer (that is what they are going to say... its not race).

    If it has truly bothered you sufficiently enough to do something about it, best bet would be to approach a newspaper and get this story to the masses.
