A 76-year-old man claims he was refused entry to a Liverpool city centre bar for being "too old".
Anthony Severs, from Vauxhall, was out on Mathew Street on the evening of July 25. Having left The Grapes, he walked up to Irish bar McCooley's at around 10pm to get a pint and shelter from the rain.
However, Anthony said he was left "shell shocked" when he was turned away by a bouncer, who he claims said he was "too old" to come in. Retired shipbuilder Anthony told the ECHO he had not experienced anything like it in his near-60 years drinking in Liverpool city centre.
