McCooley's has responded to claims a 76-year-old man was denied entry to the bar because he was "too old".
Anthony Severs, from Vauxhall, told the ECHO he was not allowed into the Irish Bar on Mathew Street last month. Grandad and retired shipbuilder, Anthony, had been in The Grapes on the evening of July 25 and was going to walk home.
However, as it was raining, he decided to go into McCooley's for a pint and to shelter from the rain. Anthony claimed he was turned away by a bouncer who allegedly said he was "too old" to come in.
