A Melbourne man has sparked online debate after claiming he and a friend were refused entry to a popular Prahran nightclub because of their footwear, while women wearing similar shoes were allowed inside. The complaint surfaced in a Reddit post that quickly gained traction.
The user shared a photo showing two men wearing Birkenstocks, the well-known German brand of orthopaedic-style sandals, alongside a woman entering the venue in thong-style open-toed shoes. According to the post, the incident occurred at Pawn & Co., a well-known bar and nightclub on Greville Street in Prahran. The venue is known for its pawn shop-themed interior and lively nightlife atmosphere.
