NORTH VANCOUVER resident Elizabeth Bleasdale, 19, says people her age should be welcomed
in the the same way as the over-25 crowd at Montanas Sports Bar in North Vancouver. Montanas

staff discouraged her from entering, citing her age as the reason.

New North Van bar aims to be a ‘nice. place

AN APPARENT move to
bring older clientele into a
newly opened sports bar in
North Vancouver has some
younger people angry about
being penalized.

North Vancouver residents
Elizabeth Bleasdale, 19, and Teri
Thorson, 21, went to Montanas
Sports Bar on two separate occa-
sions last week and are claiming
that they were discouraged from
patronizing the establishment
because of their age.

The sports bar, located in the
100-tlack West Ist St. is the latest
reincarnation at what used to be the
home of Holidays, Goofy's and the
Old Roller Rink.

The new bar opened May 5.

Bleasdale and a 19-year-old
friend had gone to the sports bar on
May 9 for a beer. After showing
their identification to a doorman,
the women were told “lowdown
here is we want people 25 and
older.”

Said Bleasdale, “I’m furious.
There are a lot of 19 year olds that
are mature, have money to buy a
beer, and could go in there and be
calm. It’s so insulting,” Bleasdale
said the doorman didn’t tell her out-

wasn't welcome at Montanas,

“The impression was, you are a
kid, you are not welcome here. Go
away. We knew he didn’t want us
there so that’s why we went in,”
said Bleasdale.

Bleasdale said there were about
10 people in the sports bar.

She said the same “rude” thing
happened to her 24-year-old sister
the next night,

Also on the next evening,
Thorson and four friends, aged 21
to 23, were made to wait in line
outside the sports bar by ‘the door-
man.

‘The group claimed the sports bar
was not full at the time.
