I'm honestly turned off by the mandatory dress code... it makes this town sound like more than it really is. We're in Grand Forks, North Dakota, people...
I'm all for it. Keeps the people that start stuff outside, and keeps the people going in to a standard.
Do we really need another Bucks or El Roco? Thats what happens when you have no standards, all the people with no standards go there.
Gilly's has a dress code to keep the people that start fights, and cause problems out. I personally thing more bars should do this. They also have a list of people that start fights, and threaten people. They're also not allowed back in, ever.
I'm not a gilly's person but I'm happy Josh (The guy that owns it) took the plunge and did it first. When I go to a bar to have a good time, the last thing I need is some weird ass guy with cut off's and an attitude getting in my face because I bumped into him.
