Man 'too old' to drink in New Zealand bar

A 57-year-old man has complained to the Human Rights Commission after a Wellington bouncer told him a bar was full of young people and that he should go home.

Artist and self-described "man about town" Norman Levido wanted a quiet beer before catching the last bus home but was turned away from student hangout The Big Kumara on February 27.



He said he was let halfway up the stairs before a second bouncer called out: "There are young people up there, you go home."

He left but took the matter to the Human Rights Commission, which has agreed to investigate.

Thanks Ana!
