Customers generally support Bliss Caribbean Restaurant’s ban on male customers under 35 and women under 30. But some legal experts say there may be a problem.
When Tina and Marvin Pate travel to Cancún or the Dominican Republic, they enjoy the bliss created by the good music, delicious food and the absence of children.
This rule has drawn widespread attention to Bliss through social media, resulting in packed dance parties and what the restaurant calls a “grown and sexy” vibe.
The act “prohibits discrimination by public accommodations on the basis of sex” in addition to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry or disability, Mr. Crum explained.
“If the attorney general’s office sought to step in and try and stop this practice,” Mr. Crum said, “I would have little doubt that they would be able to issue an injunction and say, ‘You have to eliminate this policy.’”
The Missouri attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to an email on Tuesday inquiring about the legality of the restaurant’s rule.
Nettie’s House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls, N.J., for instance, posted on its Facebook page in February 2023 that children under the age of 10 were no longer allowed in the restaurant.
