Altrincham Bar Sticks With 9 p.m. Ban on Solo Patrons After Owner’s Instagram Defense

The owner frames the late‑night rule as a safety measure to prevent nuisance.

Overview

  • Alibi in Altrincham continues to refuse solo entry after 9 p.m., a policy the owner reiterated in a new Instagram video.
  • The venue’s entrance sign states “No single entry” after 9 p.m. and asks lone visitors to contact friends inside before attempting to enter.
  • The posted house rules also set a dress code that excludes sportswear, tracksuits, Stone Island clothing, ripped or frayed jeans, and what it calls “roadman vibes.”
  • Owner Carl Peters argues the rule protects guests and prevents lone drinkers from bothering groups, adding pointed remarks such as “don’t bring your woke agenda here.”
  • Reaction online is split between criticism of exclusion and support for a licencee’s discretion to refuse entry, with no regulatory action reported.
