I'd have walked outside, unclipped the knife, slid it down in my pocket, and walked right back in.

That is really all the bouncer needed to do. Hey bud, we get some Nervous Nellies in here sometimes, would you keep the clip of your knife concealed and they will never know.
I found an e-mail on their website and sent them a note asking about their weapons policy: headnoodle@slipperynoodle.com
I'll post their reply [STRIKE]when[/STRIKE] IF I get one.
FIFY
Unless he actually thinks it's illegal to carry a knife in a bar. He had me convinced that was his conviction. He didn't seem to believe me when I told him there is no such law.
He probably doesn't care whether it's legal or not. He may well have been using the simplest language to get you to comply to the private business' rules.
Bouncers are not fond of weapons period and they likely won't be working where they are allowed. As far as the bouncer is concerned you and everyone else is just one drink away to turning from Dr Jeckel into Mr Hyde.
You know I just didn't get that vibe from this bar. It's well lit and everyone was there for the food and the music - very unusual for a bar. I doubt there are issues at the Slippery very often. I didn't really see anyone drunk...just didn't seem like that kind of place. The cover is pretty low, only $5...can't get a show like that anywhere for that kind of money. I'm sure he's just trying to do his job and keep the odds in his favor.
Ok, just got a response from the owner. it was very polite and actually pretty long. their policy is no gang colors and no exposed weapons. he said exposed weapons bring complaints and they want everyone to be welcome. he has no issue with concealed weapons at all. I thought his response was logical and courteous. they don't post their policy preferring to handle people as individuals with respect.
I'm good with the answer and I will be back.

Feel free to prove me wrong here, but I doubt you could find any business that employs bouncers allowing patrons to carry weapons. It's a liability issue.

...............I did get thrown out once, but that was because of a certain former friend of mine who apparently turns into a knucklehead when he drinks.
