– I have never experienced anything like it. I have gone out for many years and been rejected for other reasons, but never in a situation like this. I have not seen anyone practice this elsewhere.
That’s what Johannes Heggebø (56) says to Dagbladet. Last Friday, he and his friend Svein Arild Bergjord (54) had an experience they will not soon forget, when they were out on the town in Haugesund.
Heidi’s Bier Bar: – Record week
– Very annoyed
The men in their 50s had been out eating and drinking on Friday evening. When they were going to drop by Heidi’s Bier Bar to meet some acquaintances, they were initially refused entry.
– We were asked for identification – I thought it was a joke. I showed a certificate, but Svein Arild only had a certificate on his mobile, which they did not accept, he says.
He claims that there were several adults who were not allowed in for the same reason.
– We weren’t the only ones. We think it is completely tragic that they cannot use discretion, says Heggebø – and adds:
– They should have ID from everyone. There was nothing to discuss. We were very annoyed at the time, says the 56-year-old.
However, they were eventually allowed into the nightclub, which has an age limit of 20.
To Haugesund’s Avis, which mentioned the case first, they emphasize that they do not usually go to Heidi’s, but that they take the question of identification as a compliment.

Security company: – Unnecessary
Kjartan C. Taranger is general manager of Sentrum Vekter AS, which provides security services at Heidi’s Bier Bar and a number of other local pubs in Haugesund.
He tells Dagbladet that it was unnecessary to require identification from two men in their 50s, but points out that they must follow the rules.
– When you see that someone is over 20 years old, there is really no problem, says Taranger to Dagbladet – and adds:
– We have to follow the rules. Things like this usually work out very well.
