Their response:
"In an effort to improve the safety of our customers at Blake?s on the Park, the management team met to discuss measures that might be taken to curb the presence of unidentifiable individuals within the establishment. The primary concern was the wearing by some of hoodies and dark glasses so as to make oneself unidentifiable. When we have had to review videotape for security reasons, the perpetrators have consistently been wearing such attire. Our customers must feel safe and the banning of hoodies and dark glasses, especially at night, will be enforced.
The recent posting of a laundry list of banned dress was not developed by management of Blake?s. The dress code is a standard code adopted by many local clubs and bars. Our intention was to post an edited list to address our specific needs, but the code was prematurely posted in error prior to the appropriate edits having been made.
We apologize to anyone who was offended by the error. We welcome ALL at Blake?s, and we will continue to make efforts to ensure the safety of ALL our customers."
