No, a little flat bottle of eau de toilette that fits in a pocket like a hip flask. Been questioned about it once or twice, but a demonstration generally pacifies the bouncers. I tend to get on well with bouncers anyway - they're dicks for a reason, and once you can show that there's no reason to be a dick to you, they're mostly fine. Mostly.
Edit: And it's probably less likely to get confiscated where I go clubbing, Southern areas and London. You couldn't pay me enough to go out clubbing in Glasgow
why do you say that,there is some unreal clubs in the uk,not the roxy or hitman and her type either.Boom...

OP, I wouldn't be devastated about last night. Some cloakrooms will insist on parting with your coat and a couple of quid. Hell, one place, the Arches in Glasgow said that I wasn't allowed to have my camera on me and so the cloakroom took that as well.

Thanks Monserrat,
Got an update from my friends this afternoon, apparantely the guy came over and apologised to my friends (A bit late seeing as I wasn't there) and that they insist on keeping coats in the cloakroom incase they get stolen (More likely they make extra £££ rather than upping the entrance fee)
I have to question why no one told me this as I went in to pay at the door, I would have happily gone to a pub or something rather than have him insisting on smashing my teeth out. At least one of us was mature enough to walk away, i'll be sure to place my business elsewhere in future.
Oh yeah, just for jokes, heres why my wallet won't fit in my trousers

That's just the type of intelligent reply one could expect from a bouncer. Shame there is no fists smiley eh?

I think it went perfectly with the usual doorman bashing you get on here, and it was more the hangover than the doorman talking

To be fair some are alright, but it's definitely a rarity.
Saw some guy push in the queue last week. He was told to get out once but he didn't hear, so he got grabbed out by the doorman and dragged across the street. The guy turns around and pushes him off him and shouts at him for touching him. The doorman suddenly thinks he's at boxing practice and puts the guy on the ground with a few punches to the face.
I was just like 'what the..'. Really no need for it at all, regardless of the guy pushing in the queue. Unfortunately it's something I witness a lot these days.
Have you considered that the no jacket rule be for everyones safety? It is much easier to conceal a weapon in a coat/jacket, let alone drugs. Where do you draw the line? Allow trenchcoats or perhaps you would prefer to be searched, emptying all of your pockets on request (and stand in the massive queue as a result)?
The doorman was just doing his job, following orders. There could have been countless plebs giving him abuse previous to you entering. It's human nature to give some back occassionally. I've never once saw a doorman crack someone who didn't have it coming - more often than not in self defence.
99.9% of doorman are courteous, if they wern't then they would soon be out of a job. I know I never had to resort to slapping someone around in the two years I worked the bars/clubs. I'm not for one minute saying all doormen are angels, some are so pumped up they look for trouble (in the wrong way) but you will also find they don't last long and quickly get moved on as it is bad for business. Granted this was some 15 years ago - maybe things have changed??

If anything there's even less chance of a doorman slapping someone about even if they do deserve it these days due to how easy it is for you to lose your badge and therefore job.
I've been doing it for a little over 3yrs now and I've never had to strike anyone bit of chat and if its past that stage some restraints and its all good.
Where i'm from saturday is the night to go out, friday usually consists of a sausage fest which results in high levels of anger. This probably caused the threats/swearing. This happens a lot on friday, saturday is different though because thats the most busiest.
Maybe you chose the wrong night? :L

As I said, the guy at the door and, following that, the girl at the cash register did not mention a no jacket rule. It wasn't until I actually got inside that one of the guys walking the floor asked me to take my jacket off. Few minutes later i'm being threatended with violence because I haven't handed it to the cloakroom staff.
I am quite well known to a few doormen in the cenre of leicester and they are all decent people I like to talk with.
The only reason I was slightly irritated during the whole scenario was because I wasn't given the option until after I had paid.
XD No it was definately saturday. If it was friday, I'd have been exhausted from work

I've had this before, was with my ex and we went to a club in manchester, walked into a room only to be told by the bouncer that i wasn't allowed in the room with a coat and had to put it into the cloakroom. As bizarre as it was it was only a pound to put it in and i was prob going to take it off anyway. Sucks though i agree.

Well that's bigger then my girlfriends night out purse so not surprised.
And do you think a club who probably brings in a tone of money from insane mark ups and drunk people cares that they lost 1 awkward guy who didn't want to take his coat of? I'd say you're the one that lost out on a good night out with your mates, who obviously didn't even care enough otherwise they would also have left the establishment.

Got what he deserved to be honest, bet he'll think twice about jumping a que next time.

I agree, you should have been informed upon entering the club about removing your jacket. My post wasn't so much directed at you, it was aimed of those who assume a doorman is a mindless moran who is just out for a fight.
So queue jumping should be met with violence? What?
And that wallet is huge! What are you, a woman?

Certainly not, however queue jumping itself can be the precursor to violence
