A bar in Colorado Springs has put a new rule in place in hopes of ensuring a “more mature and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone” – by banning those under 30 years of age.

Luxe Daiquiri Lounge made the announcement regarding the rule change on March 31, having since posted “30-plus” on subsequent event listings.

The rule change followed a fatal shooting that took place in the parking lot of the establishment last weekend that killed on 22-year-old and injured two others.

In addition to the new age limit, the lounge has increased security measures and will be implementing a new dress code that’s “designed to elevate [the] lounge experience and maintain a classy ambiance.” Music at the lounge will now cater to those who enjoy R&B, Afrobeats, jazz, and reggae.

The announcement was met with a mixed reaction on social media, with some people praising the age requirement and newly featured music genres while others claimed the move is discriminatory and addressing the wrong issues.

Do you think the move is a good one? Let us know in the comments.
