Yeah, can’t see the local council licensing a male only bar serving alcohol, but they will license male-only saunas/bathhouses in England and Wales, and women on site can cause the loss of the licence.

Saunas and bathhouse will have to do. But still, stupid laws.

Yeah, but it’s a result of the equality act 2010, which prevents discrimination on the basis of sex with just a few exceptions. Largely a good thing, but should have been restricted to employment and public services and left private businesses and clubs to make their own rules (like they did for religions in the equal marriage legislation).

Yes. I agree. The equality act should be amended to exempt private businesses and clubs. Ironically, LGBT groups would oppose that, even though this will obviously benefit gay bars.
