You'll *Never* Guess Which NYC Bar Almost Turned Away Rihanna This Week...

by Stephanie Maida · June 24, 2021

    The last person in the world we would expect to be given a hard time at the door, any door, is Rihanna. Like, pretty sure she would be able to roll up to the White House uninvited and the secret service would be more than thrilled to let her in. 

    So it's no wonder the internet has collectively lost its shit over a video of the Bad Gal herself seemingly being denied entry at an NYC watering hole this week while out for date night with her equally A-list boo, A$AP Rocky. 

    The video shows the celebrity couple talking to a bouncer, who, according to witnesses, wasn't letting them in because Rihanna didn't have ID on her.

    Uh, hello?! Don't you know who she is?

    As if that isn't shocking enough, wait until you hear which "hot spot" was pretending to be too exclusive to give f-ing Rihanna a pass.

    Barcade.

    BARCADE!

    The divey bar on St. Mark's that just about every NYU student has snuck into to drink cheap beer and play vintage arcade games. Like, come on.

    Luckily (for the bar, that is), A$AP and RiRi eventually made it inside, where they took part in a little friendly competition and packed on the PDA. They even cheered on other players, took selfies with fans, and bought a round of shots for their fellow patrons. 

    And they almost weren't even let in! But, glad there was a happy ending - and shots.
