Metro Weekly reached out to the managing partners of Bunker, and to the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife and Culture and its director, Salah Czapary, about these concerns, including the legal ability of venues to set specific dress codes involving clothing traditionally associated with one gender.In response, Q, a managing partner at Bunker, told Metro Weekly in a statement that the prohibition on certain footwear was adopted out of concern for the safety of patrons.“We recently implemented a no high heels and open-toed shoes policy at Bunker as a safety precaution,” Q wrote in an email. “Bunker is a dimly lit, underground dance club with concrete floors and steps.
Our intention was to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.“However, we have heard the feedback from our community loud and clear, and while we will continue to strongly discourage the wearing of high heels for safety reasons, we will not prevent patrons from wearing them.”A request for comment from the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife and Culture was not returned as of press time.
Bunker has also clarified its policy on the “Frequently Asked Questions” page of its website.“Bunker welcomes the attire of all gender identities and expressions,” a statement reads. “However, Bunker is a dimly lit, underground dance club with concrete floors and steps.
As a safety precaution, we strongly discourage the wearing of high heels.
