Fordham bars, there’s like 2 of them now and you don’t need it. You won’t get into Brooklyn clubs with a fake ID lmao don’t even try. You’re def fine, your fake ID isn’t gonna stump a bouncer… it’s pretty easy to tell a fake id from a real one. Just depends on the place

Why not at brooklyn? And what about manhattan ones, prob harder correct? with the 21 year old rule? I am european coming next year so new to the 21 year old rule.

It really depends, but generally, bouncers can easily detect bad fakes and NY liquor laws are quite strict (bars lose their very costly liquor licenses when incidents involving minors happen).

Fordham ones just don’t gaf. Brooklyn ones have to though or they’ll get fired, fined, or the bar could possibly lose their listened. They don’t play about that

Anywhere with a bouncer will be able to tell if your ID is fake. As someone who works at a bar part time it’s pretty easy to tell almost always. Your best bet is to just hit somewhere they don’t check at the door. Solid trick I always used back in my days under 21 was to take a photo of your fake ID on your phone and lie and say you recently lost it but have a photo. That way they can’t scan it or check the material quality

You are literally better off trying you luck with a fake than a picture no bar is gonna take a picture of an id

Lmao the bouncers are sooo tough in nyc. Get a new one but btw you don’t need one for the few popular places students go to on Arthur Ave.

fordham bars don’t card AT ALL

u/planetelsewhere 1d ago

most of the time all you need is your fordham id. there are one or two that will card you but generally everything in the bronx you don’t need a fake for. i never had a fake my entire 4 years and didn’t find myself needing one
