"Is the bar open for business?

If the bar's closed, no one can come in. The patron is brusquely turned away, regardless of who he or she may be.

Is the patron who he or she claims to be?

The bouncer demands to see some identification and scrutinizes it for authenticity. If the ID is forged, the bouncer hustles the patron away.

Is this patron authorized to enter?

Based on the patron's confirmed identity, the bouncer decides whether this person is allowed in. The patron must be of legal drinking age and, in the case of a private club, must be listed in the membership roster. Or there may be arbitrary restrictions, such as "Ladies' Night.""
