John Barlow is dedicated to improving the community of Minneapolis, and to enhance the safety of his patrons and of the Warehouse District neighborhood where his clubs are located, he recently installed a state-of-the-art security system. The system scans patrons’ IDs to verify if they are of legal drinking age and also to build a database of potential troublemakers. The system tracks infractions, and, thanks to the sophisticated system adopted by clubs in Las Vega, repeat offenders are banned from the clubs. As a responsible club owner, John Barlow holds membership in the Minneapolis Liquor and Beverage Association.
