Bliss, a Caribbean restaurant located in St. Louis, has restricted the entry of customers below the age of 30. As strange as it may sound, they were very particular with this rule and only women above 30 and men over 35 years of age are open to dine in this restaurant.&nbsp;

The owners of the restaurant, Marvin Pate and his wife wanted a 'grown' and 'sexy' vibe for their place. They thought this could only be achieved if they imposed an age restriction. Their menu had exquisite cocktails and dishes and offered a peaceful environment for people to enjoy their meal.

Although people have reacted to this unusual age restriction in different ways, Pate feels that to have a mature and sophisticated environment it was important that such a restriction was imposed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A few people believed that curbing entry of individuals below the age of 30 would hurt Bliss's finances.&nbsp;

Furthermore, some people said that age doesn't determine one's behaviour, even older people can cause a ruckus sometimes. Several people are of the opinion that instead of restricting entry based on just age, the owners should try to identify the ones causing problems.&nbsp;

Then there are those who are all for the new policy, including the restaurant's DJ. "The policies have drawn crowds who appreciate older-school acts including Usher, Tevin Campbell and Bobby Brown. There’s not a problem with a younger crowd. But this provides an environment for us so we can be around like-minded people and people who have the same energy,” Jordan Johnson, who DJs at the restaurant told The Washington Post.&nbsp;

Some customers appreciated the owners following this rule to maintain an upscale and unique environment. A user took to Facebook and wrote, "I think this is what the city needs".&nbsp;

Having age restrictions for kids is something heard of, but this rule is certainly unique.

“Of course, we have been getting a little backlash, but that’s okay because we’re sticking to our code,” Pate told the KSDK News.&nbsp;
