ARONSON, J.*
A sports bar denied admittance to members of two motorcycle clubs when they refused to comply with the bar’s policy requiring them to remove their “colors” (the patch on a motorcycle jacket signifying membership in a particular club) before entering. The excluded club members sued, asserting the tavern violated their rights under the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code,1 §§ 51, 52; hereafter the Unruh Civil Rights Act or the Act). In a trial based on stipulated facts, the court found no Unruh Civil Rights Act violation and entered judgment for the bar. We affirm.
