Center City bar raises entry age to 25 due to apparent surge in fake IDs

A bar in Center City Philadelphia is causing a stir after barring entry to anyone under 25.

Dirty Franks has started turning away younger crowds, blaming a surge in fake IDs for the new policy, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Owner Jody Sweitzer said the last straw was when someone tried to use a fake driver’s license featuring none other than Ben Franklin’s face.

The fakes have gotten so convincing that even security staff are being fooled.

Outside the popular drive bar, a sign now reads, “You must be 25 or older to enter.”

Sweitzer claims they have had to raise the entry age to save their bar from being shut down.
