A Kingston bar could lose its licence within months of getting it back, after two underage girls were permitted entry before one later made an allegation of rape against two men she met inside.

Just 15 months after its licence was first revoked, police have called for another licence review of Barcadia, in Clarence Street.

The review comes after a 17-year-old girl made an allegation to police about a rape that took place later at the Antoinette Hotel, in Beaufort Road, on the night she and a friend, also 17, visited Barcadia.

The police application by licensing officers said door staff only checked one of the girls’ IDs – an expired 18-year-old’s passport.

A police application to revoke the club’s licence said: “On Monday, March 9, 2015, the female attended the venue with her friend who was also 17.

“Both females were spoken with by door staff prior to entry and upon entering only one of the females produced an identification which was ‘scanned’ by door staff.

“This is a clear breach of premises licence as not only are the two girls underage [but] licence conditions clearly state that no patron should be permitted entry unless they have valid photographic identification and this photographic evidence shall be checked on the document-reading and checking machine.”

The redacted report adds the two girls drank alcoholic drinks and met two males inside the bar, who are then alleged to have committed an offence at a nearby location.

A police spokesman said: “Detectives from the Met's sexual offences exploitation and child abuse command are investigating an allegation of a rape at Hotel Antoinette, Beaufort Road, Kingston in the early hours of Monday 9 March.”

He added no arrests had been made and enquiries continued.

Huseyn Sanli, who owns Barcadia, said: “The bouncer in question has been sacked by the security company. I just hope there will be a proportionate response from the council.

“I cannot be there 24/7. All I can do is trust the company that I work with that also works with other Kingston bars and clubs.

“I feel like we are getting targeted – it’s like a witch hunt. We can’t keep fighting with the council. Ask your readers – is Barcadia really the most violent bar in Kingston?”

He said it was disappointing police officers had not called for a review of nearby Pryzm nightclub after an allegation of anal rape inside the venue last year.

Barcadia lost its licence in January 2014 after a man was hospitalised with lacerations to the neck following an alleged glassing at the venue on Christmas Eve 2013.

William Ridley, 19, of Wolsey Crescent, Morden, was acquitted of inflicting grievous bodily harm in February this year.

Barcadia briefly opened as a burger pop-up restaurant before councillors decided to give back its licence late last year.

It previously survived a licence review earlier in 2013, after police found the bar over capacity and with door staff unable to say how many people were inside.

Mr Sanli agreed to install a £5,000 ID scanner – the same used by neighbouring Pryzm nightclub – which would scan the ID of every customer entering the bar.

Grove ward Councillor Phil Doyle, who sits on the licensing committee, said: “I am surprised Barcadia is up again.

“There are various options – from doing nothing, removing the licence in the short term or, in the most extreme case, removing the licence altogether, or a call for the supervisor to be changed.”

A decision on the future of the bar will be made at a later date.
