Ladies' night: Right or wrong?

Tonight kicks off Wednesday ladies nights at Mix Ultra Lounge, 1107 Broadway. Women get in free and DJ Roonie G performs.

Doors open at 9 p.m. The sexiest women will win cash, according to the event's Facebook page.

Not a woman? You'll pay a $5 cover.

Mix isn't the only local bar that hosts ladies-only promotions. Belloo's, for example, has its little black dress promotion every Friday and Saturday night. Wear a black dress and you'll get gift certificates for the bar.

Single guys don't usually wage equality disputes over the female-specific deals. If anything, the offers increase their chances of meeting single women.

Coupled men? Sometimes their feelings are a little more complex.

After all, it's not easy to stomach the idea of paying a $5 cover when you're bringing a woman to the bar -- and not hitting on any of the other eligible partiers.

Weigh in: Do you have an issue with ladies nights?
