Default bassment/moshulu management

I really don't want this to turn into a moshulu/bassment bashing thread, but this blanket ban on staff drinking after hours or on their days off is pretty annoying. I'm not sure if the management realise that it's affected regulars with friends who work there as well as the staff?
There's been a few occasions when my mates and I have had to find somewhere else to go for a night out because a friend works in Bassment and isn't allowed in there or upstairs that night. Case in point, a few Sundays ago there were 6 of us who wanted food and a couple of pints and ended up going to a different bar because one of our group wasn't allowed in the Bassment and that easily lost the bar the best part of £100 on a quiet Sunday night. Surely if the staff want to spend time there when they aren't working this is a good sign?
I know that there's probably a reason for this, but it seems to me that if you don't trust your staff to socialise in their place of work then you probably shouldn't be employing them in the first place. To ask a memeber of staff to immediately vacate the premises after work and not allow them to even wait for a friend or partner to finish their drinks is a bit extreme if you ask me.

So, just really wondering about the reasoning behind it and hopefully bringing it to the attention of the management (whoever that may be these days).
