Mexico nightclub’s $300 cover charge for US citizens captures popular mood

Owner of Japan nightclub says This is a response to a year of insults directed at us - as a country - by the United States'

A Mexico City nightclub has gone viral for charging Americans a nearly $300 cover charge, while citizens from any other country pay just $20 for access, and Mexicans and other Latin Americans pay only $14.

The Instagram announcement from the nightclub Japan in the Roma Norte neighborhood has been liked over 26,000 times and received more than 200 comments, mostly supporting the policy as part of a broader revolt in the capital against what many see as a US takeover.
