Original Note:
It was not the law to refuse to serve women coffee. There was an old law from 1861 that said it was illegal to serve refreshments to prostitutes or thieves between 12am-6am. Only one restaurant chain in London decided to ban the serving of any woman without a male escort. https://www.bbc.co.uk/videos/cg66lv5lekko
