They're pretty good at weeding out clients. I look Japanese (which is not surprising since my parents are Japanese) and although I speak Japanese fluently, those bouncers/doormen can usually clue in that I'm not a native citizen. In one instance, it was my clear pronunciation of the word "Web Site" which gave it away. The other time, it might have been my clothing because all I said was sumimasen before he asked me if I was Japanese.
Either way, I tell them that I'm Japanese but currently living abroad in Canada. That always works.
