The comments come after police were called to two separate incidents that broke out at Banna Avenue on Saturday night.
At 10pm on May 12 a 23-year-old man was refused entry into The Area Hotel because he was deemed too drunk by staff.
The man walked away and jumped on the front bonnet of a nearby car, cracking the windscreen and denting the bonnet.
Security staff managed to hold the man down while police were called, and shortly afterwards the man was arrested and charged with malicious damage.
Earlier that night at 7pm a 69-year-old man refused to leave The Gemini Hotel when told to by staff.
Police were able to later identify the man in the street, and he was hit with a $550 fine.
Griffith Inspector Nick Seddon said police would continue cracking down on this kind of behaviour.
"Police have zero tolerance for people misbehaving or doing the wrong thing in licensed premises," Inspector Seddon said.
"If you are asked to leave and you refuse, you will be receiving a ticket at the very least."
