The Supreme Court protects ethnicity, color, creed under strict scrutiny which basically means no bar can discriminate.
Gender however has "heightened" scrutiny, but you are still allowed to discriminate on the basis of gender as long as it is "reasonable." This is a stupid law, everyone knows cheaper drinks for lady's is fine and reasonable but whatever.

How is that reasonable? It's reasonable because the establishement's owner wants me to come and spend more money because I think I can get a drunk chick to come home with me because I have a small penis and I need to prove myself to my friends who also all have very small penises? Meh. I'm not sure I follow your reasoning.
I don't really drink, for a lot of reasons, but even if I did I wouldn't approve of "lady's nights." I DO believe it's discrimination (I wouldn't go so far as to take it to court, but that's another matter...), and trying to argue that it's not is just silly. It's the very DEFINITION of discrimination. More to the point, however, I don't agree with the principle behind it. It's designed by men and for men. That women get free drinks is just a clever device to further men's interests, and I think it's a foul manifestation of misogyny.
But maybe that's just me.
