Who really can judge other people?

I'm writing my first blog on here blogger.com and I'll start my introduction of how is it being a Muslim. First of all I have been a Muslim for about a year now plus half a year of studying Islam (I will write my whole story of it soon.). Now I have come across lot of descrimination, doubt from other Muslims (there are not many) in my community.
Yesterday I was in a bar, not drinking, not partying, only  to spend time with my Muslim husband (who works there.), and with Hijab, I sit in back room of the bar, usually people don't see me a lot. There works this turkish man, who told me that I am not a real Muslim, cos I don't know how to pray and I go to this one bar. (he thinks women should stay only at home, and not to go out without her husband, not even with girlfriends.) And he told me that his father is a REAL Muslim, because he prays so much that he isn't working anymore, even if he could. I myself concider myself a bit of a liberal-Muslim, and it is how I am the best Muslim I can be, I stay happy being this kind, and I think many Muslims will not understand. (Don't get me wrong, I follow the Quran pretty well, I think, but this thing about being at home all the time, is not for me. Also I like to go out and "advertise"  Islam, because there are so few of us in my neighbourhood.) But this man who is talking this, this turkish, is himself cheating his wife, not praying, not knowing who is Aisha, not knowing who is Prophet Muhammad's (SAWS) first wife etc... So who is he really judging me? I know I will always be under a magnifying glass when it comes to these "real-Muslims", who are from Muslim families, but I don't understand, why can't we all be the kind of a Muslim we want, because when You think about it only Allah can judge us, and He will show you how you lived in the end.
