Deep South — Restaurant in Cork

Rude and no apology! Total discrimination! My husband and I were treated extremely bad by bouncer who did not let us in the pub. First of all, we are not Irish which is probably the main reason we were not allowed into the pub. Second of all we were very much sober and had a group of our friends waiting for us inside. Upon coming to the entrance door, bouncer said that we can not come in as my husband was wearing black Nike shoes. That is fine with us. We proceeded into another pub and on our way back in about 45 minutes saw that he was letting people in wearing Adidas sneakers, Converse sneakers and so on. After that, we came to the door once again and he stopped us once again for the same reason. When I tried to ask him why do rules apply only to us and not to other guests he did not want to respond and completely ignored me. I moved away and in front of my eyes, he again let a person wearing Converse sneakers in, and did not want to talk to me. I have never been treated like this in my life. Such a discrimination! I live and work in Cork and never been denied entering any pub. Just so you know, I am very much aware of the fact that my husband was wearing sneakers and that it is not allowed to get in if you are not wearing shoes but it is not reasonable and legal to let individuals in and some other people not. That is why I took the time and recorded people entering wearing sports sneakers while at the same time we were banned entering. I informed Deep South of the incident and got no reply from them. Not even a sorry. Also when trying to speak to the bouncer he was ignoring me and laughing in my face together with 2 people that were standing at the door with him and these 2 people were not finding it funny as he was. So basically he was mocking us in our face because he denied us the entrance and allowed everyone else to wear sports shoes and enter the pub.I will be taking further actions and will inform everybody possible of this kind of treatment and discrimination. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with this kind of behavior from their bouncer and from the management not to even reply after explaining what happend. I sent them an official complaint and I will not stop at...

Very disappointing experience at the Beer Garden My husband and I had a very unpleasant experience with the bar staff at the Beer Garden. It was around 10 PM and the bar was not crowded. My husband raised his hand to get the attention of the bartenders — all three of them saw us clearly waiting to place an order. We stood at the bar for 20 minutes, but none of them came to take our order. They were chatting among themselves and completely ignored us. When I finally approached them to ask why we were being ignored, one of the bartenders responded very rudely, saying he was "too busy" unloading clean glasses from the dishwasher. When my husband questioned his priorities — whether clean glasses were more important than serving customers — the bartender said the glasses were more important. To make things worse, one of them insulted me by saying he couldn’t understand me because my English was bad. For the record, I speak English very well. We were really looking forward to enjoying the atmosphere, but unfortunately, the staff’s behavior ruined the evening for us. The only positive thing I can say is that the music was great that night. I sincerely hope the owner of this place takes this feedback seriously and takes appropriate action. I also hope there are security cameras in place so the owner can review the behavior of their staff and judge for themselves. We were there on August 2nd, between 9:00 PM and 10:30...

My recent visit to Deep South Pub was nothing short of exceptional, truly making it a standout choice for any occasion, especially a corporate event.

The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that every need was met without being intrusive. This level of professionalism is exactly what you look for when planning a corporate gathering.
