The Grove Restaurant, Ennis — Restaurant in County Clare

It used to be a very nice place like 10 years back but now the manager won't let U drink typical red Irish beers like Ale cause as he said it's sour and pipes are broken. I was wearing polish team jersey (with very emotional history in the background) while watching lost game vs Colombia and wanted to try something new and typical for Ireland. Manager asked his waiters to do a little theatre after my 1st question about these red beers when he most probably did shut down the draughts and these boys shown me it is all dry when I asked for the 2nd time. I gave them €5 each cause they were so convincing🤤

And the Irish lady sitting next to it did laugh so hard. Well if I would be negative person I could say it was based on stereotypes or maybe even discrimination but I did get rid of these bad thoughts on my way back home. All I had to do was to pretend bit dizzy after few Guinnesses and 1 glass of horse piss which the manager did advice instead of something original like the red ones.

As a customer I've never seen anything like this before. As a bartender I was forced to do some little tricks while I was working in the Queens. If he didn't know I know what's going on... well, it's not my problem. It would not happen if the manager or anyone from the staff would maintain draughts and every customer would be...

OMG! DO NOT PROCEED! TURN AROUND! We are not from the area and unfortunately we ended up in here last Wednesday. We were starving so we settled in. Ordered dinner, the steak was on a bed of chips, not homemade, no sauce, mixed salad, no dressing, ask for veggies as side, what arrived was all I can say are either frozen or canned. Mashed cabbage and what I hope was mashed carrots. This is Ireland, brocolli is less than a euro. Granted, it was 11.99 but then we discovered the other part of town near Tesco and they serve this for 15.00 with proper veg and mash. To make matters worst, we had to rush back to the hotel because nature was urgently calling and it was nasty! The staff were friendly but the food quality is...

walked in to a not totally crowded place in the evening. We were told were to sit and that the waiter would follow us with the menu. 10 to 15 minutes passed noone came. My partner got up and took 2 menus from the shelf and we had a lock at them and chose what we wanted, still no sign of any staff appearing to our table although various staff members saw us sitting us there still on an empty table. We tried various times to get their attention to no avail. Finally decided to leave without someone even making the attempt to check why we're leaving etc. Worst service I ever encountered. Definitely not going to...
