Grainger's Hanlons Corner — Restaurant in Dublin

A phenomenal choice! I'm from Seattle in the USA, and this was hands down the most pleasant experience I have had at a bar in I don't even know how many years. Between my partner and I we tried at least seven cocktails, and every single one was its own culinary experience of robust flavors and surprising twists even for classic drinks. Jessica was running the bar by herself, and she was equally attentive to all patrons, supremely amiable, a joy to chat with, and all around very welcoming. She definitely made our night! The drinks were very reasonably priced (read: unreasonably cheap for the value), and the ambiance was impeccable. Highly highly recommend coming here, and I only wish I were staying in Dublin for longer to be able to come back here...

Very intimidating and not even a smile for his staff...

Such actions should be reported to the appropriate authorities. It is disappointing to see the pub using such dishonest tactics, shame on the owner for compromising the...
