Ryan's Bar — Restaurant in Dublin

If you want to experience hateful discriminatory slurs and bigotry for being different, Ryan’s is the place for you.

The bouncer had no issues with my Irish friends going in, however, once the bouncer “guessed” I was Polish and I showed him my ID, a series of unpleasant comments were passed about where I’m from and what I was wearing (a top, vest and jeans accessorised with chains).
