I would not recommend visiting here due to the appalling treatment from the staff. Myself and 3 friends came here yesterday for a quiet drink before heading to the airport, but instead we received an awful experience. Upon entering there were a few tables free and we decided to sit in the corner. The table was slightly far away from us so we pulled it closer and then a lady who worked there came over and abruptly pulled it back. She informed us that the table next to us was reserved so we couldn't sit near it and to order drinks we had to go to the bar where they would ID us as we had to be 21. We said that was fine and she walked away. Immediately after she left, an older man who worked there came up to us and asked if we were 23 and to show him our ID's. This was strange as the previous lady had just said seconds ago that we needed to be 21? However this was again fine as we were all 23. Then after showing our ID's he proceeded to tell us that we could only stay for 30 mins. They were clearly trying to come up with any reason for us not to stay there and we got the message that we were not welcome. We left straight after this and went for a drink at a far more pleasant pub...
Read moreIt was a very pleasant summer day in Dublin early evening 7:30pm bar wasn’t busy relaxed clients basking in the last of the days sun. Walked in to order two pints and politely asked for two smithwicks and indicated two with my fingers also anyway he poured one and presented the machine to pay I said oh could I kindly have two actually then he rudely made a face and very abruptly said you should have said two from the start !! I thought that was very amusing as he made it seem like they where giving pints for free or that I was exchanging a coupon he wasn’t happy with or that I changed the order a million times from complex cocktails to complex numbers various beers etc… very pleasant Canadian tourists I was chatting to also heard & disappointed by interaction. I said no that’s ok pls don’t pour it if ur not happy plenty of other pubs with wonderful staff and great atmosphere. Usual 7euro pints crap service don’t get the rational because there is none last time going there don’t recommend plenty of other options around. I must say other staff in my previous visits where pleasant and just normal behaviour u...
Read moreWish zero stars was an option. The staff were incredibly rude as well as discriminatory. I was accused of being drunk and refused service. I tried to explain that I was sober and had not drunk anything alcoholic all day. Was still refused service, and his colleague chimed in saying that they didn't need to give a reason for refusing service. Upon further questions they explained that it was because of my eyes... I explained that I have a condition I was born with, that they move involuntary and I have no control. They were uninterested in trying to understand me. Not once since I was 18 have I been refused service and found the whole interaction very strange. Especially when they carried on serving people in the pub who were clearly drunk. My friends wanted to finish their drinks before we left, during which I was constantly stared at and made to feel very uncomfortable. I never got to try their food or drinks, so I can't comment on that. Based on thier service alone and that they discriminate against people I would avoid this...
