The Oarsman — Restaurant in Dublin

Used to be a decent place but has gone downhill. The last time I visited, they would only accept cash, despite there now existing 3 forms of payment. If you had a card, they would ask you to visit the incredibly dodgy looking ATM downstairs. However if you use you Google or Apple Pay, you're out of luck and won't be able to pay.
