I was really looking forward to bringing my friend to O'Garas. A Roscommon man going into a Roscommon pub who has a fond relationship with the owner. I like to give him a twist because we are fellow county men. I entered with my Roscommon Friend who happens to be disabled on Crutches. This was to be our first drink of the night so had nothing to do with drunkenness. Rocky. Immediately refused us a drink. I can only assume that he presumed my crippled friend was an addict. In reality he suffered a car crash. And is most likely crippled for life. But the rudeness of rocky. Well done lad. It was my local. It will no longer be my local. I would genuinely advise the ownership to consider his position. And you can tell the staff under him don't like him. Typical thick ignorant judgemental man to be honest. Zero empathy. If your from Roscommon. Avoid this place. Until rocky gets the adrian treatment. they dont deserve your custom. They dont deserve anyones custom. Shame on him for refusing a cripple. I had to comfort him outside because he was in tears. Iv never had to do that before. Thanks for that you lovely lovely friendly hero of a man. mulligans next door had no problem serving us. The treatment was literall y atrocious. You dont care because you know the money was coming in and we didnt matter. Half of dublin and Roscommon now know how you treat your own. I apologise to my friend who I invited to Dublin for the way he was treated. Disgraceful. I was never so embarrassed. but you didn't ruin our day. Nor near it.love you Niall apologise about...

He used various different excuses and couldn’t decide on one. Singled out one of us for wearing trainers even though we all were. Claimed we were too drunk (1st pub of the night for us) etc. Another patron on door was looking on in disbelief about his reasoning. He Continued to argue with no reasoning. Held up his umbrella (not sure why he had wasn’t raining? Maybe a weapon?) and pushed us back like he was Hearding sheep. Avoid this place. Far better pubs on the street or even a few cans from centra would be better than...
Read moreMostly frequented by locals, inside a proper no nonsense Irish Pub with a relaxed, warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Out back you will find a good sized outdoor smoking area. There are two tvs located there for watching sport.
The staff are a friendly and welcoming bunch.
Here you'll find a nice place for a quiet pint and a chat or a couple of chapters of a good book and great pints.
Rare enough to find a pub like this so close to the city centre, so savour and support it.
One of many gems in...
