K Sixty Seven Swords — Restaurant in Fingal

Well, don't know when to start, Yesterday as it was a nice evening I decided to go out in swords with my younger brother and his friend, we stopped for dinner and then we went to K sixty Seven, a place that I have been once and actually liked as it is a nice environment, and very good looking Restaurant/Pub, good food, and very nice staff. Unfortunately, sadly and embarrassing I faced a very unpleasant situation when we arrived at the door, we were automatically barred entrance from one of the bouncers at the door, very politely I tried to understand the reason as I am aware every pub might have there own rules and we all tend to respect and follow. When I asked the bouncer if there was any specific reason why we weren't allowed in he told us that he didn't know us and that only regulars were allowed in which I could definitely understand if that was previously advertised or even published somewhere to make people aware. While talking to my brother about the situation I could clearly see people getting in with no issues, I was trying to see if there was any ticket required or even age restrictions even though they never asked us for ID. We hadn't been drinking any alcohol, we weren't causing any trouble or being loud, nothing, we just walked to the door while chit chatting between each other and that happened. We happened to meet another bouncer which tried to explain the reason they didn't allow us in. What he told us left startled, he told me that they are trying to avoid trouble makers, this was said to 3 african men, me my brother and his friend. I didn't and I never brought up that the fact he was telling us that is because we were black, my education wouldn't allow me to bring that up even though that's what came to my mind,and also didn't want to believ it. h He also mentioned that they wanted keep that place posh, and for the elite people which made me think at why he was bringing that up, was he judging us at this stage? A guy that I could clearly tell he was a foreigner like us. More so, the bouncer that didn't allow us in completely ignored us as if we were not there at all. The company i worked for made reservations there before for a christmas party. I've been there only once, and never had any issues. This kind of things should never happen, I'm 32 years old hard working person, I studied law school i understandhow rules and law works. I'm now working for an airline company, which is probably known by the mannager of the pub, when dealing with this kind of situation makes me very uncomfortable, I didn't know what to say to my younger brother and his friend when facing this kind of judgement, as an older brother I felt like I should be able to explain to them that it wasn't usual for that to happen but unfortunately it was happening to us. I'm not the kind of person that goes out much, but when you think that maybe once in a while is good just for yourself to have some fun you happen to come across with this.

I don't want to say that the place isn't nice because I would involving all staff and that is not true, that only time I was there I was treated as everyone should be treated, just as a normal customer, with respect and dignity.

I have to say that this time I felt judged, discriminated and disrespected. I will for sure avoid going ther again in fear that I would have to go through the same situation. My comment might not get anywhere but I felt i should leave here in case it is a common or regular basis situation. I hope this never happens to anyone.

I also afterwards asked my brother to record a video of people getting in, so we at least had a proof that we were getting denied entrance for no clear reason. And the video was made after I informed politely all the bouncer at the door including the one that barred us, that I would be recording a vídeo of the outside and entrance which they laughed at us like we were being stupid for...

I’d never really complain but I feel like because of how this situation was handled I need to make it known as I tried to handle it privately but was completely dismissed. I went to K Sixty Seven last night for a girls night. I brought my 3 friends along as they had never been before and I had a great night out there a few weeks prior and was dying to show them. When we got there my friend ordered a drink for me and her and as we stood at the bar, we noticed an ice cube was flung from behind the bar across the table at us. We obviously thought this was an accident and of course didn’t say anything. Next thing it became clear it wasn’t an accident. The bar man that was preparing our drinks flung another ice cube with the scoop from the tray over to us. It didn’t hit either of us but we were of course confused as to why he was doing this. He walked off laughing as he continued to make our drinks. Next thing he comes back over, I was about to say something to him when he flung a massive ice cube at me across the counter and it whacked me in the eye and he walked off laughing. As he came back over I confronted him about it where I didn’t even get so much as an apology. He offered us a double shot of vodka for the price of a single as ‘compensation’. I wasn’t only insulted but completely humiliated. I then went and spoke to a manager, who didn’t even have the decency to talk to me properly. The first thing he did was question if it was definitely a bar man who done this and I pointed the bar man out to him. He walked over to him said a word or two while sniggering and shouted across the bar ‘ah I’ll have a word with him’ After being completely dismissed and my eye only hurting more I didn’t want to stay another second in that place. I called the manager over one more time to make him aware of how serious the situation was and how disgraceful it was that he was so dismissive. He offered me and my friends free drinks which I of course declined as I didn’t even want to finish the drink I already had just gotten. We again didn’t even get an apology from the manager. We left straight away feeling very disrespected and upset. I’ve never ever encountered behavior like this from someone I know. Never mind have I ever been treated like this as a paying customer by a member of staff in a busy bar. If it was a customer behaving that way towards a bartender the security guards would drag you out. I am totally aware there are worse situations in the world, but for a random stranger to throw things at a customer across a bar is out of order. God forbid I wore contact lenses or he smacked my teeth. It’s not nice as a young girl to walk into a bar and be treated that way when you’re just heading out for a night out with your friends. It’s even worse for management to not handle the situation properly. Again, I went back up today and met the overall manager where I wasn’t even given an apology. There were excuses made that the member of staff is a ‘fill in’, but again no sign of them being apologetic for what happened. I shouldn’t have had to go up and see what happened, the manager I initially spoke to should have taken me aside spoken to me and taken my number to follow up with me. My whole lash line was roaring red, tender and swollen last night. I would have let this go had management handled the situation properly but it is safe to say I will never ever step foot in that place again and would like to make people aware of how they may be treated if they decide to have a night out there. If the issue was resolved properly by managers I’d have felt a lot better leaving but their handling of it made it 10...

Was not going to write a review of our experience until I saw the overwhelming amount of similar reviews regarding the bouncers! On June 6th, around 7pm on a Friday, our family decided all to go to K67 to celebrate my parents wedding. The youngest being my brother, who is 20 years old. He also had valid ID. Everyone else who arrived to the door was over the age of 21 (by a lot.. mostly over 35..) We got to the door and straight away the bouncers (4 of them on the door on a Friday) stared down my brother and demanded to see his ID, which he provided. Bouncers then said ‘21s only’ and tried to refuse us all entry, because my brother was 20.

Before a generated reply.. no one was intoxicated, or wearing incorrect clothes. He was in a suit and suit shoes, as he was just at a wedding meal…

When explained, that legally, as it’s before 9:30pm and they’re still serving food we should be allowed in, only then did they let him enter, but said ‘we’ll be kicking you out at 9:30’ direct quote. And considering how strict they were at the door, I was shocked walking in to see multiple kids, under the age of 12, running around the place. And then when the live music started, the musicians gave a shout out to a girl whose 16th birthday it was! And to top it all off, that exact 16 year old was still there at 11pm that night….

This isn’t a reflection of the bar or floor staff, who I have always found to be incredibly nice and helpful. But the bouncers at the door seem to think they’re running a military operation… not a local pub

And after seeing these reviews, it’s obvious this is a known issue that’s clearly being disregarded by management here. The place was not even that busy on the Friday, and as a local and after speaking to many people of this experience, lots more people have had similar issues!

Seriously hope this is looked into by management… but seeing the countless reviews regarding the bouncers, doubt anything will be...
