McCafferty's Irish Bar, Bicester — Restaurant in Cherwell District

John o leary, claims to be the owner but never wanted to state his name, had to get it off the staff + customers, decided to kick me out of the place because I was of ethnic minority and didn’t suit the environment and/or expectations of the public. I came for a couple drinks with my friends but we all got mistreated and severely stereotyped which is crazy at this day and age. I tried to get the SIA badge number and full name off the security that had physically assaulted me and my friends but never received it. I had asked the security to politely come outside and explain to me why we had been kicked out but received nothing but threats and violence which I never experienced in London. As a bar manager myself I know that it is a legal requirement to state the badge number and full name of all security on shift which I never received. If you are of ethnic minority please avoid at all costs so you don’t go through the same experience as me...

Husband and I went for a beer last night. He was wearing a ball cap and was immediately told to take it off. He did no problem. As soon as we got fully through the door we were asked for our IDs which is no big deal but the ginger man with the beard was rude, held our IDs tightly to the point we had to yank them back and rolled his eyes at us as if he was mad he didn’t catch a couple underage drinkers. Another lady at the bar loudly asked where the guards were. We felt very unwelcome and got rude and nasty looks from the workers. We left immediately and while we used to come here frequently we will most likely not return.

Not every young person is underage or...

Popped in because it was raining, not expecting much from the tiny unassuming frontage to find a Tardis of a pub. Old beams were complimented by great lighting & imaginative decor. It was daytime when we visited so one of the three bars was closed but it was clear that this place got really lively in the evening & was aimed at a younger crowd. There were screens showing sport & fantastic outside space. The pub doesn't serve food sadly, but the friendly staff allowed us to buy some from the takeaways nearby & eat it in the bar with our purchased drinks which were very reasonably priced. I would definitely pop in again next time...
