I started going here when I moved to Dublin and Danielle was nothing but kind, friendly and inviting which made Dub Pub our regular spot whenever we wanted to get a drink or some quick food and around the holidays we hadn’t been for awhile. We started coming back recently and often with more and more friends as I believed this was a fun spot and enjoyed the bar here. But every time I have been in recently the bar tenders are beyond drunk and can’t comprehend your order or they are genuinely terrible at their jobs and will just hand you whatever they feel like making. I have been a bartender for 5 years and the one thing you need to know how to do is remember a drink or a food order you were JUST told and be kind to the patrons. On top of these bartenders having no knowledge of how to be behind a bar they are the rudest service industry people I’ve ever come across and will ignore new patrons/ woman and cater to men/regulars. I understand every bar needs its regulars but how do you expect to uphold a profitable and well regarded establishment when your bar back and bartenders are routinely treat new people like they are not important. I’ve always tip well despite the awful service, because I understand people may have a bad day…. but EVERY time? They also have people who DO NOT work there behind the bar, taking drink orders, cleaning etc. WHILE they are hiding behind the pillar in the corner taking shots. For example one of the men who was “bar backing” told my friends and I he does not work there. Then later in the evening threatened me and called me racial slurs as well as the b word.. but I guess he can’t be held accountable? All and all this establishment would be wonderful if they hired sound employees who have worked as bartenders before and were kind to new and...
Read moreKelly was terrible, she must have been drunk or on something, couldn’t find the expiration on my girlfriends id, barley looked at mine, then proceeded to be extremely rude and ignoring us, we ordered the same drink 3 times and each time she’d looked at me like I was stupid and I’d have to repeat the order multiple times. Constantly touching on some guy at the bar and shit talking about customers to him and I’m pretty sure she paused the jukebox on us. On the other hand Danielle the night before was amazing and very sweet and the pizza and kitchen staff were great. Will be walking right back out the door if I come in to Kelly serving again...
Read moreDidn't rate food since I've never tried it. Would be worried about freshness of food though since this place is known mostly for drinking. Basic pizza and sub menu but their kitchen isn't big so who knows. Bartender was drinking and didn't notice me or come serve a drink for 5 minutes+ even though there were less than 15 people in the place. Thursday night and it's pretty dead. My how this crowd and place has changed because it used to always be packed and now it's kind of sad.
Also of note the competitor bar across the street was absolutely packed on this same day. It's Xmas so I can imagine a...
