Rooney's Irish Pub — Restaurant in Gulfport

1st I definitely wouldn't even give them any stars. I recently went into this establishment for the first time ever and will never go back again and will continue to discourage others to go unless they like getting treated horribly rude to, personally me being a bartender for 20 years would never tell my customer what the bartender there told me. As goes we walk to to the bar and never being there before asked if they had wine and the bartender i think her name was Tracy was extremely rude and extremely downgrading the establishment she works at, and says we are a dive bar we don't have wine very rudely. We stayed for maybe 10 minutes and left. She also couldn't comprehend that I was paying one of my friends tab for him and she wound up ringing both of my friends tabs to my card but I was ready to go anyways so was quicker and great for me to get the heck out there and it took everything I had to even tip her $5. In all I would never recommend this place to anyone and if she's the owner then I see how she gets away with being rude to customers obviously if they not regulars and if she is just a bartender she is hurting your business with being rude and never having repeated clientele.

I do think the security guys im assuming they was, sitting in chairs at the entrance on our way, they was they only good think about that place, super nice and friendly. Maybe they should be the bartenders cus they had great people skills...

I happened to stumble across this bar while exploring Gulfport as I will be moving here in a few months from time of writing.

Was immediately warmly greeted by Sean (Shawn?) One of the owners. I stayed for a few hours and several folks that were clearly regulars stopped by during that time. Sean introduced me to everyone and made me feel welcome and like part of a family there. We had great conversation and he even bought me a beer when I was closing out my tab. I'll 100% be back when...

Edit: This establishment is no longer on the off limits list aboard NCBC Gulfport effective 02 Apr 2023.

Rooney's Irish PUB is an Off Limits establishment for uniformed personnel aboard NCBC Gulfport.

Personal opinion is military bases don't Blacklist establishments that 1 follow the law and 2 promote a positive wholesome atmosphere for its customers.

I hope this establishment is able to make changes to get such a large revenue stream back in its doors whenever the base...
