A good Bartender knows when to cut them off … when to say; “Look my friend, you’ve had enough”

Richard Watkins is not just an exceptional Bartender, Rich is a friend who knows how to keep a fun, safe and enjoyable environment not only wherever he goes but in the establishment where more than most people would ever begin to understand.

The Blarney Stone is in a very accessible location in Downtown Seattle adjacent to the infamous ‘Pike Place Market which means that on any given evening or night it can get a whole lot of people stepping in for wines and spirits.

Of course it’s an Irish Pub so whatever delights your taste and drinking pleasure is most likely in a bottle or can waiting to fill your glass and you already know … Irish people can throw down some food so there better be a menu for food as well (Which there is) but you don’t have to be Irish to have a good time especially when Richard is at the helm.

Everyone who works there are extremely good at what they do because the owner, Martha​ G. makes sure of it. She surrounds herself with not just well qualified employees but great people as well. In other words you have to be a special kind of person to work in this special kind of place.

We all know that Bars, Pubs, Lounges and anyplace of the sort are Businesses which means that money has to be made to keep the doors open. However at the Blarney all money ain’t good money.

At some drinking spots when a person spends their money and gets too drunk they either put them out or call them a cab but in such a great friendly like environment like the Blarney the customers are treated like family.

Unless the person is extremely unruly or gets belligerent, it’s almost like being at home but the only option that they don’t have is to go to bed. Nevertheless they do take good care of their patrons so they can make it home safely to sleep in their own beds.

A man was intoxicated but not overwhelmingly drunk; he was slurring his words but it would have taken someone close, a sobriety test or an experienced professional to tell the difference and that was the call which Mr. Watkins made despite the fact that the customer offered a huge tip for one more drink.

Richard said to the customer; “It’s not about the money, it’s about you as a customer, be cool, chill out and I’ll grab you something to eat” then the man put a larger number on his offer and Rich said; “My Love and caring for my customers is not for sale, please let’s get you something to eat my friend” ... Priceless!!

The man thanked him and said; “Even my real friends wouldn’t have cared like this”. Whatabeautifulthing!!

Our Life Is All We Are Because We Are. Living Life, Teaches...

I have been frequenting your bar for quite a while now. I've never had any issues and have become quite friendly with all patrons and most employees.

Tonight however you have lost a customer for life. As I was waiting in line to use the bathroom, your coveted Chef Oz approached me and threatened me claiming "he was going to end my life tonight". As shocked and shaken up at I was I entered the bathroom. He then attempted to kick down the door for the entire time I was in there. As soon as I exited the bathroom your head chef grabbed my head and tried to smash my face on the edge of the bathroom sink.

Thankfully I had called a few friends that were with me and they were there to help remove this crazed individual from "trying to end my life". After I graciously paid my tab ( which I don't feel I should have) I exited the building only to be attacked again. I was told it would be best to leave this establishment for my safety.

As I did this he slapped and assaulted another patron of your establishment. I will be filing a police report and also posting this on all social media pages as a review.

I've never talked to nor met this...
