Cheers Des.
Every year for the last 10 years on Christmas Eve 8 of us go here for drinks, This year the manager was on a “Power trip” and decided we were too drunk and told us all to leave even though we only had 3 drinks, Between us we normally spend over €1000 for the night, We are all respectable people and none of us were drunk, When I was leaving I even informed the security we were asked to leave and he was shocked also because he knows us well and I do the same job as him. This use to be a great bar but it is now being run into the ground by a manager who has a problem with everyone for no reason.
Bar staff incredible rude, very very slow. Staff spilt drink over pregnant women and no apology. Waiting 45 minutes for a drink. Toilets in poor condition, very loud, small and bad smell of stale beer throughout building. Zero out of 10. Doesn't even deserve 1 star rating.
