Terrible

by jamma422

I recently went to the Dubliner for St. Patrick's day. I received terrible service and tipped accordingly only to have the bar tender follow me outside to yell at me about my tip. Also one person made mention of the bathrooms being nasty, they must have heard you because they now simply have porta potties, which are considerably nastier. The long and short is NEVER GO HERE!!!!!

• Pros: None
• Cons: Dirty, Unprofessional Staff, Not a good atmosphere

A Little Bit Frigid for an Irish Pub

by MrCapricorn

There seems to be a younger, unfriendly group staffing the place. There is a frigid atmosphere where I kind of have the feeling like everyone is thinking "Customers are so inconvenient." I bet my girlfriend that she couldn't make our waitress say "Your Welcome" after serving a drink, and I won. I probably would have won the eye-contact bet as well if we had made one.

Side rant: I really wish owners would stop staffing their bars with these kids who think being a bartender is an MTV reality show. I know it's tempting to put a skirt on some eye candy and call her a bartender, but it's just not as good as having a real bartender there. Maybe it will bring in a few dbags to flirt with her, but it's not really worth how much you are going to lose from the heavy and regular drinking crowd. At least put them on days until they learn how to tend.

The bar itself is pretty good. Nice selection of beer and would otherwise be very cozy.

We are in our late 20's and went there about 6 or 7 times before giving up on it. It's just a little too uptight and unfriendly for us.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Seedy at best.

All I have to say is I've NEVER seen a nastier bathroom in my life. If they don't take care of that, what else don't they keep up with? Washing their dishes? I agree with the last guy, the people that work there all seem to have sprouted from the same social reject garden. You expect that kind of social fringe from a dirty dollar beer place, not a bar in that area. Beer/drinks aren't priced low enough for me to subject myself to things like getting herpies from the beer mugs and HIV from the bathroom.

• Pros: It's across the street from a good restaurant.
• Cons: Just look at it.
