As we had a friend home from Australia we decided to reserve a section for Friday Night in Dicey Reillys. At 9.30pm some of my friends arrived including the person who had reserved the section, they were met with a hostile attitude by the security on the door. The security could not find the reservation on the list and were not only rude but also didnt apologise for their mistake. Tables had been reserved inside and security then stopped two of the girls and claimed they were too young despite both having sufficent identification. When the two girls were leaving to go somewhere else, the security made insulting and demeaning comments.
When myself and my other friend arrived at 10.30pm, we were both completley sober as we had both just finished work at 9pm, we were instantly met with a horrible attitude by the doormen as soon as we mentioned we were part of the reservation. The doorman claimed we both had too much to drink. This was completely untrue as we both had not had any alcohol at any point. While trying to explain this, both bouncers were allowing people who were actually very obviously intoxicated and in casual clothing into the pub.
As we were being met with a hostile attitude by this particular doorman, I asked politely to speak to the manager. Having been made wait outside for ten minutes we eventually got to speak to a manager called George. He was very polite and actually said if it was up to him myself and my friend could have went into the pub as we both did not appear intoxicated to him at all but he could not go against the security on the door. We then contacted our ten friends who were inside and brought our custom elsewhere. While waiting outside though, the doorman began making disgusting insults to one of our friends who had been inside.
Not only did the bar lose twelve peoples custom, who had all arrived sober, were all in the mid to late twenties and appropriately dressed but we had gone to the trouble of reserving an area so we could enjoy the night. To have this happen at the beginning of a night out and been met with such a disgusting attitude from the doorman who frankly was a very bad judge of character considering the drunken people they were allowing in. It would appear the particular doorman took somewhat of a personal grudge against our group and did everything in his power to try ruin our night. My friend books a lot of corporate events for her job in Dicey Reillys but after the treatment we recieved, I highly doubt she would consider your establishment for her companies clients again.
If the doormen can be so aggressive and antagonizing to people on the door, I would worry how they handle situations with people who were drunk on any night.
If you want to be met with an attitude from guys who takes the fact their working for €9.50 an hour out on everyone, then go ahead but I would strongly recommend anywhere else.
This place is horrendous. Why do people go here? Door staff awful, bar staff awful, drink, you guessed it awful- granted it’s cheap sometimes and the beer garden is nice and the place is clean but honestly the place needs an attitude readjustment.
