'Lo folks, been a while <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I'd actually been going to ask if anyone had been in the B&C on Saturday and could clear something up for me, but IIRC the B&C lads (or Geoff at least) read the forum, don't they? So maybe they can answer directly, which'd be better <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

A few friends of mine were in the pub on Saturday when (and this is a direct quote) "one of the staff got shirty with

over his examining of a tray hung on a wall, and ended up throwing him out." It just seems so utterly out of character for any of the staff that I've met that I was wondering if there'd been crossed wires or something.

Apparently at the same time something more serious necessitating the arrival of the Gardaí happened, so it may have been that said staff member simply was a bit wired and stressed about other shit going on, but I've been trying to soothe my friends' offence and explain that that was very unusual and not to judge the pub on that (after promoting it to them for ages), so, em, anyone know what happened?

I don't know what happened but it would be wrong to judge a bar based on what sounds like a really manic night for the bar staff. It's always unfortunate to be thrown out of a bar, especially for no reason. But the bar staff clearly thought that there was reason. Things do sometimes get hectic for bar staff least we forgot. They're not all doing shots, romancing the ladies, and throwing bottles around Cocktail style. And the more drunk we get the more they have to put up with, regardless of any threat of misbehaviour. Any barmen reading this will attest to that.

Put the night behind you <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Bring your friend along to the B&C another time. Treat him to a long cool stein of your choice and I'm sure he'll forget all about it <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Have the B&C any new beers on draught BTW?
