Terrible experience in OSTJG. Had spent a lively afternoon there with my girlfriend and another friend. Met a couple of tourists and were having a pleasant drink, when a member of staff came over and said 'I'm taking this table'. To which we looked at eachother in astonishment and laughed as it was surely a joke. We had spent 5 maybe 6 hours and hundreds of euro's and were told to vacate the table as they needed the space, and we wouldn't be served any more drinks!! After asking for the manager, who accroding to all staff wasn't there, we left and will never return. So if you like to be treated like rubbish in a faux irish bar, with horrible staff, then this is the place for you! Otherwise, try The Temple Bar (bar on temple bar), just as touristy, but always friendly staff and plenty of chat.
