Review of Gleesons Bar

The food was great, we ordered the crab fish starter and the gleesons smoked fish as a starter. Both were great but the smoked fish was boiling hot and I wasn t warned beforehand and I burnt my mouth quite badly. The mains were great but the waitress seemed overworked and got my order wrong and had to bring another.

The barman was also INCREDIBLY rude to me and demanded I wear a mask when walking to the bathroom. I asked the waitress about the bathroom before going and she mentioned nothing about this bizarre rule. I ve never had to wear a mask in a restaurant whilst in Dublin. When I told him that I hadn t been informed about this, he was even MORE hostile and said there were signs(?? Signs that I never saw). If it s of that much importance-tell your staff to inform people so we re not yelled at in front of other eating customers. It was humiliating and very unnecessary. Would come again for the food but wear a mask when you need to go to the loo, otherwise you might get publicly harangued!
