Great fun
The area itself was absolutely fantastic, although on the pricey side but this was to be expected. My friends and I went into temple bar, it was very busy even on a Monday night but the atmosphere was brilliant and very lively. We all had a lovely time except (and I don't like to do this - I never have before but I was so suprised I feel the need to comment) the young lad behind the bar who served me was in an awful mood. It spoilt my experience a little bit - he was very unfriendly, insisted my friends and I order and pay as a group because he didn't want to take the orders separately but this wasn't very feasible as the drinks are very expensive and we all had limited money stored on our cards used for travel. He aggressively gestured at his ear and huffed when I was putting the collective order in and he later laughed at me when my card was declined. My friend asked him why that was funny and he shrugged at us. It's a shame really because everyone else in there was really lovely, including the other bar staff. I think perhaps on a busy night the staff can get a little overwhelmed which is completely understandable but its a shame to take it out on a group of girls only staying the one night. Despite that, I would definitely go again.

Watch your drinks please
Really disappointed. The atmosphere was really good and the bar itself looked lovely. I ordered a mojito which was on their cocktail menu made with bacardi white rum. I watched him make it with Havana club spiced rum and when I questioned him he said 'oh well do you want a new one?' I said yes because I don't like spiced rum. He made another one which I did watch him put in 70ml of bacardi white rum, but he then went behind into a back room and came back out with a full glass. I tasted absolutely no alcohol in this, neither did my mum or dad. I'm 100% positive there was no alcohol in my cocktail I paid €14.50 for. Please watch your drinks being made!!!
