been out for a few meals of late and on 2 occasions, waiting staff have knocked over drinks - ekk - had great sympathy for them.. no harm done.. seems a lot of places have taken on students - lack of experience etc.. but great that they can get work at least..
serves him right - i'm sure your daughter will have no trouble finding work else where
Hope she finds work quick enough, loads of places advertising. Better for her not to be associated with that low life anyway, for her own sake!
You know the old saying… lie down with dogs..
Well the backlash worked, my daughter sent home today albeit paid along with 12 staff due to lack of bookings. She's lost tomorrow and Monday as well unpaid
Quite a poor reflection of McCarthy's in Glengarriff there. I've been to quite a few places in the city over the past week and all have enforced the rules. Had a delicious meal in the Raven Friday night, it was my first time eating there but I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Service was fantastic also.
Dined in Market Lane over the weekend; normally I think of it as an ok, safe-enough choice; but OMG had the pork-belly starter and it was awesome. Had a half a mind to just cancel the main and ask them to keep the starters coming. The main (steak) was great too.
Not a huge fan of the location (the 'side alley') but the food and staff are still great.
have watched the video since I posted that msg - have had 2nd thoughts as a result - I agree 100% with you.. a stupid heartless man it would seem - shame on him.. will be sure to never set foot inside one of his premises
honestly, I think bringing up the deaths of loved ones as an excuse, actually makes it worse.
While secretly filming someone a publicly posting it is a **** thing to do, this guy is doing himself no favors with his excuses, I think.
I don't believe that he is sorry or that he believes he was wrong in what he said - he's just sorry that he got caught.
Yep thats him.
That’s the video
sorry for his recent bereavements but wow.. thats shocking.. did he own the former Clancy's?
Waterside in Cobh on Sunday was the same - all done properly.
Lovely location, friendly staff - godawful food!
Mad to think both Establishments are at the opposite end of the town and have two completely different views on the new procedures.

Heres the story.
We were at glangariff too and went to Eccles, and were thoroughly checked. Even with scanner.
Cannot recommend the food though
whats the story with The Silver Key guy? And are you talking about the old Clancy's?
Yup.
I have a real problem with businesses that in an instant reaction last year, let go of all of their staff, despite there being a lot of support to retain staff.
Same businesses are now crying that they can't get staff. Well, perhaps if you made an effort to protect your staff, they'd be there for you now!
They’d want to do a lot more than humble pie to pull me in. Bragging about raking in 800k of taxpayer money into his back pocket while paying staff zero. Rejoicing in a pandemic that caused so much suffering. And this from the same fella who laid off the whole staff of Clancys by text.
Wouldnt darken their door in a fit. Showing his true character in public there.
I had indoor drinks in the Bierhaus on Saturday.
Glad to report that everything was done properly. Scanned certs and checked against Id and details of one person taken.
In other restaurant news, I believe that The Silver Quay is doing discounted humble pie in an effort to retain customers!
Was in West cork for the weekend and went to a McCarthy's restaurant in Glengariff yesterday for indoor dining. Masks on and vaccine certs on the phone ready for inspection. Manager didn't even glance at them. Great atmosphere inside there and the food was great!
Went to another pub on Saturday in Glengariff, signs up all over the place for indoor dining people need to have masks and proof of vaccine etc, anyone who went inside didn't have to show any proof. Talking to other friends and family on their experiences, most places don't seem to be enforcing it.
Agreed. Never had a bad meal from there. Try the Jomsom Bedo next time, it's similar to a Balti, but the best Balti you ever had.
Take away from Thali this eve - delicious - the real deal - got a mixed curry - with butterflied whole prawns - they wer massive and so succulent - nan was lovely too - will definitely get food from here again
We had some small plates there a few weeks ago.
Especially liked The grilled watermelon and halloumi. And I'm not a watermelon lover normally.
Ah that would make sense as the photo I saw was off the street, thanks
No on Pembroke street where the entrance is; think they have outdoor seating in the smoking area of crane lane too.
Thanks, is it at the back - struggling to think where they could have it.
Yeah I was there a few weeks ago - it was nice and we were very lucky to get a table on a Saturday - we were just passing and saw a few empty tables so said we'd ask. Had eggs benedict - it was tasty but I don't think anywhere will ever match Liberty Grill for eggs bene!
Just seen photo's of Arthur Mayne's outdoor dining ! - didn't know they had any, is it new ? anyone been
The restaurant I can't wait to get back into is the Glass Curtain
Anyone go for indoor dining/drinking today at any of the places that have been closed all year? I've booked Jacobs on the Mall for the end of the week, really looking forward to it!
