A late night pint of water?

We don’t want your type here.

A group of eight of us went into Dublin pub Doheny Nesbitt at around 12:30am last Saturday. Seven of us got a drink each and I asked for a pint of water. I was told (fairly abruptly) that they don’t give out glasses of water after midnight, and that I could pay €3 for a bottle of water instead.
The barman wasn’t making any apologies for the fact, and when my friend asked “What if she was the designated driver?”, she got told “I don’t f***ing care” by the barman. I have never experienced this before in a bar or club. I really thought that this kind of greedy Celtic Tiger bullshit had died a few years ago, but obviously not….

Harmless old school barmanship?

Or demented teetotalerphobia?

We may never know.
