Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had such a fun night here two Sundays ago! Great entertainment, and lovely staff. I also cannot thank the staff there enough as well after they very kindly sent my lost wallet in the post for me after I had one too many baby Guinnesses... really appreciate it, saved me a lot of admin and stress! Thanks so much, amazing establishment with really kind staff.

The security at this club is terrible. We stayed one night in Dublin. They accused us of being too drunk (we weren't) and didn't let us in even though we were polite. They were very rude and I think it was building their ego

Such rude staff on the door, refused me and my friends entry for no good reason. It was my birthday and we were a group of lesbians looking for a safe space and a good time, no one could justify why we weren’t being let in. Used to be fave place but now majorly dissapointed bac use a straight man on the door was on a power trip,

Totally not reccomend. The bodyguards are racist and discriminated me and my friend for being Italian (the blonde bodyguard with short hair said that "Italians are worse than Spanish people", so she clearly doesn't like spanish and italian people). They also said that my normal Zara trousers were a problem even though everybody going inside was very casually dressed (more than me for sure) and several of them entering and going out the club had trousers that were very similar to mine. The bodyguards literally called me poor for some normal Zara trousers, wtf?! I tried to explain to them that this is not the right way to treat people, but in response they were extremely rude and, as I said, racist. I felt very discriminated. I was a regular client, but of course not anymore.

Can you actually go and play bingo? Or is just the name of the show? I'd love to play bingo with some nice drinks and a show (I watched some shows videos on youtube and looks amazing). Thanks!
