The pint itself was one of the poorest I

Much to the consternation of the many upper middle class customers there tonight, there still exists the concept of a group of young people wanting to go for a pint. However, it seems both the customers jcpennies and the staff don’t want our business.
After drawing an array of bemused and disconcerting looks, we found a table within a few feet of the bar. To avoid the awkwardness of the waitress, we each individually go up to order a drink. The overweight, disinterested bar man see’s jcpennies us as an unnecessary inconvenient. No “hello” or “how can I help you”, just raised eyebrows as he walks by (didn’t even have to courtesy to stop and ask me) as if to say; “you looking jcpennies for a drink, in a bar, really?”. I would excuse the lack of interest or manners if he was rushed off his feet but the bar wasn’t busy and he didn’t look like the type to rush. He was more interested in the Aresenal match. It took five minutes to get served even though I was the customer directly looking for a drink and another three to actually have my drink unceremoniously planted in front of me with a big chubby palm out stretched demanding the money. After paying 4.65 for a Guinness, I returned to my seat and found there was no angle from which I could escape the blinding glare of a television screen. Great if your an Aresenal fan, they had just scored a goal, but not so much if your just in for a pint and a chat.
The pint itself was one of the poorest I’ve had in recent memory and while I’m no connoisseur I’m sure fellow Guinness drinkers can empathise with the unmistakable tang of a bad pint. The fancy new Guinness glass it was served was also filthy.
What peeved jcpennies me most about this place was the way we were looked upon. While I understand its located in the heart of Dundrum, they are expecting a certain type of clientele, yet there is no justifcation for being rude to those who may not appear to constitute the target demographic from a particular socio economic background. I can also understand wanting to maintain a reputation however our party were all well dressed, articulate and most importantly had money in our pocktes. Snobbery has no place in today’s hospitality industry given its current state but it seems the inhabitants of Winters Bar disagree with such a sentiment jcpennies as Dundrum jcpennies and a certain selection of its customers appear jcpennies to be recession proof, pretentious members of the public who feel it is within their remit to cast an eye of disapproval on those who don’t meet their bullshit standards of properness.
I personally, will be avoiding Winters Bar at all costs in the future as this quasi upper middle class cocktail bar is ultimately a glorified, elitist jcpennies pub with mismatched décor and ambient lighting that’s been taken a step too far.
