Not a bad place for a quick drink before moving on. Staff are all pretty friendly but the manager should pay more attention to the way his customers behave when they're standing outside the pub or hanging out the windows making crude comments to people walking by or urinating in the alleyway. and just in case he isn't aware, you're customers aren't supposed to be walking around outside drinking. i've actually seen them giving the doorman at long island aggro too while the manager stood there watching and let them re-enter O'Neils straight afterwards. Hope he doesn't expect any help from the long island doorman in future as i doubt he'll get it.

Long Island is a friendly and well run establishment. The Door Team are professional and thorough which is why it is one of the safest and most trouble free venues in the area. Sorry Bruno but it sounds to me like you failed to understand the door policy at Long Island. No Identification, No admittance. It is not a matter of age but proof of identity, hence why you aren't asked how old you are but whether or not you have ID as you would have been told. It was never stated as the law but as a police initiative that has been very effective. For example. If you were to have an accident or to be involved in an altercation of some kind inside the venue and there was no one around to identify you, the only way the door supervisors would be able to identify you would be via photographic ID. ie, your driving license or passport.It obviously hasn't failed as you suggested, hence the fact that you had no ID therefore you were unable to enter...enough said. I for one am glad that such measures are being taken to ensure that the customers and staff are able to enjoy themselves in a safe and well run environment and i will continue to choose Long Island as my number 1 night out. Good Music, Good Staff and professional security team.......

A good example of a venue who's security staff do not search people on entrance or check for ID. The result of this is an average of 4 maybe 5 ambulances outside every Friday and Saturday night. I don't think i've ever seen an ambulance outside Long Islander. You do the math! Looks impressive inside but it'ds full of wannabe hardmen...
