O'Neills, Richmond

I used to be a real regular in this pub but won't be making a return after last night.Following a stupid que at 8.15 when the pub was still half empty we got in to face the compulsory 20 minute wait to get served.The mini bar on the dance floor was shut,no floor servers and the end of the bar facing the main drag had no one serving.At 10 pm i wanted to have a cigarette and attempted to go out the side door.An eastern european sounding doorman with blond hair said he was shutting this and i had to go to the front.He then tried to slam the doors shut to which my mate jokingly said 'give it some welly' he then turned around and near enough stuck his face in my mates shouting 'shut up.shut up' in a loud aggressive tone.

This was unnacceptable conduct showing a complete lack of people skills and was basically trying to goad my mate in to a reaction.We both moved away and i noticed for the next half an hour he had eyes contantly on us.At 10.40 we drunk up and went and won't be coming back.
