O'Neills, Richmond

Last Friday I went for a drink with my friends. I don�t usually go out on Fridays, as I am tired from a busy week. We got to Richmond at around 8.30ish and went for a drink by the river in the Vibe bar. A great pub and friendly staff. The crowd wanted to try somewhere else so we went to O Neils. The first thing I noticed was the average age of the people, certainly many where under age and very drunk. It took ages to get served at the bar. As my friend was getting the drinks in I decided to go outside with a friend for a crafty smoke. On finishing I walked towards the door behind my friend. The bouncer stopped me saying I couldn�t come in because I was drunk. I had had three pints of beer and certainly wasn�t drunk. When I confronted the bouncer to give me an explanation for his actions he pushed me away quite firmly. Refused to let me in. I ended up waiting out side for an hour and a half for my friends. This bouncer was not English and spoke with an ascent and looked Turkish dark eye�s . He was rude and completely lacking any form of education in the job he was doing.
