Dublin is the capital city of the island of Ireland. Located on the East coast of the country, it is the most densely populated metropolis on the Emerald Isle and home to history and heritage, culture and entertainment.
While Dublin is synonymous with the arts and literature, Irish history and Guinness, it is also often associated with pub culture.
In fact, Dublin is home to around a staggering 772 pubs (accurate as of Feb 2018).
For many people visiting or dwelling in Dublin city, the pub is a leading aspect of the social scene.
The customers mentioned in this article feel a tad different, however. Here are ten hilariously bad Google reviews of Irish pubs in Dublin.

Not in this instance though. Safe to say this is a hilariously bad Google review of an Irish pub in Dublin.
“Literally the worst meal I have ever eaten in my whole entire mortal life. Went in with an absolutely sinister hangover that needed a cure, and so my standards were very very low. And yet I couldn’t eat anything on the plate it was all so disgusting.”

9. The Temple Bar, Dublin 2
Set in the heart of Dublin’s “cultural quarter” the eponymous Temple Bar Irish pub is one of the best known pubs in Dublin.
With a vibrant atmosphere, traditional setting and tonnes of other out-of-towners, many see it as a tourist trap.
This sarcastic customer sums it up his experience:
“Only go here if you’re an American with more money than sense”

1. Grogan’s, Dublin 2
This Google review of this Irish pub in Dublin is funny for numerous.
Firstly, this pub is located in the heart of the city’s “creative quarter”, so we’re not exactly sure what the customer expected. Secondly, Dublin’s art types and poets are what we have been famed for, for generations.
In all in all, is this supposed to be a criticism?
“Too packed with art types and poets”
