I was at O'Shea's Sunday to watch the Eagles game. I am sure the truth does lie somewhere in the middle. The Men's room was filthy BUT we are talking about a sports bar around half time of a football game with many half drunk guys missing the urinal and tossing their used paper towels on the floor half the time. Should the staff keep a person IN the bathroom to monitor it? I think not. Should they clean up a little more often? Probably so, because I am sure they are aware how messy it gets on a football Sunday. My wife used the Ladies room and reports all was fine there. Hmmm guys are slobs who woulda guessed? We have been there every Sunday since mid September same same each week. Do we return? Of course, they have the NFL ticket. As far as the wait staff? Hit or miss, this week a very sweet friendly young girl took care of us who should not make being a waitress her life's ambition because she was terrible. Couldn't find her for long periods she forgot about our drink order while our food got cold etc Hopefully she is a student and will more on. Other weeks however the wait staff has been outstanding. But they probably put on more staff on Sundays for the games and they may not be the best trained. If the "manager" we are speaking og is the older gentleman who is usually at the door he seems friendly enough and warmly greets patrons as they enter and usually has the air of someone who is REALLY busy (imagine that at a sports bar on Sunday)
So the moral of my story is if you want a pristine fine dining experience DON'T go to an Irish Sports bar on a football Sunday. I f you want a few sloppy beers, some good inexpensive Irish themed food in a fun atmosphere then go to O'Sheas on Sunday just expect a Rowdy but fun experience. And guys try to hit the urinal once in a while!

I saw a sign in the men's room: "Our aim is to keep this place clean. Your aim helps"!

I think this thread is like getting a divorce. There's her side of the story, his side of the story, and the truth".

My son works in the hotel managemet industry and an unclean bathroom is unacceptable A spotless bathroom is acceptable. I have been in bars where people have been so busy, no one is delegrted to clean up bathroom messes. Because of sanitary reasons, like running out of toilet paper. is something i would have mention to management in apolite way. Name calling is childish and over the top behavior for anyone. We don't know what was said and how it was said that started this bruhaha.

So is it unusual to be bounced from a bar in TV
Not that it has ever happened to me

[graciegirl]

If you want clean-er toilets, go to Bob Evans. They don't have a liquor license. Not that there is anything wrong with liquor. I just never could get the hang of it.

Restaurants and Bars fail all the time. Poor Management is the most common culprit.

When I see some part of a Pub or Restaurant that looks neglected and dirty, including the restrooms, I wonder what the kitchen is like in terms of cleanliness, food safety practices, etc.


Watch a few episodes of Bar Rescue.

That will give you some perspective on the matter!

Livesea, I think you nailed it.

I have tried to this place three times and no more, besides being dirty, poor service and bad food I and my friends no longer support this place....

Bar Rescue would give perspective about food service about like professional wrestling would give perspective about the martial arts.

Okay so I should have waited to hear the other side from the Manager.

I still feel a filthy bathroom is totally unacceptable.

After having read many reviews I would NOT try this
Place - sorry!

[Bonny]

I have to say, we go there quite often. I don't know what goes on in the men's room, but the women's is always clean. A lot of our friends go with us and neither them or my hubby has ever had an issue about the men's room.

Problem here is whether the bathroom is filthy or are the people using this facility filthy? How often have any of us used a bathroom early upon arriving at an event or for dinner or even shopping and found the restrooms to be satisfactorily cleaned and to step in an hour or two later and look at the trash job.

Should commercial establishments be required to keep fulltime personnel on staff to maintain bathroom facilities for the lazy, sloppy people who think nothing of leaving a total mess? I don't know what has happened to the US population but I don't think I've ever seen such lack of respect people have for themselves and the property of others.

In our state and certain counties, people 18 years and older could drink. The 18 year old bars never, after a long Friday or Saturday night crowd being served, had restrooms that were trashed like those in The Villages after a busy day or evening.

If you drop a hand towel or some tp on the floor, pick it up and toss it. If you slobber water and soap all over the surfaces, give a quick wipe with the towel you used to dry your hands. Ladies, put your butts on the seat and stop watering the surfaces for the next patron, geez! Gentlemen, if the situation requires you to sit and not use the urinal, swallow your pride and sit. Maybe we all need to be a little more respectable and responsible for ourselves and not expect someone else to clean up after us.

This could be another whole thread BUT the ladies dressing rooms in stores are another burr under my saddle. In all my years I haven't seen such slovenliness from the female gender. Have most of the women on the planet forgotten how to rehang clothing, zip it up or button it and carry it out of the dressing room and replace it on the rack or hang it on the return rack? It's so nice to see clothing inside out, in a heap and all over the sitting surface and floor of the dressing room. What happened to personal pride?

Peachie---you have addressed things that bother me too. Another is the movie theater---- My husband and I go at least once a week---Brownwood mostly because the seating is wonderful-- At least 85% of the attendees are Seniors---lots of popcorn, drinks, candy, nachos and hotdogs consumed. When we get up to leave, I cannot believe the amount of boxes, wrappers and even drink cups that are left on the floors for the theater workers to clean up. Trash cans are abundant---I certainly don't understand!

I still operate as I was taught in Boy Scouts over 50 years ago when we were taught about being " good campers " .
" If you carry it in then carry it out ".
Sad to say but most men are slobs . It takes so little to be careful and considerate in a Men`s Room or a Movie Theater .
