There definitely are places out there where you can’t hear each other over the music… Is it a way to turn tables over faster when people don’t linger? Anyone knows?
She felt discriminated against for having bad hearing but stayed there for a full dinner and session anyway and decided to leave a 1 star review and sue after?
She was just mortified that she was told no.
If I am in a restaurant and the music is too loud I’ll leave or at the very least see if another table is free.
Not turning down the music is not grounds for legal action.
For those wondering, it was the Mexican place 777 on George Street, Dublin.
Great food, gorgeous place, but the music is definitely too loud for proper conversation.
I was there twice. The first time I went, I really enjoyed it, and loved the food and cocktails.
I went back some time later and we had to leave before ordering ,as we couldn’t hear ourselves think and the staff seemed to think they were too cool to bother coming to our table. It seemed the restaurant was an extension of their social life.
Haven’t been back since, which is a pity, as I really enjoyed the food the first time.
I’m hearing impaired. If I enter a restaurant and the music is loud or I know myself, it’s too busy that I genuinely wouldn’t have a clue what’s going on, I use my legs and leave. It’s really not that difficult. That being said I didn’t read the article but I’m guessing it’s a case if someone couldn’t hear, wanted the music lowered and was told no. Either ways, no one forced the person to go into the restaurant so…
If you went to a concert, would you sue if the music was too loud? Lol unreal
I remember DJing in pubs and clubs and being asked to turn it off/down so they could talk, clearly they are in the wrong type of venue
” Cross-examining the complainant, the respondent’s solicitor, Ms Loughnane, put it to her that the party of five paid for six cocktails, seven beers and food over the course of a two-hour sitting.
“It’s quite a long time and a large bill for someone who alleges they were experiencing discrimination for that entire period,” Ms Loughnane said.
“Yeah, I guess so but what I would say is that during the whole time we were waiting on these plates, we tried to grab the attention of the host. We were waiting to see if the music would be turned down or moved to another table. It was that or either pay the bill and leave, not satisfied … We sort of just endured it,” she said.
“Endured it, six cocktails, seven beers and food from the menu?” Ms Loughnane asked.
“Yes,” said the complainant. ”
I’d be surprised if she wins the case tbh.
Was it during the starter, the main course, the beers or the cocktails that this person felt the most discriminated?.
I cant see the part in the article where she managed to free herself from the chains that were keeping her in the restaurant?.
777 is outrageously loud. It’s all we could talk about after visiting. Food was ok and service was shite.
Well, was it the vibe?
777 is a pretty cool spot, don’t know what people are complaining about in the comments. Yes it’s loud in the bar area, if you wanted quiet, go out to the back area.
The cocktails are excellent, food is fine and obviously it’s expensive for having a really good location.
777 is well known for being a party spot. It’s trash but it is what it is.
I went there a couple years back for their 7.77 Sunday deal. The music was extremely loud and when I asked them to turn it down I was told it was at the lowest volume already 😂😂
The food wasn’t that great anyway 😂
I was there the same day. I’m hearing impaired and I couldn’t hear the music. They turned it down because of some Karen. I told them to turn it back up or I’ll sue. Thank god they saw sense, otherwise I’d have had to eat ma fajitas with hearing ma dua lipa.
As a disabled person who thinks Ireland has a long way to go… this is still a bullshit fishing claim
