My rant is over but its something I need to get off my chest after my night out in there over the weekend - Im with Jennifer above who also expperainced the same rude behaviour back in February !

Curtains, good P.A., atmosphere and people up for a good time completely wasted without live music. Yes, I know they do some jazzy stuff on Sundays 7 to 9. Not enough. With THAT stage in the premises, to have only one evening-ish gig on Sundays is preposterous at the very least the place looks great, but it’s a waste of a great looking stage if that’s not used for music at least 4 times a week.

The fact that the drink does increase after a certain time is a pain.. but i know it happens in most of the late night bars. Throw back to the early days of the Brog/Gorbys (boo-hoo). Nice mixture of a crowd Will be going back, didnt like the fact that it took me 20 min to go to the loo. The female toilets are very narrow, and the space between the cubicles and the mirrors(where they were all fixing there face) is tiny.. I am not a big girl but i would like to be able to wash my hands properly without being crushed against the cubicle door!! But I will be back. I was in the Crane Lane Saturday night, great spot.

It is very hard to clear a crowd from a bar that size, more often that not you ask nicely for people to move outside and finish there drinks and they dont even acknowledge you have spoken to them. Ok, they usually have a few drinks inside them which we do take intto account but there comes a time when you have to shout to make people uncomfterble in there surroundings to get them to move, i would like to know what time it was when you said we will be just a minute?, what if all 400 people said that? you have a full bar still at 2/3 am and thats when licence laws come into play. If he was rude to you, well theres no excuse but my expeience of the crane staff is top class, they are very proffesional at what they do, look at the reardens door staff!!! terrible attitude and long island also, completely stuck up there own arses, the crane allows most dress senses in there without singling anybody out and a diverse mix of age groups. The staff at reardensare just gloryfied pig farmers who have no clue about city fashions, life or culture, i heared a story form one lad who was wearing shoes, smart dark jeans, a shirt and leather jacket, he went for a smoke out front and the doorman wouldnt let him back in as he had an earing in his left ear!! he said he could go in again if he took it out, a mall stud type for gods sake. When he questioned his judgment the doorman refused entry until the head doorman appeared, he allowed him back in, the other doorman then stood near him when he passed and told him to leave the attitude at home next time!!!!!! Long island wouldnt let a friend of mine in as he said him and his mate had had a few to many, thats fair enough i guess, but the week after he was in there with his girlfrined and got nothing but stares off the doorman when he realized he was in there, the doorman at that place i find ver protensious, boot cut trousers, collars turned up on a suit jacket, its almost as though he thriveson being stood on the door staring at people, full of attitude.....so ask yourself..are the crane security really that bad?

I can appreciate that it can be difficult to get people out of the bar after an enjoyable evening with a few drinks. However, there is never an excuse for aggressive, threatening behaviour. A bouncer actually interrupted a conversation between myself and a friend roaring at the top of his voice, “time please, move out towards the door”. I took a sip of my glass of water and said, “ We will be out in just a minute thank you”. Then, putting his face two inches from mine he shouted in the most intimidating, bullying manner, “ are you giving me attitude”. I have never been treated as a customer in such a fashion. I was horrified and revolted and feel this man, whose name I found to be [name removed by admin], should not be working in this type of job. His workmates were clearly ashamed of his bullying behaviour. I urge Benny McCabe to give this bully his notice.
