"Philomena's Irish Sports Bar Kitchen in Covent Garden allegedly an Irish Bar, the hint is in the name They had the Everton game on and would not change to the 6 Nations Rugby game, Wales v Ireland until the football was over. Three Tv s showing the Everton game all 3 within less than 5 metres of each other and they refused to change to the rugby. So we missed the first 10 minutes of the Irish game. Please save me from the excuses, staff could not be bothered to sort it out, could have simply organised it so we could have enjoyed a competition that comes once a year but no, couple with the fact that they played music most of the time it’s says it’s a sports bar , it advertises the 6 Nations , its an Irish Bar so show the Irish match Show the sports that it advertises including the build up up and the half time analysis, people have travelled some a long way to enjoy the game with fellow supporters. Please no excuses and say the match was on 2 or 3 otherTVs The right hand side needs TVs too. Customers who wanted to watch the Everton game, tell them its only showing on one TV all others will show the rugby match , not that difficult or avoid the whole debate and don't show other sports until after the Irish game If the English game was on at the same time wondered what would have happened ? Do you think Irish supporters would have objected , dont think so. Simply inform everyone that the match is on at the scheduled time so any other sports take 2nd priority. So I would strongly recommend to give the ‘Irish Sports’ bar a width berth and head either across the road, big pub showing rugby or the Alexander in Clapham. Blue Posts bar Rupert St. Need to find another Irish Bar who show their respect to the fans and not their pockets. Don’t waste your money everyone works hard for their £s on a bar that doesn’t care or deliver on its promise."

"Still no answer to the email sent on June 11th to the email address given to me by bar manager in regard to being over charged. To whom it may concern, I am writing to you as advised by the bar manager at The Shakespeares Head, Holborn on Wednseday night 31st of May, regarding a matter of an error in payment on the night. I went to the bar on three ocassions but noticed after the third time, that I had four charges on my online bank statement. I immediately brought this to the attention of the bar manager, who after a brief conversation advised me to write to yourselves using this email address. I have since been on to my bank to check details and can give you times and the order of drinks I asked for, as follows, At 17.39 I ordered a pint of Helles Belles and was charged £5.49 At 18.45 I ordered a pint of Guinness, a pint of Bud and a pint of San Miguel and was charged £16.75 At 21.18 I was charged £8.75 for something I didn't order and then a minute later, At 21.19 I was charged £12.06 for 1/2 Bud, 1/2 Guinness and a Pint of San Miguel which I had ordered. I believe I was charged in error for somebody else's order, by a member of staff passing me a card machine and then as I my drinks were served I was charged again, for the drinks I actually ordered. At the time it happened i didn't question it as I assumed my first tap had not gone through, as this does happen from time to time but on my way back to the table with my drinks I thought i should check. This is when my online account showed two seperate transactions. I then asked at the bar to speak to somebody about this matter. Please could this be looked into and a refund for the amount of £8.75 of which is the error in question. Regards, Mr. Aidan Daley"
