The Celt - Used to be good

I have drunk in The Celt in Talbot street a few times for the last 10 years. It used to be a pub with good craic and live music. However last Friday after two rounds and still two glasses of beer not finished we were asked by the barman if we were ok, it was 9:30, we were 6 people and we were kind of waiting for the music to start to make up our minds whether to stay or go, we were also considering to have dinner there,so the answer to the barman was that we were ok for the moment and to my surprise his answer was that the seats we had could be taken by people who were drinking. Basically he threw us out and so we left without believing our ears.Nearly 20 years frequenting pubs in Dublin and this is the first time this occurs to me. If you are looking for a pub in Dublin there much better ones than the Celt in Talbot st. or at least friendlier. Slainte
