Safety

SAFE SPACE POLICY

As an events and hospitality venue, we want to ensure that everyone feels safe when in our venue. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any acts of transphobia, misogyny, homophobia, racism, sexism, harassment, or any other form of discrimination. With this policy, we aim to create a safe space for all of our customers who respect each other and the staff.

If you or anyone you see is being made uncomfortable by another person’s actions, please alert a member of staff or security immediately. This behaviour will not be tolerated.

We want everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves in our venue, but be respectful towards others and look out for yourself and one another.

LOOK OUT FOR OTHERS

Within our spaces, we want to create a neighbourhood watch-style approach. We all need to take care of each other & check in with friends. If you see someone in a situation which you may feel seems ‘off, ’ reach out to them & check in on them. We all need to look out for each other to ensure a safe space.

Go slow, and encourage your friends and group to do the same. There’s no rush; don’t overdo it or encourage it. It’s for the best.

If you feel a situation needs more attention, please alert our crew, security or our night-time safety officer. We always have at least one safety officer appointed per night. They are there to ensure everyone in the venue feels safe and has a good time. If you need help or need to speak to the safety officer, please ask one of our crew, and they’ll direct you to them.

If you or someone you know feels unwell or unsafe, please don’t hesitate to ask for help. You will not be in trouble at all, we are here to help completely free of judgment.

SPIKING

In Ireland & the UK, there has been an increase in the number of reports of spiking. Because of this, we occasionally do bag & full-body searches of anyone entering the venue.  This is to ensure the safety of all of our patrons. Spiking can occur through spiking of drinks or a more sinister trend lately of through needle injection. If you think you see anyone acting suspiciously, please alert a member of our crew or the safety officer.

Please do not leave your drink unattended and be careful accepting drinks from somebody you don’t know.

PROSECUTION

If you are found on our premises harming another customer, you will be held until Gardaí arrive & will be prosecuted.
