点评:The food and of course the beer was quite good and the music (Irish band Gaelic Mishap) was especially good! Now for my gripe. My wife and I are in our 70’s and she rarely drives so she does not always carry her drivers license (or passport) with her. Apparently the folks at Guinness check licenses on everyone at the entrance and would NOT accept the digital copy of her license, which we showed him on her iPhone. Now of course I think my wife is beautiful but only a severely sight-impaired person would confuse her with being less than age 21 years! We asked to see the manager who said “those license photographs are altered all the time so we can’t accept them”. So she received the “mark of shame”, a black “X” mark with a Sharpie on her hand so they could be sure she was not ordering or drinking alcohol. I would like to,add that both ourselves and the Guinness personnel were quite polite throughout the “failed” process so no complaints there. But a round trip of 2 hours to retrieve her license did not seem reasonable since we would miss so much of the band so we just suffered our fate but I will tell you that this policy affected our enjoyment of the facility and it will likely be quite a while before we return.
翻译:食物当然还有啤酒都相当不错,音乐(爱尔兰乐队Gaelic Mishap)也特别棒!不过我有个不满之处。我和妻子都70多岁了,她很少开车,所以并不总是随身携带驾驶证(或护照)。显然,健力士酒厂的工作人员在入口处会检查所有人的证件,他们拒绝接受我们用iPhone给她展示的驾驶证电子版。当然,我觉得我的妻子很漂亮,但只有视力严重受损的人才会误以为她不到21岁吧!我们要求见经理,他说:“那些驾驶证照片经常被篡改,所以我们不能接受。”于是她被标记上了“耻辱标记”——有人用记号笔在她的手上画了一个黑色的“X”,这样他们就能确保她不会点酒或饮酒了。我真希望……需要补充的是,在整个“不成功”的办理过程中,我们和健力士的工作人员都很有礼貌,因此在这方面并无任何怨言。不过为了取回她的证件,我们需要往返耗费2个小时,这会让我们错过乐队的很多演出内容,实在不太合理。我们只能无奈接受这一结果。不过可以肯定的是,这项规定大大降低了我们体验该场所的兴致,估计要过很久我们才会再来了。
