Famous Dublin pub Whelan's hits back at one-star 'ugly burgers' review - despite not serving food

A popular Dublin pub has hilariously hit back at a one-star review on their food - despite the bar not serving grub at all.

Whelan's on Wexford Street were taken aback to receive the unusually low scoring rating for their establishment on Google on Tuesday morning.

But the bar staff were left doing a double take when the review slated their burgers even though Whelan's have never ever served food, Dublin Live reports.

The one-star review under their Google rating simply said: "Ugly small burgers, blah."

The bar weren't long snapping back at the review saying: "The chef will be devastated. Oh wait! We don’t have one. Or serve food. We do serve booze. Maybe he was seeing things. Ugly small things."

One of the bar staff said: "Google Business notifies us of any reviews on Google. Anything below a three star and the bat phone goes off in head office."

But the workers were soon left scratching their heads and described the review as "just another day in the mad house".

They also gave one more dig to the reviewer when they posted a picture of a box of King crisps and said "this week's menu has just been delivered".
