I’m not familiar with Irish culture, but I’m guessing that there are plenty of pubs to be found in Dublin, so, at the risk of seeming insensitive, allow me to say, Find yourself another pub. That one doesn’t need (or apparently want) your money. If you actually did anything illegal, the police will come get you soon enough anyway.

Contact the owner of the pub and tell him what you told us.

Not sure about the law in Ireland but in America the owner/manager/bar tender has the right to refuse service to anyone and kick anyone out of the bar if they have reason to believe they are doing something illegal or making a scene. In this case its just embarassment that was the result. If this happened in America and your boyfriend got injured then you could have done something or if it was racial.

You don’t have a lot of recourse. About all you can do is not go back to that joint. Pub operators have a lot of discretion when it comes to ejecting people. As long as the person who ejected him did it in good faith then he was within his rights-but he didn’t have to be so unprofessional about it. The tape has likely long since been taped over.

Well, as unfair it may seem, there was nothing you could have done. **** happens at bars. Swallow your pride and move on.

I know this isn’t the answer you want but there’s simply nothing that can be done in a situation like this. Of course you can meet with the owner and explain what happened but he/she can’t do much other than apologize and maybe give you a free drink.

Slap or threaten them with a lawsuit for false accusation and slander.

The least it could do will be to scare them to make sure they get their facts straight and not do that to anyone else…

At least he wasn’t physically hurt.
Take your business elsewhere and get over it.
