The Marker Rooftop Bar in Dublin

13/09/2025: We had a reservation at 9:00 and had just come back from a Cliffs of Moher trip earlier than expected. We stopped by the bar to see if there was space before our reservation, which there wasn’t — no problem. I told the hostess we’d go back to our hotel to change and drop off our things, and I specifically asked her how late we could arrive before losing our table. She told me we had a 20-minute grace period after our reservation time. We returned at 9:08, well within that window, and while our reservation was still held, we were told we could no longer have the bar seats we had originally reserved. She told me I would have had to be there by 8:50 if I wanted my original seats. She didn’t tell me that when I originally asked, and that just doesn’t even make sense . That was disappointing, since sitting at the bar was the whole reason I booked in the first place. When I explained that I had double-checked this exact point before we left, the staff member was dismissive and frankly quite rude about it. The cocktails may be great, but the lack of consistency and the unwelcoming attitude really soured the experience. Unfortunately, because of how we were treated, I wouldn’t return.
