    This was my 2nd time in Karens Diner Dublin. First time 10/10 however i was disappointed this time. (I TOTALLY GET THE CONCEPT OF THE RESTAURANT AND I AM NOT PRUDISH ETC ETC) I took a group here on Sunday to experience this, for the craic, something different. Upon arrival the guy was very good at being rude, but was on his own and the diner was busy, he was welcoming people, doing drinks and serving. *feel cud have done with more staff as it caused the process very very slow. Another staff member came eventually and i recall her from my 1st visit she is funny and extreme rude which is brilliant. I feel this time the overall theme was crude and sexualised more, not rude, funny, ignorant and horrible. All in my group had a hat (I DID NOT GET ONE!!!!!) The slogans on hat were all about sex or bodily fluids. I am not a prune by no stretch of the imagination however i feel it could be more funny and rude.

    Despite us being the only table in there at first the lads Paddy and Marsel still kept us well entertained. We had a great time and were really pleasantly surprised at how nice the food was. Great time, good food, deadly craic, would definitely go again maybe on a Saturday night when the place is a little more lively.

    Not a Karen in sight. The men who served us were humourless & crass. Not the fun we expected. Concept is good but execution was unnecessarily offensive. Not suitable for under 16s.
