Even after years of going there, you’re still finding new areas. The lil’ granny living room, the cloakroom all the way up the stairs… What other delights lurk inside?
2. You happily suck down €4 Gail Platt cocktails even though you’re not sure what’s in them
All the better, says you!

12 things all Workman's regulars know to be true
1. You’ll never know the true size of the place
Even after years of going there, you’re still finding new areas. The lil’ granny living room, the cloakroom all the way up the stairs… What other delights lurk inside?
2. You happily suck down €4 Gail Platt cocktails even though you’re not sure what’s in them
All the better, says you!
3. And you have blamed those Gail Platt cocktails for the horrors you faced the next day
CURSE YOU GAIL.
4. You’ve tried to be cool and hang in the house/hip-hop room, when really you want to dance to the Arctic Monkeys downstairs
Can I live?
5. You claim to have been there when Morrissey appeared at a gig in 2011
Who’s to know if you were or you weren’t? You might have been, and that’s all that matters.
6. You witnessed the Great Jake Gyllenhaal Panic of 2012
On May 3, 2012, actor Jake Gyllenhaal was ‘spotted’ having a pint at the Workman’s, and Dublin Twitter promptly went into meltdown.
The rumour was never proven, but that didn’t stop everyone making a beeline for Wellington Quay on that fateful night.
7. And you got a selfie with Dean Norris of Breaking Bad fame in 2013
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Who didn’t, in fairness?
8. You’ve made a holy show of yourself on karaoke night
Everyone, make way! You know the lyrics to Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush and you’re not afraid to use them!
9. And talked absolute SHITE to people in the smoking area
Partially because you thought they might be a member of a band you like, but you couldn’t be sure. You can never be sure in Workman’s.
10. You’ve definitely tried to look indie as f**k for the Somewhere? photographers
“Oh me? I’m just lost in the music. Not posing at all.”
11. And soldiered on through those wedged Saturday nights
12. But as much as you complain about it being ‘full of eejits’, you’ll keep going
That’s love, folks.
