Night Club, Bar, & Pub Security

Night Club Bar and Pub Security is an essential part of any venue in Dublin. The first line of defense for many nightclubs, pubs, and bars is a Door Host. Stationed at the entry door, the Door Host who, regardless of title, is also a Security Person keeps order at the entrance, and checks IDs to ensure that people seeking entrance have a valid government issued photo ID, and are of legal age. They also deny entry to persons who are visibly intoxicated, or don’t meet the club’s dress code, or who are known to have previously caused problems, and/or been barred by management. Club rules and dress code should be prominently displayed in writing at the entry doors, and at the beginning of any rope-line. Tact, excellent communication skills, and a sense of humor and fairness are important traits to look for in hiring Door Hosts, and outside Linemen, who patrol and maintain order in any outside waiting “rope-lines”. Because they are the first contact with potential patrons and set the tone for each person’s visit, selecting these Door Hosts and pub security personal is critical for a good operation.

The next and final line of defense for most establishments is the inside pub security personnel (Floor men or Floor Hosts), often referred to as “bouncers.” The term “bouncers” presents an image of an untrained, physically large ex-football player or wrestler who handles drunk or unruly patrons by physically grabbing them and tossing them out the door. Unfortunately, this image is all too often real in some establishments. The actions of these often unscreened and untrained employees are what frequently give rise to subsequent injuries, deaths, lawsuits, negative publicity, and may jeopardize club licenses.

The true job of inside security is to deter patrons from becoming unruly. They do so by their visible presence, alertness and interaction with guests and staff, and observing and assessing all that goes on within their sight and hearing, plus their verbal and/or physical intervention if necessary. Deterrence and prevention first! Patrons should be able to have a good time, but, within established limits set by the club.
