meet the team

For most organisations their strength is in their people and THE BOG is no exception. Our staff are a good mixture of full timers, some on their O.E. and those working part time to supplement their study.

The Bar Crew

The team is an experienced and lively crew who have a lot of fun and believe in providing excellent service to every patron at the Bog with a smile, and a welcome back on your return.

A mixture of nationalities.
Cherish, Mel, Andy, Cathriona, Hanna, Meek, and Blair are some of the crew you will meet.

The Chefs

Robin and Michael are our team in the Kitchen and both love to create dishes that have Guinness in them. They are great at catering for functions both large and small.

THE Entertainers

irReverend BAZ- Thursday Nights

irReverend Baz holds a party for Bar Brethren each time he performs. Never without a spare mic in the pulpit, Rev Baz has brethren laughing in the aisles and singing along to his handed out hymn books ... 'Highway to Hell', 'Living on a Prayer' ... old testament or new, Rev Baz pulls it into perspective with themed mini sermons throughout the night. Avarice and greed, love and lust, all get the inside running with the good Reverend.

Taken from a recent sermon,
" brethren, you may feel chastised, ostracised, lionised and demonised ... well good people, here in the house of love there is emancipation, elevation from the degredation, explanation and justification of your situation, indeed you can be extricated, rejuvenated and emancipated, not forgetting Pro-Created... "

No matter the flavour of your saviour, the Rev Baz will lead you in communion, turn your sins to dust, offer you hands on healing in the forgiveness room.

A night of comedy and music not to be missed.

LINDON PUFFIN- Wednesday Nights

One time frontman for mid 90’s glam rock band ‘The Puffins’, Lindon has been steadily building a reputation as one of the countries most unique & entertaining solo performers since striking out alone at the turn of the century. Performing around 100 shows a year in all manner of venues, from cafés & bars to festivals & town halls, he has an uncanny ability to read a crowd, draw them into a show and entertain them with a wild mix of upbeat originals, unusual covers & hilarious banter. Likened to a cross between the Billy’s Bragg, Bailey & Hicks! Puffin performs a manic cabaret of a show, abusing a variety of instruments including… Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Banjo, Harmonica, Mini Drum Kit and his infamous Kazoo - on which he imitates entire epic guitar & sax solos! Fortunately though, it’s legitimised by a stunning voice & great songs.
