Mixing Business and Entertainment

Monday morning office conversations will entail the amounts of alcohol consumed over the weekend along with the following hangover.

When ordering a drink make men must order a pint or it is considered unmanly.

Also in an Irish pub each person is expected to pay for a round of drinks or it could leave a bad impression.

If invited out for a drink it is said not to bring up business subjects unless host does so first.

When hosting a dinner or lunch at a restaurant is it almost customary to drink wine unless Guinness or tea is preferred.

But at lunchtime, most business people will not take a drink.

Drinking forms a huge part of Irish Culture and psyche of the country…the troubles of the day and the world are generally sorted out over a pint.

The Irish are very difficult to impress; even if you do manage to impress them, they might not openly admit it.

Don’t break eye contact when someone is talking to you.

It is common for men to open the door for women, as well as employees and bosses.
