McGowan’s and sister club, Bad Bobs in Temple Bar, have invested in mobile ozone machines, which he says have given staff and punters a huge level of reassurance. “The industry is doing everything it can, the last thing owners need is to be put on a knife edge, they want to remain open. “We were really thrown in at the deep end. It was difficult and there’s always going to be a few teething problems, you’re putting in a queuing system that sometimes doesn’t work and getting the customers to listen to you explaining the rules is the hard bit.Mr McGowan said preparations to re-open the nightclub sector and plans for a ticketing system have been “an absolute mess”, meaning venues like his had to take safety into their own hands.
“Having these machines in place guarantees to our staff that the building is as clean as we can possibly make it.”
