My phone got stolen from my purse 10 minutes after I got here. When I went to the security, crying and stressed out- they shrugged and told me I should have read the sign “beware of pick pockets”. No sympathy- no concern nor any attempt of trying to help a customer whose phone just got stolen in their establishment. This happens consistently to customers here- and the staff does not do anything to try and fix it. I checked the location and it was in fact stolen in this bar. Don’t go here- your belongings will get stolen right out of your purse and the staff could not care less- scary and TERRIBLE experience.

Place was overcrowded and staff was still letting people in. You cannot walk at all, you have to push people to be able to go from one area to another. PHONE GOT STOLEN. Staff was not helpful at all, telling me to get out of the way instead of attempting to point me to someone to talk to. It sounds like this is a common thing in this place based on other reviews. Unable to call place at all. Terrible experience.

Horrible place. 4 of my friends got their phones stolen in there. Reading past reviews, it seems a common theme. The staff are not helpful and it appears that this illegal behaviour is part of their business. As an Irishman, I feel disgusted that my country is associated with such a place.

A black security guard work inside told me to move because a white girl wanted to stand where I was standing when I was standing at that spot way before there was a crowd inside enjoying a few beers so I will never recommend that place

My phone was stolen at this bar! No one would help or answer the phone! I called numerous times, no answer and no way to leave a message. Numerous phones stolen!! Security and other employees were no help!! Very disappointing!! I would never go to this bar again, it is TRASH!!! You or your belongings are not safe!! This bar should be shut down for illegal activity! The absolute worst experience ever! After reading other reviews, it happens to many people who visit this establishment! Stay away from this place!! I will be filling a report!! TERRIBLE

Like all the reviews I shouldve seen and read before last night say; PLEASE only come here to get your crossbody purse unfolded and unzipped inside pockets for your PHONE and WALLET to be STOLEN from it! IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. My phone updated location to it a day later and guess what.... no answer ever. Its GOT TO BE THE STAFF and/or OWNERS. The staff all either ignored my cries of fear and terror or told me sorry, it tends to happen here a lot and shrugged. A girl came walking up to her friend group right next to me not even a split second after my phone was taken saying OMG MY PHONE WAS JUST STOLEN!. wow. Definitely REPORTING this to the (BBB) BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU asap so they can investigate once and for all. I suggest all the people with similar experiences that Im reading about here please do the same so we can stop this.

Horrible! My phone got stolen within 6 minutes of me putting it in my purse. Staff didnt care- they point to a sign that says beware of pick pockets. Based of yelp reviews this is a consistent problem that they refuse to fix people have their phones wallet and keys stolen from this place. I will never be going back and i advice you not to or stuff it physically touching your body. Nobodies belongings are safe in this place.

Underage and people steal phones in there 1st time there and my phone was stolen by the end of night. They are theives in there and you cannot let your guard down. Lost all my photos because I did not have it backed up including some photos of my dead cousin that I can never get back.

The most I like about this bar is that everytime that im going i feel safe in every way, the music is perfect, the bathrooms are so Clean always and the owner and all the people that work there always take care about us! They always make sure everybody has fun and feels safe. Love it. Best Irish bar around!

Rotund white bouncer at the front with the combed back hair was extremely disrespectful, kissed a girl in front of me in line who was obviously uncomfortable, insulted my hearing disability and called me a slur- I’ve never been to a bar in the area and I will surely never be back. Come here if you’re looking for a horrible bar with nasty people. Avoid if you can!

Review №12

They consistently let minors in!!!! The doormen ask for their ID and they slip cash under the ID and they my get in. Two of my kids plus at least 4 others have gotten into this place multiple times! These kids could be assaulted or worse getting injured drinking and driving!

Review №15

DO NOT GO HERE. As a former employee this place is the worst “club” in Ft lauderdale. Not only does the owners wife knowingly let underaged kids in but, she also encourages security to ignore obviously fake IDs and let them in for the sake of “business”. Not only that but, security is also encouraged to discriminate people based on race. Security is told to not let in “undesirables” and make them pay a 10 dollar cover as the ownership let in lighter colored people in for free. Coming from a former employee This place is a disgrace, you can see on other comments the bar tenders (some) overcharge and change the tip after the purchase. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, it’s way to small and management is running it into the ground. This place should no longer be serving and liquor License revoked.

The security are good bc they don’t let to much people in so it’s never overfilled

Love this bar overall. Great time happening.it seems every time I walk in. Except for my last experience. I went this weekend when I had some friends in town. One of my friends had his phone stolen OUT OF HIS POCKET along with dozens of others. The bar attempted to act swiftly to alert the crowd and try to bust the operation which we appreciated. But my question is this. Why are you letting these people into your establishment, and why can’t you catch them? Don’t you have cameras? Secerity? Bouncers? Unsure when or if I’ll be back.

Review №18

Was the worst place ever in Fort Lauderdale! I would not recommend this place! The barkeeper and the security are working together to do what ever they want! They are disrespectful and don’t want to talk in a serious way! Just doing what ever they like to do! They laugh at you and disrespect you! Never ever again! I hate this place and will never ever come back again! The service at the bar is so bad! Hate it!

Review №19

I was charged more than the original check, never got a call back from a manager, the bartender was just ok, and the music was extremely loud.First of all, it’s really hard to reach them out. I found out they charged me more a few days after the night. I tried to call that place a few times and left a voicemail and only got a call back from a manager half week later. She explained she was on vacation. But that happens, that’s fine. Explained to her that I was charged 15% more than the original check and gave her all the needed info, she said she would look for it. It’s been more than a month since she said so and I never got a call back from her.The bartender girl was just ok, serving customers slowly.Also, the music was extremely loud, had to leave earlier than expected.FYI, all cocktails were about $12-$16 each on a Friday night.Never coming back.

I’ve been here before with friends and the times there were kinda fun but this place has a pattern with phones being stolen. my friend got her phone stolen and the bouncers had it. to get it back,they wanted her to give them $100. ridiculous. if you come here then leave your personal belongings at home. way too many people get their stuff stolen from their pockets. very unprofessional.

Review №22

Seriously don’t bring your phone in here my bestfriend has gotten her phone stolen TWICE here and nobody’s any help. seriously sick how often it is this pattern is showing that this is part of their business if u look at other club reviews it’s not like this. fix this there’s enough people to build a case .

I got my purse got pick pocketed here. Someone stole my credit card and ID right out of my bag that was on me. Getting a hold of them is hard no one answers & even asked the bar tender if they had found an ID or credit card and just ignored me as I asked. DO NOT ENTER THIS BAR WITH VALUABLES!!!!!

One of the best spots downtown. by 11 its lit, only times its dead is when downtown is slow. They are vary strict on IDs and sometimes with belts. so if you a man always have a belt Just in case.

I spend money without end! Buy one drink after another and in the end I get kicked out for no reason! I hate this club or bar! Its just a cheek and they are disrespectful to their customers! Security does nothing but touch people disrespectfully! Never again! Thankfully the nightmare is over! I will definitely go somewhere else next time!

Everyone complaining about getting they phones stolen like it the bar’s fault, you guys need to be more aware when you plan on going out, especially when drinking. Things can get stolen anywhere. Tired of people blaming the business, if you know you have valuable items on you then you need to be smarter.

I unfortunately got my iPhone STOLEN at this place Thursday night last week. The bouncer and bartender told me it’s really common for that to happen there, which is why I’m writing this post. If I had known that iPhones tend to get stolen at this location, I would’ve been more cautious or probably I would have never gone. It’s also just common for phones to be taken from you in Florida, but still! Like everyone knew iphone’s get stolen. It was a fun place but there are people watching you to snatch the next iPhone!

Illegal practices. They do not have free water. And they let people under 21yo drink alcohol.I remain anonymous to protect my safety from their shady bartender with the brown hair goatee.

Last night I had my cell phone stolen directly from my purse at this bar. I had a cross body bag and someone opened it and snatched it out then ran into the crowd. Bar security couldnt care less when I went to them and the manager didnt give me the time of day. It is unfortunate to feel victimized when you are just an innocent person trying to enjoy a night out. Also upon searching other yelp reviews and talking with colleagues it has been verified that this is pretty common at this bar.

Dont go here unless you want to leave without a phone. My phone was taking from my purse and my boyfriends phone was taken from his front pocket. I already knew that people steal phones here and had my eye out and was very careful. Even with that, these people steal phones like its nothing and you wont feel them taking it. Dont go here, maybe the business will actually do something about it then.

Dicey’s is great, my go to place in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Even though it does get pretty overcrowded, it’s always a fun time. The bartenders are quick and super friendly. The music is fun and up beat. Awesome place to have a lot of cocktails and let loose. Can never go wrong with Dicey’s when you are trying to have a good time.

Left my wallet there a week ago and am currently still trying to get it back. I’ve about 40 times and every time I’ve called no one has responded. I’ve reached out through Facebook messenger and there is still no response. I disappointed in the lack of effort the staff has put in to help myself, and based on these reviews, and many others.
