MEET THE STAR

STARRING

ALAN

Chef, host, and — by his own framed awards — the rudest waiter in Dublin. Alan runs the Stage Door like a one-man show: the grill is his stage, the queue is his audience, and the banter comes free with every plate.

"Not a cafe — it's a mental health test."

— the house, on itself

Supporting cast: the tea boy on the door, the crew on the pass, and you — if you survive.

THE HALL
OF FAME

Survive breakfast and you might end up on the wall — the Stage Door keeps a Hall of Fame of the guests who laughed loudest. Some leave with a souvenir. Legends leave with a photo.

Encore: every performance ends with a lollipop.
