By . Louise Boyle . A bar in New York has been forced to remove a sign reading 'No Irish drunks' after complaints from customers. The Dock Bar & Grill in Montauk on Long Island had a sign displayed in the window with a banned list which included 'Irish drunks' along with strollers and cell phones. After complaints were made, the owner George Watson, pasted over a replacement sign which read 'No Sensitive Drunks'. A sign in the window at The Dock bar in Montauk, New York read 'No Irish Drunks' along with no yapping mutts and no screaming kids . After the uproar, The Dock covered up the word Irish so the sign would read 'no sensitive drunks' this weekend . Mr Watson told Irish Central: 'If you spoke about any other religion or race they would probably take offense to it; the Irish have a sense of humor.' There were mixed reviews on the bar's Facebook page over the offending sign. Beth Wallis wrote: 'god sake people its the Docks sense of humor I think its a great sign. lol!!!!!!!!!!!!' Helen Milne added: 'Oooooh talk about limiting your clientele:(' However another, Helen Cangemi, wrote: 'People, get a grip! If you MUST be politically correct, please stay in the Hamptons.' Maura Donahue also quipped: 'I am beginning to think all this outrage is just an elaborate joke that I am gullible enough to fall for. Now that would be the Irish I know and love!' The Dock is situated in Montauk, a busy fishing town which is popular with tourists. The owner George Watson, a former New York City firefighter, bought the bar in 1973. He makes little apology for the bar's attitude - where anyone can be the butt of the joke. On his website he wrote: 'At The Dock, we feel that in order for a joke to be funny, it must be told at someone’s expense. We tell ethnic, sexist, and racial jokes - everyone gets their turn in the barrel.' He added: 'If you are self absorbed yuppie scum with a cellphone and ''free spirited'' children, go elsewhere.' Last week, an Irish cafe found itself in hot water after it put a sign in the window asking for 'no loud Americans'. Peter's Place in picturesque County Kerry posted the message which said: 'No bus/coach or loud Americans. Thank you.' The Dock in Montauk, Long Island has drawn negative criticism after its sign which some believe perpetuated stereotypes about the Irish .
