Pub in Charlesland Shopping Centre (Superquinn) to be opened?

Surely not! You'd imagine nobody'd be shutting down a functioning pub (especially one that's not doing very well) for a complete re-fit and another name change, just before Christmas... Seems like madness.

the owner of the former Script building, and the management of the (former) Woodlands Lodge are not the same people - Woodlands Lodge merely rented the building. Perhaps the "Greystones Inn" is a new venture in the same building.

Noticed the new permanent sign that has gone up on the outside of the former Script building for "Greystones Inn". Anybody hear any word on an opening date? Surely it will have to be this side of Christmas?

Think this one should be put to bed. If anymore info becomes available we can start a new one.

Reopened.

The lease of the building in Charlesland has gone to the guys who had woodlands and they moved their stuff down their from Woodland also they have been out to auctions buying stuff which is also stored down in Charlesland building last I heard he was due to open just after xmas however my sources tell me there are issues and doesnt look like it will happen soon If I find out anything else will keep ya posted ......:)

I'll tell ya what I can when I know more...

sounds like there is no signed lease!...speculation of course.

Which Xmas are you talking about?

I think the moderator can close this again... Greystones Inn is open and there is no way anything will open in Charlesland - The rents are disgusting and makes me sick!!

Such a shame but such is life

It seems the hold up is with the lease. The woodland boys only want to rent the downstairs however the lease is for the whole place, ground and first floor. Ulster bank, the landlord, have to create a new lease for ground floor only. So potentially a small local bar which would be quite cool.

Ulster Bank own the property?!

Can't believe its almost 10 years. Charlesland is fine, neighbors are super and place is always immaculate but had I known the pub would not have purchased. It has meant taxi charge out and back when I want to go out for a social beer ;(
Should have known better ... location, location, location.
