    Apparently the owner told Paddy last Monday that he was closing the place and wanted them out by that Thursday. A lot of the locals have been in mourning or suffering with the DT's ever since.

    Ok, I'll clarify what I meant. YES there's Sheridans, but that's more or less just beside the Clybaun, but there's a big pub-less area in between the bars I mentioned.
    I was less dissing 'hotel bars' per se, and more remarking on the lack of ANYTHING now..
    Although Hairyfairy said Hanley Oaks is open after 5. I know I saw people hanging out there last week in front of it, didn't know if they were punters tho...

    I heard it was D.L.'s ex missus that said she was upping the rent. She got the pub (one of maaaaany) in the separation agreement. Paddy told her to go fcuk herself as politely as only Paddy could do. Fair play to him!

    Did the same thing happen a few years back with the Lantern in Ballybane?

    Good on him!
    I've some great memories from that pub. There were some brilliant gigs upstairs over the years.

    But, I heard that the rent had'nt be paid for several months!. IMO it was only a smelly kip anyway and if anyone was to take over then it would really need to be gutted and refurbished.

    I'd say a lot of the Westside Tavern crew will either go to the Westwood or to the River Inn.
