    According to a post I read on metalireland.com the owner of the building brought Dermot Doran to court and has evicted him for non-payment of rent. However the full license has been re-applied for so possibly the owner will give it a go himself.

    My sister walked by there recently and said there was a skip truck backed in and they were throwing a lot of stuff out.

    Just saw that it has reopened with a fresh lick of paint and is now called "3 Crown Alley". I didn't venture inside though.

    Hmm.. wonder what it's like inside.. ?

    It looked a lot brighter than before. The walls inside are cream or white rather than the black and red of before. I might wander in tomorrow if I get a chance.

    I heard that they're dropping the rock/alternative vibe and going for temple bar irish music/ballads 7 nights a week. : /

    (A friend of mine who plays in an irish trad band was invited to go in next week and have a meeting with the management about the possibility of having a residency)

    Really? It was one place I kind of liked in Temple Bar even if it was smelly and dirty, the last time i was in there I did feel kind of ancient and I'm only 27 so that wasn't fun.

    I was in town the other waiting for someone so I called in to scope it out. €4.80 for a pint of Smithwicks is pushing it. The decor is gone all Sex and the Shitty. The Thin Lizzy sign is gone. The jacks have been redone (in the upstairs bit) and are kinda pleasant. There's a bottle of Red Breast and some other Jamesons behind the counter - I dare not ask how much a measure is though :(.

    There's no posters for gigs or anything. Looks like there's new staff as well. DiFontanes is still there but it's sectioned off now and the shutters are down.

    I think it's more than just a licence issue and a refit to be honest.
