    Roll up roll up, word is 2010 will see three more inns go to the wall. Anyone care to take a stab and perhaps offer a reason why they're not doing so good. I must stress it's only a rumour now but its quite a believable one considering the nature of the pub business and the premises invloved. That should make it a little easier.

    A rumour that 3 pubs are going to close and it that this has been decided which ones? lol

    Now if I had to guess the next 3 to close I'd say.....

    The GreyHound Bar

    The one on Emmet Street that changes name every 4/5 years (no idea what it's called these days...)

    The one on Parnell Street at the top of Anglesea Street (Ryans?)

    Emmet St? Gerrards? The Office? Among others. Aint been a pub there in ages, and as someone else said twill take more than a recession to close Kehoes......

    Sean Tierney's was one of the places that's rumoured to go in the New Year. Been there as long as I can remember, but no one going in there now apparently. Food gone downhill so I guess he's had enough after the years.

    Allens, or Devanes as its now known, also one heading for impending doom. No loss either if it does go. Unfriendly place. Waste of a fine space however.

    I'd believe it. The place is always quiet. It's been dead every time I'm in there, so much so we just leave...and abuse the person who made us go in there!

    Can't stand Liam Daly's either. The price of drink in there is incredible.

    I've no idea which might close.

    I hear Lonergans is supposed to be back open? Maybe it's a temporary thing and could close again.

    Yeah the price of the drink is pretty saucy in Daly's alright, a fine Guinness is served though for a quick one or two quiet ones. Its quiet in there a lot too but I doubt they would be thinking of closing the doors somehow. Family run, been there for ages, no recent renovation costs etc.

    Tierney's, Devanes are the favourites in the market anyways! Devanes 2/5 and Tierneys 5/6.. :D

    See while Daly's may be a quiet spot for a few drinks, it's too quiet for my liking. The place, in fairness is huge and wide open! The seats can be a bit of a nuisance too. But they're petty complaints!

    I can't see it closing down though.

    DuM where are you getting your 'sources'? :D

    The grapevine of course, where else!!!

    I did hear when Lonergans closed that they had the option of reopening if all the debts were sorted. I dunno its current status however.

    A couple of weeks after they 'closed' I heard that a couple of friends where in there. No idea about it at the moment though.

    Liam Daly's is a trip back to the 1970's (albeit with 2009 prices).
    I would guess it's a pub in Irishtown...

    Jury duty? Is that what we're calling "the accussed" these days. The countrys gone shocking for PC titles.

    Tierneys used to do a huge trade in the 1990's.
    I worked in Clonmel during the early 1990's and Tierneys food was superb and very very busy.

    Obviously Sean's found it hard to get the business during the last few years?

    Nah I'd say Chawkes is safe as houses. But seen as you asked we'll chalk it up at 16-1.

    I would say that Chawkes is one of the busiest pubs in Town.

    Yeah it does a steady trade alright as far as I know. I only go in there the very odd time but its a decent inn. The main gripe I have is when I stand up to go to the bar or the toilet I have to duck the head. WTF with the low ceilings like! I'm no giant either.
