    According to my sister they are not renewing their license next year so tomorrow night will be their last night trading....

    Was closed on Saturday just gone, even though it was meant to be open. Nearly sure it's open tomorrow night though.

    I was there on Sunday night. The bar seems to be still open but the hotel connected to it is closed.

    Its closed for business and on the market if you wanna buy!.

    Nothing to do with school girls or any sort of licence issue's, it just wasn't making money pure and simple.

    I've some great memories from Karma, myself and a mate worked the doors of Karma and its neighbour Darkey Kellys for about five years.

    Great staff & customers.

    Arse. That was a great spot. A shame, i would have thought they were getting a lot of business with the 3 euro deals. I sometimes specifically went there after work just cause i knew it was cheap. Otherwise i wouldnt have had that after work drink!

    No loss tbh, it was a dirty, freezing cold hole, full of scumbags and druggies

    They were getting the business, but that doesn't always translate to profits.

    Major Tom's went the same way.

    I like Karma, it was unpretentious & what you see is what you got.

    The manager & general manager, Noel & Johnny were good guys, luckily both got some employment out of it but mostly the staff are out on their ear.

    One of my mates was asking was I heading there tonight, she said all her mates were heading there because it was opening back up. I'll have full confirmation tonight (if I can get someone to post up for me) or tomorrow.
