Oscars Pub for Sale

Trotter

Just noticed the for sale sign up there earlier. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for a buyer to emerge. I'd love to see it redesigned inside and opened again soon. It has the potential to be a pretty comfortable spot that ticks all the boxes of bar, restaurant, and cafe.

A few people, Flash included, as well as some people from further afield have expressed an interest.

Would be great to see it open again soon.

Trotter

Interesting! I'd love to see that central bar removed.. difficult to relax in a doughnut shaped room.

My money is on Flash buying it.

Adyx

Wonder if he'll want any staff. :P

It was an awful shaped bar in fairness. Island bars like that and the one in Muldoons take up an enormous amount of space that is just wasted. Masons as well actually, but that's getting moved soon I think. They are very awkward to run as well. The bar in the Junction - now that was a great bar to work in.

Great boost for the city.

lol over the past two weeks i have been told, not asked did i know, just told that flash was buying......Oscars,Ten,Sheridans and a couple of other non bar related businesses! waterford whispers are funny

abouttobebanned

Aye, but my money's not on those other places haha

820,000 for the pub any takers? I assume its the bank selling yea?
It would be madnes not to get rid of the round bar.
I hope it gets sold soon

Oskars is a lovely spot alright. I'd say it will be snapped up fairly soon.

Pardon the pun but bar it being inconvient to work in an island type bar whats peoples problems with them? Generally I like them.

abouttobebanned

You could be waiting to get served on one side of the island for ages. Also, people like to be able to see what's happening on the other side of the bar.

kryogen

they take up alot of space, can work in some places, not for others though. depends on the design of the pub

munster_mafia

Points taken, never noticed a longer wait personally.

Ledger

What i dont like about them is the fact they take up so much room in the place.

wellboy76

Hope they dont do too much to it or McCann will object

Yeah heard that figure but also heard that 400k would secure it.

abouttobebanned

400k tried and failed to secure it. As did 500k...

Who currently owns oscars thought bob tweedy sold it a year ago?

abouttobebanned

The Bank!

Which bank? It probably means we all own it

Bertie truly was a socialist. Even the Labour Party wouldn't have considered nationalising Oskars.

jayboi

any truth to the story thats its been sold? the lads from the toddles name was mentioned?

abouttobebanned

I heard that too. And then from someone else I heard that he hasn't even looked at the place.

jayboi

Any more news on this?

abouttobebanned I aim that question almost solely at you!

It's a strange affair to be honest. 3 interested parties. 1 of which has plenty of money and if he was really interested would have bought it by now. I thought it would have been sold by now but alas something is holding it up.

All three parties, or their associated bars, are known to us all.

No doubt its Angela Merkel! Shes had it in for us lately!

Yea i had heard about one family interested in it but didnt hear much more.

abouttobebanned

I'm definitely not in the know here but I'm constantly asking people who are to give me info. Either there's nothing to tell right now or people are keeping schtung.

kryogen

Been told over and over again that mr x mr y or mr z has bought it, still nothing concrete however. i only know of two interested parties and for one of them its not viable right now imo

The reason he would have plenty of money is because he isnt jumping into it perhaps? (is it you??? haha)
