    Shane connolly is bringing down Jona Holding. He is bringing alot of businesses down with him.

    So jona holding is going into liquidation. Does anyoneknow when the creditors meeting is? Can only creditors go to this meeting?

    Never witnessed a company going into liquidation from the inside.

    Obviously 6.80 wasn't enough for a bottle of Koppaberg in the cellar...

    Cuba was great recently since they got rid of the bell end Head doorman, he <invoked strong opinions>

    You're mad for the details evoke! :confused: Like a vulture hovering over a wounded animal..!
    Does anyoneknow when the creditors meeting is? Can only creditors go to this meeting?
    So which grealishs owns the Celler ,903 and cuba?
    What other places are in trouble? do you have a list?
    Anyone know when the creditors meeting?
    So the list of closing is:
    Harvest
    Cuba Club
    Bar 903
    cellar
    Who owns them then?
    Why did it close down? is it in examinership or liquidation?
    does anyone know who owns these places and the exact places shutting down?

    EDIT:

    With the above in mind, interesting post over on this thread.... :p Got plans?!

    They'll have stayed open through Christmas for the holiday revenues, to run down stocks and because all the bar exemptions will already have been paid for since the 1st of December. January's the second quietest month of the year in town and they'd have had to pay for the month's late bar/club exemptions up front so it makes sense to close now.

    Sorry state of affairs for the staff, but on the bright side - it'll make room for four more badly needed Charcoal Grills.

    If Cuba stays closed for a while it will scupper Charcoals plans for world domination.
    I presume the main reason they located there is they had a guaranteed revenue source from Cubas clientelle.
    Was never a regular of Cuba cos they always made me take off my cap but I feel sorry for the staff of the group :-(

    As i said already,cuba had NO problem with anything anyone wore aslong as you werent full of attitude/loaded with drink going in, just as a club should be.

    If dresscodes are an issue for people then grab your obligitory tommy hilfiger jumper and hit halo/cps/karma,lock.

    Whats with the insults for people who like to go to cps/halo its uncalled for in fairness.

    I dont like to see places shutting down and people losing jobs but cuba/903 are not places I would go to.

    Can't believe the immaturity of some of the above posts. Cuba wouldn't have been my cup of tea for the last number of years & I'd only be in the cellar the odd time but whether you disliked the place or the owners, it's a shame to see any business go to the wall.

    Staff have lost their jobs, I'd imagine some suppliers haven't been paid & there'll be a knock on effect for the likes of chippers/taxi companies nearby.

    Horrible to see people happy with someone else's misfortune.

    Regardless of the begrudgers, I'll miss the place anyway. Like most nightspots it wasn't everyones' cup of tea but I've had great nights there over the years. I know quite a few people who relied on the place for some or all of their income and actually liked working there. It's a shame for them.

    You must be thinking of a different cuba. It certainly hasn't been full of crusties any time I've been there recently.

    Why? Why are you happy to see people lose their job? So you didn't like the place, great, don't go. You hate the people who go? Guess what? They're coming to a nightclub near you! I look forward to annoying you with whatever it is that you didn't like about Cuba.

    Well I'm definitely going to miss all of those establishments, particularly Cuba and the Cellar. Cuba would have been my first choice of club in town (liked the relaxed vibe in there) but I know not everyone liked it and it wasn't at its best when upstairs wasn't open. It'll be pretty sad seeing all those empty buildings, hope they find people to take them on soon.

    Bit of a shame, haven't been in it in years but spent a lot nights in there when i was in college.

    Whether people like it or not, at least it was another place to go/see something different so now there's a few less options in Galway and the surviving pubs will have more potential customers and probably less incentive to improve :(

    Ah man, sickened :(

    My two favorite pubs and my favorite club in Galway. My best nights out in the city started in The Cellar and ended in Cuba, with maybe a few drinks in Bar 903 first. Did the old, "Go in, get a stamp, turn around, walk out" trick until Cuba filled out with people. Free entry, happy days.

    I liked the relaxed vibe of Cuba. No scumbags, no bouncers eyeballing your shoes as you walked by them and brilliant music. A decent mix of alternative dance and the usual crap so it suited most tastes. Then upstairs (if it was open, heh...) was always mad craic.

    Harvest is a sad loss too. Only Off License that stocked decent beers. Where will I get my Belfast Blonde now? :cool:

    Surely this must be down to poor management or something? Cuba never seemed any less busy than other clubs, and they never really had offers on drinks so must have made a bit more than the likes of Club K?

    That's two clubs in Galway gone in the space of a few months, which is weird because I haven't really noticed any less people going out than there was 3 years ago or whatever. Maybe it's not as profitable as it seems.

    They should have just not paid taxes like CPs!
