Has the Woolshed gone into liquidation?

Mate of mine put it up on her facebook status. Can't find any sources about it online bar this one;

http://insolvencyjournal.ie/search_result.aspx?IndexCatalogue=search&SearchQuery=woolshed

Any truth in this???

Eh... if it's in the insolvency journal I'd think it's pretty truthful...

Wow, that's one of the consistently busiest and (relatively) most pleasant places for a drink in the city; if they can't turn a profit, who can?

That's what I was thinking. Although it was a little empty the night of the Heino final.

There's an article in the current Phoenix Magazine about it. It's busto alright.

Yeah, liquidator was appointed on the 18th of May. It's likely that the pub will stay open under new ownership IMO.

The current owners, I believe, owe a significant amount of money to some banks.

well there is definitely a market for it to stay open.the place does be mobbed with punters for soccer/ rugby

So it definitely staying open? Im organising a going away party for myself and a gang i know from Dublin in August and The Woolshed would be ideal to have it, food and pitchers you cant go wrong
Hopefully it's open though.

It depends on whether someone buys it. Liquidation is serious.

Yeah, it is open but for how much longer?

RandolphEsq

Was it the pub not making a profit that let to its demise, or the owners' failure in other projects?

Probably 11 on a Tuesday.

That's horrible news. Do you think all the football supporters that went there will now turn up in other pubs in the area seeking a fix of televisual "banter"?

Thought recession wasnt effecting it, anytime ive been there its always busy, last time i was there was last October, i got spring rolls, nom nom nom!!

They turned away 50-60 punters on the night of the Superbowl because it was too packed.

It'd be shame to see it go!

They turning people away and it's in liquidation now? Jesus
Hopefully ill get another day there before i go to Australia, here hoping but say if the worst does happen, is there any other ideal places to go to with food and pitchers around Dublin City?

_sparkie_

no way could it be closed, i have spent way too much money in there for it to close down. its the DIT bolton street local

You all seem to be missing the point that just because the pub does good business doesn't necessarily mean the company that owns it is in good financial shape. It cannot be, liquidation is a very severe action to take.

The Living Room do pitchers, and food I think.
Whether it's good or not is a different story!

Also think The Bernard Shaw do pitchers and the pizzas there are deadly!
