    There's a lot of that kind of inconsideration going around. I work next door to a hotel that closed for a while. Pretty much every week we'd get people in asking about, some of them just off a plane saying that they'd had reservations etc. Nobody rang/emailed anything.

    That's a shame

    Good spot for lunch and you'd think they could do very well with the IFSC next door

    Grand place for after work drinks too and they'd lay on free food if you had good numbers. Ok lots of places do this but it was welcome

    Always seemed to have a reasonable trade too. Then again you never know if thats enough to meet the overheads. Obviously not in this instance

    Thanks for the replies to the posters above. Haven't had a chance to respond until now but thankfully I managed to get a part of Messrs. Maguire booked for the party at the last minute.

    Shame to see the place close alright, as I always enjoyed a pint in there. However, we only made the booking on Monday, which according to the info above is the same day it was wound up. I can understand them not mentioning the pending liquidation to customers but surely it isn't too much to ask for them to have made sure they had a contact number for me in case they had to cancel the reservation.

    Quite right. Manners cost nothing. Hopefully it will reopen as another pub pretty quickly as its in a great spot.


    Speaking of which, has searsons reopened?

    No, unfortunately Searson's is still shut..no indication of what's happening there. Shame, I thought most of the staff there were great.

    Searson's is part of the Thomas Read group which has gone into receivership.
    Diageo has the lease on the property and are not willing to lower the rent, €8000 a week.

    Yes. I did read that despite this ridiculous rent price, the pub was still turning a profit. Hopefully the asking rent will come down, as happened with the bailey, and someone will then be able to reopen it. The only good thing about the upward only rents is that if a place does close down, the new owners can then agree a completley new rent price. But as you say, if they wont budge from 8k its gonna be hard to get someone in.
