You should be happy that you will have a local after all irrespective of who owns it!

True.

I think it'll be interesting the first few weeks to see all those who were barred under the old reigeme coming back and causing havoc.

The new owners will have to also somewhat entice the old regulars back who have now become acustomed to walking to Swords or jumping on the 43. On any night in Swords you can see the Kinsealy Inn regulars scattered amongst the Lord Mayors, The Estuary, the Star and the Cock Tavern. In saying that, the first heavy fall of rain will probably get them back.

Lets be realistic here, if it was open tomorrow the regulars would be in there by lunchtime.

Why the interest if you'll never go back again?

Never said "never" and as next poster said will be interesting to see how they handle all the knobs that were barred previously. Regardless i would prob not go there for the first month or two till they had a handle on the place.

Kinsealy hoop

Whatever way they handle will be better than the previous owner

Very true also.

As a former agreeved employee of the old reigeme I would not darken the doorway of the place whilst that person was still the owner.

The Scientician

cantona66

What?

cantona66

I'm a boll*x, i'm sick of the pub being closed and have heard nothing for ages and it's getting me down. It should be open now during this decent summer we're having. I made that up hoping there would be replies like -where did you hear that, it's opening in 2 weeks or sale has gone through, refurbishemnt work to start in August!!!!

It has been sold but they still have to get through all the legal crap of signing building and licences etc over. Then it will pretty much need to be stripped out and refurbished so expect sometime around Halloween is my best guess. PS i miss my pints too:mad:

cantona66

a sleeveen way to fish info but desperate for the place to be open. Jaysus it's worse in this weather. I'd love to come home from work, walk me dog in the sun and pop in for a pint. Hope it does open for start of football season or near after and hope they do refurbish it and it does well and people appreciate having a pub in the locality a bit more

Yeah would like to see them do something with the front part maybe wall it off and create a half decent beer garden/smoking area

Then you;re into planning and a further delay. Would be best to open it as is and then make the changes.

Annual licensing is around August. Fire and Guards have to be happy with arrangements and then judge will grant license so unlikely to be open for start of Premier League.

Open for All Ireland final would be a better prospect, especially with Dublin lifting Sam

browner85

Any news on whats happening?

Kinsealy hoop

Legals, planning issues, and refurb spec delays, don't expect it to be open by All Ireland Final, you should realistically be looking at shortly before Christmas. Inside falling apart, roof etc

cantona66

nothing but the usual whispers, it will be open by October/November etc. Even heard they have started refurb inside which is obvioulsy not true. This is like Rooney, Suarez, Bale transfer sagas, better off ignoring all rumours and believing it when we see physical work being done on it

Kinsealy hoop

Time to unfollow this thread getting bored with smart comments etc etc, obviously some people need a drink more than others!
When i have an update it won't posted here anymore

cantona66

if you have info that ends up being correct I'll buy you a pint first night you are down there after it reopens. Can get a pint anywhere, just a pity nothing at the doorstep the last year

Kinsealy hoop

The last few threads I have put up have been completely accurate, who bought, owners, delays etc etc

cantona66

fiar play, anyone can put anything up and some people would do that for the craic but if you say it's genuine then fair enough will take your word for it. I'm not too pushed when it reopens just that it does eventually (I don't mean years away!!) and the offer stands, i'll buy you a pint when it reopens

cantona66

The status on Morriseys Auctioneers website for Kinsealy Inn was "sale agreed" for last couple of months at least - it is now listed as "Sold" hopefully now there will be some movement in the near future.

bumper234

Work started today

cantona66

great stuff, hope they give it a good facelift and it's open in the near future

browner85

Supposed to be open for the end of October

TheBlock

Just noticed the new Owner outside. He runs a boozer down my old neck of the woods Ringsend "The Oarsman" which is a nice local with decent food and pints. It looks like this will be a well run ship! Great to have a local again!!!

lapua20grain

a lot of skips being filled looks like the are pulling the place apart hopefully they do a good job looking forward to having a local back:)

Did anyone manage to get to look at the planning permission sign located between the two trees near the bus stop.

I wonder what it's for?

Nothing exciting. Something to do with signage and I think a parapet to hide the plany equipment on the roof.

peteb2

Yep. New hanging sign and some cladding.

That site notice is likely legally invalid due to the date being completely wrong (4 digit date put in a 2 digit field). He'd want to get them changed in case of a busybody!

cantona66

any date's mentioned for reopening?? people have said end of October but reckon there is more than a months work to do till it can open, even if it is just partial opening. Hopefully will be up and running a couple of weeks before christmas, be a shame for new owner to miss out on christmas market, great time to establish the new place. Shame for locals as well who would like a local pint at xmas or be able to drop down for a pint with visiting friends or family

Kinsealy hoop

Was supposed to open end of October but has been put back til end of November

cantona66

Yeah I thought as it is now it would be more than a month away till opening. End of November still good, hope no more delays and all up and running in time for Christmas period

Kinsealy hoop

With the planning in this could easily delay things

cantona66

yes very true, there are often unforseen hold ups with planning, contractors, hold ups/problems with building/fitting out. For me personally I'd love to be able to go down around Christmas for a pint but for the new owner, who I don't know, I really hope it is open before Christmas so he can get off to a good start
