Any news on Kinsealy inn .

It wasn't in the Allsop auction catalogue for May.

There has been people in and out of it during the day in recent weeks but all rumour at the moment.

Rumours it will be opening end of month. Again could be just rumours but here's hoping. I'll believe it when I'm in the pub sipping a pint !!!

Kinsealy son

Good news if true plenty of rumours at present hope to be having a pint there soon cheers

Sad to think I worked there on the opening night.

Heard it was sold on Friday .....anyone hear anything?

cantona66

looks further away from opening than ever. Saw one of the windows has been plugged all it takes now is some k*acker to throw in a petrol bomb and the building is destroyed. Sad as I miss the pub

As far as I know, the owner of the Cock Tavern & his brother, that owns Graingers on the Malahide Road, bought it last week.

cantona66

Wish it was true but it's still for sale on Morrisseys website and I thought the Grainger family owned the Graingers pubs or if not them NAMA as Grainger went bust??

Ah feic, that's what I was told at the weekend. Sorry for the chinese whispers!

ah sure it's easy to build the hopes up. Have heard too many rumours now at this stage. You never know you could be right. Hard to think there is no local pub for an area with so many houses and such a catchment area. Sadly people don't go out for a pint anymore the way they used to. If it ever opens again they will have to have a good food menu. People go to eat in pubs now more than for a pint. If it opens again I will be in the bar all the time, maybe an odd meal with the missus in the lounge

:)Bids were to be in by 31st of may hopefully some one bought it looking for around 800 grand lot of money for a pub closed since last October

cantona66

yes I agree, I think that was a mad price to ask for. Surprised if anyone would even pay half a million for it in current climate, it needs a bit of work on it, mostly superficial but it's closed 8 months and it needed a bit of a spruce up before it closed anyway. Plus general start up costs as well. Shame it's lying idle there. If I win the euromillions tonight I can guartantee you it will be open by the end of this month

Just to keep you up to date a consortium have a agreed to buy the pub, 100% confirmed. I know the guy who is going to run it. It will be a while before its opened contracts etc, and condition inside. Any updates i'll post here!

Without giving identities of who bought it. Are the people who bought it local?

The Kinsealy Inn is a local shop for local people after all.

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

Not really. Would obviously rather see it owned by a publican with experience and who will keep it a clean shop than owned by 4 or 5 "locals". Seriously would you like to see some of the local mouths with money involved in it? Barring people because they hold a grudge from school days or just letting any tool in the place?

Kinsealy hoop

Are you saying the rumour is a few locals bought it?

Am not saying anything of the sort, have not heard any rumours in ages and at this stage prob wouldn't go back there anyway.

Kinsealy hoop

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

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.

Kinsealy hoop

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

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.

Kinsealy hoop
