    Its supposed to be Dealz, but I've heard that it may have fallen thru within the last few weeks. No solid info, but the lack of follow up by Dealz on recruitment is a little worrying

    Even looks big enough for an M&S......

    Same as that - costs a fortune to travel and shop there. But worth every penny. Meet many Tralee person back there. We can only hope that they will come here eventually.
    Shame about the Brogue - need to look for another place for breakfast now.

    Dealz appear to be opening everywhere. Recently en route through Shannon I noticed that Dealz had replaced Tesco in Shannon Town Centre.

    It would certainly be nice if M&S open in Tralee town:)

    Not only would M&S attract more shoppers to town ,in addition they would attract other businesses and ultimately more employment.

    I didn't think so! I hadn't heard it was re-opening, so maybe they just saw work going on & assumed it was open again.

    The Abbey inn was charging the €5 entry at 11.50 last night, all the advertisements say its €5 after 12, the bouncer got thick then when I questioned it.
    Bad buzz!

    I suppose with Kirbys shut its one less late bar for them to contend with in the area. They believe they can squeeze the consumer a little harder because of that.
    Could backfire on them big-time

    The bouncers in there are on an ego trip tbh.

    I know its only €5 cover charge but I still cant see how they can justify this,Its not like they have live bands playing there.

    Any word on Hennessy's opening their new place?

    Experienced this also not so long ago. Me and few friends came dashing up for about 11.50 to avoid the charge and were told we'd have to pay to get in. I also questioned it and was given a lame made up excuse from one of the bouncers that "oh we charge from 11 since last week". Some serious complaint has to be made to The Abbey for this to stop it going on, wouldn't be surprised if it happened to many others too who just accept it and go in. Who knows if management are even aware of it or if they are its blatant false advertising!

    Seems quite a few people are miffed at this. Bit of a stir on Facebook too.

    I avoid the Abbey on Friday and Saturday nights. Its ok on Sunday nights and its free.

    Plenty of other places to go that have a late bar on a Saturday night and don't charge anything to go in.

    Within the last two months there has been an awfull change in the abbey, the whole charging before 12 business has been going on for the last two months, when questioned its the normal broken english response.

    Then you have the influx of nothing but kids in there, I mean literally kids 17 and under.

    Now when you pair these together bam you know that the abbey is dieing a slow death and struggling to make a profit so charging before 12 and leavimg kids in is a sign of desperation.

    Digging a hole for themselves, the abbey could very well be the next bar we talk about closing, lets hope not.

    An over 23 bar is definitely something the town needs.The over 25's was very handy in Fabric when it was open.At least there'll be more choice instead of heading to the same spots on weekends.I'd be surprised if the Abbey have the audacity to keep on charging a fiver when Hennessy opens.

    The Abbey have some of the most rude & ignorant door staff. I haven't been there since November & won't be back anytime soon due to them ruining my birthday night out & even after a complaint to them from me by email through their FB page (which I saw a read receipt with the time & date), they never replied. I've heard so many stories of how they treat customers, and none are good. They would want to start copping on a lot! I think they forget that its the customers who are keeping them open!!
