    Rumor is rife that a crowd who own a few well run pubs on the north side have bought the place.

    More concrete then the above, my uncle was drinking in a pub in Clontarf on Friday and the bar manager is the guy who'll be assuming control of the Manor.

    There are some serious plans to refurbish the place from both renovation to management and staff.

    All very welcome.

    Ah it's pretty terrible. I mean it's grand for the odd pint because it's so close but it hasnt changed a bit since it opened in the 1990's bar the odd lick of paint.

    Word is Graingers have bought it who at least know how to run a boozer.

    All people want to see is an owner that cares, puts a bit of investment in it and hires new fecking bar staff!

    What other pubs do Graingers own?

    I was in the Manor a few months ago, it was a bit run down looking


    Be nice to see it done up, wonder will they start selling food?

    I really dont know a whole heap about them.

    Run down really is a good way to describe the place. According to my uncle the guy mentioned they are looking to creating a function room which will have catering facilities.

    I dont think food would do well as there is lots of choice around but the ability to put out goujons and chips would be good.

    Yeah, I think they've emerged from that as far as I know...enough to buy another pub in receivership :D
