Hopefully they move the draught Guinness equipment to another location?  Having said that the restaurant that was there before them did little real business and moved to the sunny side of the street.

If it is closing, it has suffered the classic dilemma for a bar or restaurant owner.  If your premises is up some steps/stairs or across the road from the main flow of punters or somewhere in the back streets or the back of beyond, you will not attract customers in sufficient numbers.  No matter how attractive your frontage or how good the food or beer is.  In my experience that is an iron law, well with some notable honorable exceptions such as the Mozaic, the Shine, The Royal Oak in Borough, The Mitre in Brighton, The Rising Sun in Epsom and maybe Izelas in Kaya.

The Mitre in Brighton

One of my old locals (amongst several others in that area), a lifetime ago.

Yes its a real shame that its closing as the place was perfect and the selection of drinks good but it was in the wrong location by 5km,Calis sea front would have been perfect for it,not many tourists or expats did bother to go there when the views and food are better on the other side of the road. :( :( :'( :'(
