    Looked closed when I went passed today. Does anyone know what is happening?

    Hope they haven't become another victim of the recession :(; lovely place for a family meal.

    No way, are you sure? Saw a few people in the sands the other night- maybe it was a private party. It would be great if someone would take it on for the summer.

    Would be very sad to see this place going, was always a great pub and I remember on a Sunday during the summer the place used to be full to the brim.

    Completely revamped when the last owner sold it two or three years ago - I think it may have lost quite a few regulars....it was always a great spot though I spent many a summer day there in my youth!

    Sorry to say it, but I was always under-whelmed by the food in Rocketts. It always had a great reputation but for me never lived up to it. I tried it 5 or 6 times and gave up after that as I always left disappointed. Sorry to hear it's shut down though.

    Pity to see it gone bust, but the place had been going downhill for a long time - food wasn't great. Ribs were nice though.

    Yah it closed after May bank holiday i think. Not a surprise though, there was nothing happening there, was bleeding money id say. Good trade on a sunday but that wont pay for the rest of the week.

    It is a shame, used to be great craic in there. plenty of money went into it to revamp it too. another shirt left at the door...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34 jupiter85


    Does anyone know who owns it at the moment?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 796 ✭✭✭rasper


    John Rockett, I believe bought sometime after he sold the Seahorse on Strand St


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭STIG83


    You would think it be ok for the Summer to do well though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 796 ✭✭✭rasper


    who knows what is happening behind the scenes these days, but it was bought around 2007 , bubble just about to pop so gods know what kind of repayments are on it.
    pity more job losses and a nice location, hopefully someone else will take it on
