ok trying to figure out how many cafe/restaurant have gone since2008more info inside

magpie30

hi im trying to work out how many food outlets have closed and how many opened since 2008.
one factor is the upward only rent that may have casued established outlets closing. higher costs/gas electric and so on.

but on the other hand there has been a number of places opened and seem to be doing well.

i myself look to boards for info about restaurants and the like.
so im hopeing for a good response to this one.

one example would be the likes of say the bistro on patrick st hill,was going for a number of years,they closed its doors an now its opend back up with new people.

it doesent have to be one closing and new owners move into the place. but that is just one example.

i know boards is the hassel free way of getting this info.

cheers and thank you for your input

September 2012 is the last update on http://www.facebook.com/mintcafe.ie

Sorry to see another business went bust.

roxyworldgirl

I thought another cafe opened up in mint just never changed the name? it was under a womans first name as far as I heard? Thought I saw it on a fb page of someone supplying cakes good few weeks back

Tomorrow is BBs last day. Blamed on high rental costs the manager was telling me today.

I can't remember what it used to be called before.

Do you remember the little cafe down stairs? It's gone years and they did very nice vanilla slices. Then there was the Harvest (across the way), great chips and toasted sandwiches... is the Harvest still there?

Manners Restaurant, lovely place back in the day - first real cafe in the city.
Downstairs "the coffee Dock" and Mairead Cafe where Back of boots is now

harvest Restaurant across road beside "Trinity House"
and a lovely airy cafe in there too

God! how things have changed

Hang on a second, I was only in Brunch week before last and it seemed like business as usual- can you confirm its actually all closed down now, no replacement or anything??

Fraid so -- high rents, crazy rates, not enough custom to go round. The Bills mount up fast enough

I remember Mairead's well:D. Used to go in there on a Saturday as a teenager, amazing vanilla slices. The Harvest was great too, it was huge inside, had lovely lemon meringue pie:P
I can't believe Brunch is gone:(. Went in there a couple of times a week for a cuppa, the staff were so friendly. Plenty of room for buggies, you didn't get in anyone's way. I worked in there briefly about 20yrs ago, when it was Loughmans.

A few minutes after that was said, Billy McCarthy said the owner of La Blaa called in to say they're still open.

Do you mean the alley way off of the Quay that leads into George's Court? That'd be one way of getting to it. Though actually there is The Pantry in that alley way. Jesus, I never think of that place. Need somewhere else to go now Brunch is gone....

Hang on, so BBs (downstairs in George's Court) AND Brunch (upstairs in George's Court) are gone??

Brunch had THE BEST lasagne and chips With a big lump of coleslaw on the side!

That little newsagents beside BBs is also gone - George's Court will be empty!

Yep, The Pantry is still there:). It's easy to forget it is though, up that alley. It's been there for years. As far as I can remember you used to be able to get into the cafe through Chapman's shop on the Quay.

I'm surprised Brunch is gone they as always seemed to have a few people in there all day. Decent place for a quick dinner too. Im sad to see it go.

Maybe I'm putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5 but are George's court looking to close themselves? See no other reasons to be increasing rents and driving tenants out.

looks that way, even existing tenants are not getting leases renewed long term, just 1 year leases.... something up their sleeves!!!!
