Shops/Businesses opening/closing down

I see Wooza pizza are opening up a new premises on Middle Street, where the old coffee place used to be, beside the Taibhdhearc.

With Dough Bros opening just up the road, it's going to be the pizza centre of Galway!

I wonder are Wooza moving or opening a second place?

Mrs OBumble

Dough Bros have a sign up outside the new place, and were getting photos taken there today. I'd guess opening there next week.

The Pura Vida cafe on Spanish Arch (the one with seats outside) was closed at 11am today. No sign or anything, but seems like an odd time for them to be closed.

Quay Street food is now open. Separate daytime and night menus. Day is mostly Lebanese / Greek influenced, while night is a mix of that and Asian.

Sound, I'm a fan of Lebanese and Greek food

Anybody know anything about Harlowe? It's an American style burger place. Got it delivered from Deliveroo last week. Seriously good food.

Can't seem to find much about them online though. I'm guessing it's a food truck or something. Their Facebook page puts their location as Quay Street but I don't think I've seen anywhere new go in recently.

I'm guessing it's a food truck as that's what they're calling themselves on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/harloweIrl/. I see they're doing a pop-up at 56 Central this Thursday.

We got some of their food delivered by Deliveroo and did not enjoy it as it was stone cold. No surprise there as it was delivered to Salthill by push bike :eek:. That experience has completely put me off Deliveroo. In regard to the food itself, the wings were pale and rubbery but the burger would have been good if served at the proper temperature.

Deliveroos employment practices are a much better reason not to order from them http://www.independent.co.uk/student/istudents/deliveroo-strike-students-education-worker-rights-working-while-at-university-a7203651.html

I only ever see that poor guy on the bike when it's pissin out of the heavens

The burgers are definitely good when fresh. Best I've had in a long time. I like the fries too but they might not be to everyones tastes. Wings don't seem to be an option any more. Not a fan of wings in general so wouldn't be trying them anyway.

The Maxol Petrol station in Westside seems to be closed, not sure if temporary or for good.

marklazarcovic

he closed yesterday rather abruptly

Gadgetman496

He already has the whitestrand Maxol Station & now that himself & the wife had their first baby, he decided he was being spread too thin between the home & two stations.

He simply gave up the lease nothing more.

I'm sure it will be open again under new management before too long.

Have you anything to substantiate the content of that question?

biko

Let's drop that line of discussion, not on topic and could get boards in trouble.

That's a "boutique hotel" now, I can't remember the name of it but I think it's something like the Elm(s)

It's The Nest now.

Mrs OBumble

The Nest is calling itself a boutique "hostel" - but changing hotel prices. I can't see how it will work myself, but that's another story.



As the population ages, we can expect to see more nursing homes popping up. Today's standards (eg that people who live for years in a place should have their own room and ensuite) mean that many of the older ones are closing / closed and being replaced.

And n the Warwick's case, it will probably be catering to the same clients as before, just at a later stage in their lives :-)

Saw this place on the artist/interiors guy Dan Gardner's facebook. Very ...niche, hipster-ish decor, the reception looks like a building site with random planks of exposed wood hanging at angles over the desk. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Had a look on their fb and the rooms look comfy. They have new "dorm" rooms that sleep several it seems so maybe it'll be something for everyone price wise from now on.

Gotta hope they do ok!

They should turn more hotels into nursing home really. I heard from a taxi guy that the people out in the one that is now The Nest had a ball, out on the prom,going for coffees, always going in and out to town in taxi's for lunch, dinner, a drink in the evening, said they kept the taxi's in business during the bad years.
Sounds like they way to do it you can manage it once you're older!

I suppose it would be premature, or just bad taste to list Shannon Dry Cleaners in Bohermore?

Both, I'd say.
