There are only two early licenses left in the entire country, and neither of them have a Co Galway address.

This isn’t true, there are a good few early houses in Dublin and at least 3 in cork. I’ve drank in two of the cork ones myself on many occasions in the early morning and they are 100% official and above board. I’m sure there are some more around the country too.

Anyone heard what happened to Maxwells?

Look 'em up on the list, and add what they're licensed for.

I hate to tell you this but licensing law in this country is arcane and highly specialised, you're not going to reach a correct conclusion based on 5 minutes googling. There are plenty of "early houses" on that list under the category of "7-Day ordinary" as that's the starting point for how they are licensed to sell shameful, ruinous booze.

Those files don't include which premises have a General Exemption Order (early house licence) in place. You would have to query each licence file individually if you wanted to ascertain this.

There are around ten early houses currently in operation in Dublin, but a few more premises may have retained the licence so as not to lose it as new ones can't be issued.

Walked past The Bodyshop earlier and it looks like it's being gutted inside. Hadn't heard anything about it closing down. I wonder is it gone for good or just a revamp?

westgolf

Refit/ revamp. There was a notice in the corner of the window at the weekend.

Bring back prohibition, much rather the coin flip on going blind from moonshine

What's happening with the new Dean Hotel construction site in Bohermore (formerly Shannon dry cleaners). Seems to be at a virtual standstill at the moment

Stevolende

Bodyshop is back up and running. Gone for a more minimalist look with white walls showing and I think more brickwork visible . Possibly had more shelving before.

westgolf

Sheridan's on the docks seems to have reopened, called ruibin or similar, was driving so not 100% on name.

Wonder what will replace it , big space

Why is it closing

When did River Deep/ Mountain High close? Drove past it today and it’s empty, note on the window but couldn’t read it while driving.

It moved further down the road by Dough Bros I think

Yup, in the unit that used to be Ella West hair and beauty. Took them a few days to get sorted, but open again now AFAIK.

Their Facebook says they will have new owners... So I assume, rebrand and open the doors again....

That's par for the course for all the night clubs in Galway isn't it?

The joke shop beside the credit union on mainguard st was getting fitted out today. Don't know if it's a refit or new shop. But something is opening there....

Sign up today when I passed, Celtic Tweed I think.

Couldn't get a picture but signage for the cinema at bailey's point is in place and great to see it finally come to life. Think I could also make our movie posters but will pass again at weekend for proper look. Must be opening soon.

Also big improvements in the car park at dunnes Knocknacarra and shorter journey now to the underground car park which should ease queues for parking.

Yes, a digital? sign on what I assume will be the front door area, showing a selection of current films and extolling the comforts of its various components. I saw some kitchen type equipment going in yesterday.

Storm 10

Looks like its opening today all shuttering is gone lights on and showing the Lion King

Seems like Hole In The Wall will be reopening under new owners.

It would have been stupid to change the name, one of the most iconic names in Galway.

Andrew00

Lovely

Although I can just tell by the new logo and banner in that picture that it'll be turned into one of them hippy bars like Caribou with all the gins and fancy drinks

westgolf

The premises that used to be food for thought was being fitted out yesterday. Cabinet type look so must be a jewelery or similar enterprise going in

Nope: Food for Thought is still open and trading.

the one is being fitted out used to be (Sonnys?) then HoneyBee Healthfoods, and then turned into (Molloys?) Pharmacy and Healthfoods a while ago - and closed unexpectedly. I posted a while back with a pic of the notice on the window.


Agree re likely use - they've been moving along very quickly in the last week or so, I reckon it may even open this week or next.

Unless they wanted a change of clientelle. Which wouldn't be a bad idea given the likely competition in the neighbourhood.

Agree with point about the new logo.

Thanks Mrs O'Bumble,😎 glad you got my back

Just checking but are you really sure?
Sad as it was one of the last true Galway spots left, another erosion of the city character.

Nah he's wrong it's the former health food shop up the way from there. Post should be removed really.

Mrs O'Bumble was first to spot my error and correct me. I'm entitled to one mix-up every now and then...

Am i right in saying Dunnes are extending into it too? Any idea how that would work if so?
