The 12th Lock

angryIreGamer

Someone has just told me the 12th Lock was closed over the weekend?

Any information on this? Was it by the HSE for health reasons?

What's wrong with De Bruins? Food is quite good in there I think and pints are decent. Always a fairly good crowd in there. Best pub in D15 area I think anyway

I've only been in it once. Got food and enjoyed it. It's one of the best I've been to in the area, not that there's much competition.

That'll be Browne's, Castello Bruno, De Bruin's and 12th Lock all under the same owner.

If it's anything like De Bruns - I wouldn't have high hopes.

A digger appeared to be breaking up the decking.

And there was a guy in the car park cutting the wall between the car park and the railway! I will probably see the results when I pass by this afternoon.

They were power-hosing the car park and all seats under canopy were moved. Didn't see any work being done on the inside but could have been.

And yet it appears you kept going back. Glutton for punishment perhaps?

Was told that it had improved, and it hadn't. It stopped being my food destination of choice after the first incident.

With the greatest respect, why keep going back again & again if the food made you ill?

Ate there a few times myself & never had an issue, didn't win any awards but didn't stand out as being in anyway poor fare, average at worst I'd say, admittedly though hadn't been there in about a year before it closed.

It was our company's go to spot for taking visitors out for work lunches. Never got bad food there. There was never anything overly exciting but it was tasty and decent portions.

I almost proposed to one of their burgers one evening...

I ate there a minimum of once a month, and my in laws once a week.

Never got sick once.

There is no denying that the quality of food took a definite nosedive over quite a period before closure.

The hotel is kinda pointless. If they reopened as good quality gastropub with a bit of outdoor space they'd coin it. The old reputation for decent grub will fade away soon enough.

As far as I can remember, they originally could only get permission to open if it was a hotel plus bar rather than a stand-alone pub. Not sure if that would still be the case.

That might be solvable if the Bradys' redevelopment goes ahead.

Shame, it was a decent spot for a drink when the sun decided to rear its head alright.

ongarboy

I've no update but it's unfortunate that the area is missing out on a great beer garden canal side location over the last few weeks of glorious weather for al fresco dining/drinking.

memomy

Any updates on this?

Not sure if this is good news or bad.

Website seems back online. And telephone number from the website is ringing but no answer.
Was interested in accommodation for some guests. Anyone know if they are open as yet?

I walked passed it on Thurs and it was closed.
