Is that the Denny lane arch way? It seems to be a bit of a problem all right. I have come across "members of the community" fighting among themselves on Denny lane. I called the guards who said the could se on cctv and for me to "walk on" and not get involved.

Yeah the archway leading to the Square. The main perp was apparently 'defending himself' as he was kicking the guy on the ground!!

If ever there was a town that doesn't provide a safe and pleasant ambience between the hours of 5pm - 5am it's Tralee

An older guy got beaten up at 8pm (broad daylight) just over a week ago in the Denny St archway by a gang of minority ethnic status (as I suppose we should call them now) youths. It was all caught on CCTV.......they are claiming self defence!!

I had to laugh when I saw the survey. It's ridiculous! We don't even have Gardai walking around half the time, let alone at those hours! It's one of the biggest problems imo.

Does anyone remember the Rock City Diner...

It was really nice but it was also very expensive from what I remember.
May have been one of the reasons it didn't survive.

I thought it was a mistake to kill the Allegro name (and style of restaurant) tbh.
We used to go in there a few times a year, but only went into Gaudinos once.

I agree, I went to Allegro often for lunch and it was always good, I liked the old place better than the new one. It was more comfortable.

I do! It was on the corner of Ashe Street, where that sweet shop was (now closed down). I loved going there with my mates. I was probably about 16/17 when it was open.

Correct! It was an American style diner iirc, with tasty chicken wings!

cute geoge

If the allegro stuck to the knitting it would be still on the go ,happen to ramble in there for breakfast around the time it went upmarket and got a lousy breakfast in a big fancy plate with a fancy price to boot .Well you can guess i did not darken the door again!!!

Food is a very competitive area in Tralee town centre. You really have to have something unique or be the best in the category you are competing in. Gaudinos and the old Allegro had/were neither of those things. Tralee doesn't need another Italian restaurant, Takeaway,Chinese or coffee place etc.
What Tralee needs is a food establishment that sits in the middle of a takeaway and an actual dinner restaurant. Something like a TGI Fridays or Nando's.

I just looked it up on daft, apparently it's for rent since February. It's a pity to see another town centre business close

To be honest, I've no idea what you're referring to there, but by the conclusions I'm drawing, probably best not to comment :pac:

Reports of it being a paramilitary bar and being used to clean drug money.... Strong rumour at the time, but it closed down before it came to anything

The Old Oak premises is a weird situation. You would think the owners would either lease it out or sell it. If the bank owned it then they would likewise be trying to sell it.
On that note and speaking of rumours, could it be a frozen criminal asset?

Was there ever any more developments on the Old Oak re-opening? Thought I heard that either on here, or around town last summer, that it was going to reopen as a bar and live music venue. Would be nice to see something like that, but not sure how much of an appetite there would be for it in Tralee

Probably just rumours. I've not heard a thing about it since.

As an aside has there ever been a successful business run out of the two units accross the road from Barry's on Rock st?

I remember there was a supermarket (Mace maybe) there at one stage but since that closed (early 90s?) nothing has lasted there for long.

RevBlueJeans

Old allegro, even older Stella and even older still Wimpy! There was an old cruel joke which went: Q. How do you know the Festival is on in Tralee? A. Because there is a crowd in the Stellla.

The sign on the front of Gaudino's stated that they were closed for the winter and would be reopening in the spring.

Has Gaudinos restaurant(old Allegro) closed down? Passed yesterday at lunch and closed.

I didn't even notice they had closed. That's a shame. They had done a nice job of doing it up last year.

I did a bit of a ramble around this morning to suss out various places. I definitely think the Roast house is a runner when they have finished the racket outside the door. Plenty of space in there.

I also checked out Dawsons which is actually very accessible as the lift in Heatons is huge so that might be really handy too and access down the laneway so avoiding traipsing around the town.

Thanks, I had actually looked at The Roast House, it has nice wide space going in and figured it might work or Benners was another option but they seem to have stopped using the coffee shop bit and all food is in the bar, might still work though.

I'm afraid Yummy is out for exactly the reason most people love it, this is an elderly person and not that tolerant of noise, I find Yummy hard work myself It's a great place if you have kids but if I want a quiet cup of coffee it's not where I would go.

True, the noise from the kids can be a bit much...and my own little 9 month old has started to get noisy when we are out! lol I'd say the Roast house would be good, although I wouldn't go in at lunch as it's quite busy.
