I saw a to let sign up on Gaudinos today, so looks like it's definitely closed.

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

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 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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

RevBlueJeans

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!!

I spotted on Facebook that a shopfront in Rock st had a lick of paint. It's called P. Commane's, and apparently it's a bookshop. I always noticed the name of that place but I never knew that it was a bookshop!? I'm confused, has that always been the case?

Erik Shin

Commane's was closed for years, but it was always a hardware store ?

Pirates Ale

Yes, P Commanes was a real old style shop that used to sell light hardware, kitchen utensils etc. The owner, Paddy, ran it until he was in his 80's and it then closed. (he died a few years ago)
I presume his son is now running it as a book shop, passed by it yesterday and the guy in there would fit the age profile anyway.

Ciarrai76

Speaking of old shops, there's one at the back of the shopping arcade that sells work shoes etc. It looks closed half the time, but I assume it's still in operation. Anyone know what the story is with it?

I think that belongs to Forans/Rock Inn.
If you want to buy a pair of boots, you call to the bar first (for a drink also possibly:rolleyes:)
