    I'd doubt it. Was it connected?

    Yeah it looked like it was,the bar staff would serve in both the off licence and pub,and there is a door going from one to the other.

    Best of luck with it.

    Twister vics is fairly close to the cinema, so maybe you can do something that links in with people going to the cinema, or leaving. Maybe some advertising in Storm, or some cooperation for mid-week.

    If you drove into town, had 1 pint, and then watched a film would the alcohol be out of the system by the end of the film?

    the limit is 2pints 3hrs to clear it out, handier bring a flaggon in flix :)..

    Or some aldi mini bottles. I remember watching scary movie 2 with a load of bottles. Left thinking it was the funniest film I had ever seen. Until I watched it again sober.

    Was it a planned closure? Was up there on Friday and it certainly didn't have the atmosphere of a place that was going to close in a few days time - fire lighting and regulars chatting away!

    At 8:30 on a Sunday night in Oskars they were drinking away as normal. At 9 o clock it was closed...

    Dunno if it was planned or not...who knows what goes on behind the scenes

    The off licence was doing an absolute cracking trade, I'd find it really difficult to see the O/L closing too.

    Wasn't long ago when the owner was telling us all about a new nite club they were opening that would be a breath of fresh air for the city

    yeah I remember that, that's why I was even more surprised to hear you say it was closed down.

    Sickening thing is I only really started stopping off there for one in the last few months. Went in there the night of me stag too and it was some laugh.

    Pity to hear

    Walked past Kitty's, think I saw a sign saying it will open up under new management. So it'll prob be up and running again soon enough.

    IIRC the old cinema had a similar sign when they closed down. I took it then as a prevention to stop someone doing over the place but then again maybe they are reopening. Point being, in this climate I wouldn't count on anything.

    I think a problem with Twister Vicks is that it was too open plan. It needed a fair crowd to have some atmosphere.

    In contrast Geoffs has lots of nooks and crannies, so you don't notice as much when its empty.

    I think that has been the problem with a lot of the bars designed over the past decade. Oskars, Revolution, The Tower, O'Gradys Yard etc all look very bare when there's not many people there.

    The Bowery when it first reopened had allot of nooks too though. It was deadly, pity the place really went downhill thereafter.

    In relation to Kittys, The Ol and the bar are totally seperate. There used to be a door that joined the two and when it was leased previously both the OL and the bar were leased together. The last time Kittys was leased only the bar was leased so the two were not connected. The same gentleman still owns both business but had a falling out with the current lease holder.

    Passed by today and there were workmen in the bar and the OL was trading as usual. Hopefully the bar will re-open soon

    It has been bought, or so I've been told. Sean Johnston was the name given to me. He owns the Tycor Business Park, I believe.

    Just a rumour perhaps? I saw they painted it recently, but the For Sale signs are still up. I assumed the council asked them to clean it up. Been a few rumours over the years about apparent sellers taking it.

    Wonder would it re-open as a nightclub if it was bought.
