On the other side of the street, caulfields appeared to be closed this eve

Orion · 10-01-2013 12:08am

Caulfields has closed early a few times because its been empty. The recent sale fell through because of some outstanding bills. Its only a matter if time before its gone for good though.

The sale of Caulfields has gone through. It is closed for a couple of weeks because of problems in getting a licence. Business was as good here as in any of the pubs in the town. An Indian restaurant is likely to open above Caulfields in February.

Orion · 10-01-2013 4:49pm

Must be a new sale - the last one was called off cos the title holders were insisting that the buyer take over debts unrelated to the sale. Business in there was appallingly bad. I was in there on a Friday night for a meeting - when we left the back bar was empty (10:30pm) and there were maybe 5 people in the front bar. Yet the same night there was a good crowd in both bars in Brady's.

Aww I love caulfields

Is mantra not doing food during the day anymore? Doors closed at the moment

Councillor · 11-01-2013 8:53am

ORION. It is not a new sale for Caulfields. Same owners as last October--Mahons

Closed now, and Crosshatch have their closing down sale signs up.

Doesn't appear to be. Drove past at 5pm yesterday evening and the doors were shut. Pity, their burgers were nice.

L1011 · 19-01-2013 11:16pm

Is the bookies down near The Roost closed? No odds on the window signs, shutters down on a Saturday afternoon and some form of notice in the window. Was driving past, though, so couldn't read it.

Councillor · 20-01-2013 11:22am

Yes Floods Bookies has closed. Too many bookies in Maynooth anyway.

L1011 · 20-01-2013 2:37pm

Two down from peak - there used to be two branches of Bruce Betting - but definitely does seem to be an oversupply.

Councillor · 21-01-2013 9:54am

I'm told that Caulfields is due to open this day week, 28 January

Oh hai · 21-01-2013 7:20pm

Any info on Mantra doing food at the weekends anymore? Went up two Sundays and they were closed. Best pub grub in the town

Councillor · 22-01-2013 10:21am

No word on Mantra. Bradys food is fairly good. They have a new Chef since October last.

SQ2 · 22-01-2013 1:07pm

Carraig Donn are expanding into the Christmas unit from what I hear

There's some work going on in mamma Mias. Driving by I saw a couple of Indian looking guys coming out - not dressed as workmen. With a bit of luck we might get a recent Indian restaurant.

Looks like it's going to be a bistro... the window has advertising for staff at the moment

Orion · 25-01-2013 4:31pm

A bistro could be good too - saw the sign myself last night.

Was walking by Caulfields last night and there's a sign on the door that due to it being closed Emmet Stagg's advice clinic is cancelled. Could he not just use Brady's or O'Neills instead?

Councillor · 26-01-2013 11:07am

With Caufields supposed to be opening on Monday there did not seem to be much sense in changing the Advice Service for 2 days

SQ2 · 02-02-2013 2:39am

Jesus, seriously, have you ever seen anything like it... The amount of businesses coming and going... Golden Discs slipped away during the week!

beertons · 04-02-2013 9:02pm

Did Caulfields reopen? Does anyone know who is taking it over?

Councillor · 05-02-2013 11:09am

Caulfields has not reopened yet. The Mahon brothers own it and the "word" is that they want to lease it out???

Are they the same lads who own Mahons in kildare town?

Councillor · 05-02-2013 2:46pm

Don't think so. They have a couple of pubs in New York. One of them was a very good boxer and they are from Kilcloon originally. Their father, Paddy, died about two months ago.

beertons · 05-02-2013 5:25pm

Wrong family so. Can someone let me know if they find out who is taking it over? I'd like to get the contract for the vending machines there, and would really appreciate a heads up.

Shop is still open, no mention of closing down, but no name over the door.

Sad to see golden discs go. Manor mills is starting to look quite empty now.

Oh hai · 10-02-2013 11:57am

Does anyone know what's going on up at Tesco with the new paths? Was hoping there was going to be something done to the old Tesco or are the new footpaths just paths to go over to the other shops?

Orion · 11-02-2013 1:33am

Anyone know when that bistro is going to open on the main street?

I believe within "a couple of months". Mediterranean grub.

That corner was ridiculous!! Such an impossible one to take neatly.

Ms. Koi · 14-02-2013 11:41pm

Great forum...the difference in the village in the 15 years I'm here is mad!

Moonbeam · 15-02-2013 12:00am

The difference in the 3 that am here is mad;)
I hope more shops open up in Manor Mills,it is a shame to see empty units.
I still want a pennys!!

Oh hai · 15-02-2013 11:06pm

A Penneys would do so well in Maynooth. None in the local area (Blanch and Naas the nearest) so they'd have a big catchment area and it's full of students, they'd fly it here! A Penneys going in to the old Tesco is wishful thinking but it would be amazing!

A cinema would do great here too.

Not gonna happen though

sweensie · 20-02-2013 8:05pm

Could anyone tell me if BikeTrax is still open? I live in Celbridge and only come through maynooth about once every fortnight so haven't noticed, but the website is down and so is the phone number so its not looking good.....

L1011 · 20-02-2013 8:07pm

Long closed.

Oh what a pity. Thanks for replying so quickly. Looks like I'll be looking further afield for the bike I want

Orion · 21-02-2013 2:53am

The owner got very ill and his son had no interest in keeping it going unfortunately. Is the bike shop in Celbridge gone?

Wheelworx in Lucan is good or for a more personal relationship I bought one of my bikes from Stagg Cycles in Lucan.

SQ2 · 21-02-2013 11:00am

Plenty of work going on in Mamma Mia over the last few days, sign was coming off this morning

Raminahobbin · 22-02-2013 12:36am

Think I saw a new charity shop across from Charter House today, in the unit Imprinta used to be in before they moved... was driving past though so didn't get much of a look!

Yea, it is a charity shop. Noticed it last week.

Staplor · 26-02-2013 9:13am

Drove past it this morning, "Jay Jay", supporting the work of the Irish Children's Trust.

L1m1tless · 26-02-2013 9:20am

I dont know about the Jay Jay in Maynooth but the one in Naas only gives 20% of the money to charity.

L1011 · 26-02-2013 5:12pm

County seems to be getting full of "Charity" shops run as businesses or run with extremely odd basises (e.g. giving cash to random people the owner picks). Would suggest people should support the pre-existing ones.
