I guess someone had to call time on the Brewery's intransigence. These pubs that are beyond walking distance will always find it difficult unless they offer something that its work driving for. Neither the Waterfall nor the LA did. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. The Waterfall was certainly worth driving for. Did it many times for the excellent food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not the view of enough people though. Yes it was good for a time but then reality kicked in and it was clearly struggling at rue end. Very sad for both places, but life goes on as @Observersays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Waterfall was done for as soon as the Breadners threw the towel in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how is that any different than from when it was open?! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Alf was going to get a grip of planning regulations ? This has been yet another Manx disgrace. The Britannia in Ramsey still stands empty too; damp, rotten, cold and infested with rodents after ten years. Also the pub in Port St Mary (name escapes me) - though ir has a For Sale sign up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Waterfall is a loss- nothing now along that stretch of coast (the most beautiful in the island IMHO) and with good food and selective hours, could be a destination 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an idea that Bushy's used to run in it - but I think it changed hands as it was pretty grim when I visited about 5 years ago. Seems like a good location for a food place but not a great place for apartments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
