I cant believe that rumour is true, but if it is then you better all, on the island, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye If offices on the IOM don't need Prospero, then you don't need offices. Which is not good for a Financial Services lead economy.. It’s not true as already posted before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will just fit a new footprint. I would be very surprised if it’s shutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy enough venue and ideal for an after work scoop but it is definitely not an Irish bar... What makes you say it’s not an Irish bar?

Some of the stuff on the walls completely gives that away. I think I mentioned this before and that it’s something they are working on. They also have a couple of decent Irish whiskies. By way of that it’s already significantly more Irish than O’Donnells which has been getting away with being called an Irish bar for years when it’s as Irish as Gareth Southgate.

They had their opening night in July, August, first week September, second week September, third week September, end of September. There were very few people, if any if you don't count the bar staff all night. I saw a coach load of Irish musicans looking for a drink and somewhere to play but the new bar had said they had just stopped serving. Personally, given such a fortuitous opportunity, I would have opened the bar but it depends on how serious you want to be. To be fair, O'Donnells, which may have plastic paddy motifs around the place, does have authentic sweary Irish drunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably the same sort of thing that if you buy a new car you suddenly see more of that make and model on the road, because you are more conscious of them.
