When did this happen? That’s not cool. I was going to suggest we headed there and went to the website to check out what they had on and was greated a message of “oh, yeah we closed.” I managed to track down an annoucement on Sheepish.net…
Bar Phono will formally cease trading on the 30th December 2005, which means that tomorrow night (Thursday 22nd December 2005) will be the last night the club will be open.
The reason the club is closing is simple: the eight year lease on the premises expires on the 30th and the Merrion Centre have chosen not to renew it, as they no longer wish the unit to be used as licenced premises (in other words, what we know as the Phono will not be reopening as another club, bar, restaurant etc etc in the future). This was formally communicated to the leaseholder today.
