THE CLOCK PUB ON THOMAS STREET
I decided to visit Thomas Street in order to photograph the Clock Pub which is scheduled to cease as a business tomorrow Sunday 20 February 2023.
During the Covid pandemic 349 pubs in Ireland ceased trading but there are many reasons for this and one is that many pub owners had, for various reasons, decided to retire or they received an offer that they could not refuse.
The Clock on Thomas Street is closing because the building has been sold.
WILL CEASE TRADING 18-19 FEBRUARY 2023
This is the oldest photograph that I can locate of this once very popular pub on Thomas Street. I only have one other old photograph.
A few days ago I was in the Thomas Street area and a local who was interested in my camera and the history of the area mentioned that would have my last chance the get the best pint in Dublin, at the right price, on the weekend as the Clock Pub [including the whole block] was to be demolished.
Today, 18 February 2023, it was mentioned in some publications that the building in which the Clock is located has been sold and that the pub would close this weekend [18-13 February 2023] and that the future of the site as uncertain.
WILL CEASE TRADING 18-19 FEBRUARY 2023
I photographed this pub back in December 2018 as I was in the process of photographing Guinness clocks around the city.
