Wright’s Café Bar in Swords has announced its closure after 23 years
Wright’s Café Bar in Swords, Co Dublin, has announced it will be closing its doors for the last time on New Year’s Day after more than two decades in business.
The popular venue, which has been open since 2001, revealed the closure on its social media, saying it had some “big news”.
“The Café Bar will be closing its doors for the very last time,” they said.
“After 23 years of phenomenal success and multiple awards, it’s time for something different.
“Thank you to all our amazing customers, friends and staff who have made the Café Bar legendary over the years.
“We have loved making memories and celebrating the good times with you.
“It’s the end of the Café Bar era, but… watch this space.
“Join us for the last dance this NYE before we close on January 1,” they added.
Customers expressed their sadness upon hearing the news of the venue’s closure.
One person said: “Some great memories of great nights and I’ve made lots of friends here over the years.”
Another added that the venue was “their youth”, while one woman mentioned it was where she met her partner for the first time.
Wright’s Café Bar was previously recognised as a premier late-night bar and live music venue and was well known for its gastro-bar food, specifically its famous fish and chips.
However, the venue will have one last dance on New Year’s Eve, with a DJ on the night to say goodbye in style.
They are inviting everyone to come along, and if you book a table and arrive before 10pm, customers will receive a bottle of bubbly on the house.
While the café bar doors are closing, it seems there may be something in the works for a new adventure at the same location.
