"As always in this country money talks"

  Rumours swirled about The Clock's closure towards the end of last week; Dublin By Pub tweeted they had heard the bad news from a few sources, but we hoped that it wasn't true.

The Clock Bar's caption said the following:

"Hi folks with a heavy heart we closed our doors tonight for our final time we have gad some amazing moments we tried our best to keep it open but as always in this country money talks."

The whole area surrounding the the Thomas Street bar is being redeveloped, and unfortunately The Clock is not the first in recent times to face closure. https://twitter.com/dublinbypub/status/1626497144604569601?s=20 In their Facebook post, The Clock thanked all their friends and loyal customers for their support in making their dream come true. The Thomas Street bar will be sorely missed by locals from the Liberties. However, they did hint at their possibly opening a new bar, saying "till we see you all in our next venture thank you". Maybe time isn't up on this bar just yet; we'll keep our fingers crossed. Header image via Facebook/The Clock Bar & Venue READ ON: 18 things you should never do in Dublin as a tourist
