Popular Laxey pub the Queens Hotel is to close on Friday.
Proprietor Gary Moore posted on Facebook this afternoon (November 11): “It’s with great sadness that I have to announce the pub will be closing this coming Friday for the foreseeable future.
“With the rising running costs and debts piling up and footfall into the pub dropping drastically over the past two years, I have been advised to close the doors.”
Good Times and Bad
He added: “I would like to thank all the staff that have worked here over six years. You were all fantastic.
“To all my past and current customers, we’ve seen good times and bad, but generally, what a blast it’s been.
“Hope I’ll still be about for a few weeks and hope to see some of you for a farewell drink over the next three days.”
