“Even before the lockdown, the structural problems causing the decline of the Irish pub were already in place,” says one historian
was nearly two months ago, but shamrocks and leprechauns still decorate the windows of shuttered New York City Irish pubs. On the eve of one of the most profitable weeks of the pub year, in an attempt to stop covid-19 from spreading, City Hall closed down Irish pubs, along with other bars and restaurants. Some will never reopen.
Doyle’s Cafe in Boston pulled its last pint last year, ending 137 years in business; its owners sold its coveted liquor licence for a reported $450,000. Coogan’s, after nearly four decades in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, said it would close when it faced a steep rent rise in 2018. That prompted a public protest, and the owners managed to renegotiate the contract. Now the lockdown has done for it. It announced last month that it would not reopen.
Mike Carty, owner of Rosie O’Grady’s in midtown Manhattan, says he cannot see reopening his usually busy pub until October at the earliest. He may rejig the layout. Mr Clarke, meanwhile, will temporarily not allow people to sit at the bar. An Irish pub without bar service, he admits, is almost a contradiction in terms.
