I think Cork still has plenty of character though - where else would you find a shop called "Gentleman's Quarters" on the main street?! Hi Sarah, I know what you mean.

How can they justify another retail unit, considering the amount being built at the moment, and the number of units lying empty for years on all the main streets? Units that no-one except the large multiples can afford to rent. Makes absolutely no sense and as a result, Cork is losing its character.

This Friday in fact. I really loved that bar. Anyone interested in going in there on Thu or Friday evening for one last hurrah and to thank the staff. Or most of them anyway. With a few exceptions the staff in there are wonderfully helpful and friendly and quite chatty. You feel welcome in the place unlike so many other places these days. What’s worse is that they’re turning it into a clothes store or something. Jesus. More here on Boards.ie too. Also more here and here. [...] […] As Tom notes, the Bodega is closing.
