Douglas Hotspot East village Closes After Two Decades, But a Fresh Start is on the Horizon
For twenty years, East Village has been a beloved fixture in Douglas, Cork. Located conveniently next to the McDonald’s drive-thru, the restaurant and late-night bar became a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. However, the time has come for a new chapter. As of this month, the venue has closed its doors, marking the end of an era. “All of us here at East Village would like to thank all of our fantastic customers and staff, friends and family, for joining us over the years,” a spokesperson for the venue shared in a heartfelt social media announcement. While the closure marks the end of East Village as we certainly know it, the news isn’t all bittersweet. The venue will be undergoing a major transformation under new ownership. “As we are in that limbo legal period, we can’t disclose too much until [january 21] but as we say goodbye, and thank you to all our customers and staff, we look forward to visiting the rejuvenated East Village in a few months,” the social media post revealed, teasing exciting plans for the future. Before saying a final farewell, East Village is inviting everyone to a “farewell party” this Saturday. They will also be open on Sunday for the Liverpool v Manchester United football match, providing one last opportunity to enjoy the space before closing its doors to facilitate a smooth transition for the new owners.## East Village: Closing One chapter, Opening Another
