It's shut down right after St. Patrick's Day in 2024 when the public can retired, leaving it boarded up and tagged with graffiti ever. Since? Lately, things are looking up with those gray barriers coming down on Holloway Road and metal plates peeled off the windows, sparking real buzz. Online, local labor counselor James Potts spotted the changes and posted he's chasing updates from the owners to share with folks. Residents are hyped, flooding community Facebook groups with cheers like it's the best news ever, while stressing they wanted to stay a proper pub. Fancy overhalls. It's a community gem, especially for the strong Irish crowd around there, tying into local culture and history. Word from the neighboring archway tavern back in January confirms the owners are renovating and plan to reopen it as a pub this year. The spot dates to at least 1871, named for ale-wise and red caps, with classic vibes like

a pool table, sports on telly, and those. Original entrance tiles. Fingers cross this means pines flowing again soon, breathing fresh life into archways pub scene just like it deserves.
