I was in Gracies a couple weeks ago on Saturday night & the place was nearly empty,most of the customers being in the resturant,Didn't know Hans had lost control of Gracies,where did you hear that?..
A friend of mine was in the Salty Dog a few weeks ago & she said the food was dire,cold & even the bacon she got was microwaved,even getting a complaint resolved was like pulling teeth...

Was very interested to read all about Jeffers, Grace Neills and The Salty Dog. My parents bought a gift voucher as a Christmas present for £50 from Jeffers just before it closed!! Can anyone tell me the best way to go about getting their money back or a least registering that they are owed money.
I was walking into the Salty Dog just before Christmas and overheard two customers standing outside asking a bar man if the name was going to be changed so I knew something was up. Then when both Arthurs (son and daughter) were in Gracies for new year I knew there must be a problem with The Salty Dog.
Its such a pity there are so few decent places to eat in Bangor I agree that The Salty Dog was overpriced. Went there a couple of times but wouldn't go back.
Grace Neills is one of my favourite pub/restaurants and I would hate to it change or worse close!

Not going to happen, given that Jeffers closed up owing some of his suppliers thousands of pounds.

Gracies closed at 8pm tonight for 'staff training' according to a post on Facebook....Something I cannot recall them doing in the past...

Speaking of Jeffers, his book is being sold off cheap in Tesco if anyone is interested? £12.99 down t o£4.99 and it's signed as well. Must be a bargain!!!!

Jeffers is subject of a Creditor's Petition in the Bankruptcy Court on Friday 20 January.

They are dropping like flies!!! Apparently Rioja has also closed its doors this week.

All the good restaurants in Bangor are closing down. The only ones that seem to be surviving are those which are incorporated in established bars. Donegans, Jamaica Inn, etc....

Sad times.

Sammy Wilson says such negative talk costs [STRIKE]lives[/STRIKE] jobs...

On another point, I also heard that the Flagship Centre in Bangor is to be demolished. (Don't quote me on that as I am not sure if its fact or rumour).

Seems like it wasn't that long ago since it was built.

And the number of discount shops is getting a bit much. Maybe Bangor should change its name to Pound City! lol

Anyway, that's my rant for this afternoon out of the way.
