The Nursery Tavern will be closing on St Patrick's Day
A well-established Coventry pub will soon be closing its doors for good. The Nursery Tavern in Chapelfields will shut for the final time on St Patricks Day (Sunday, March 17).
The Nursery Tavern is a traditionally-decorated pub that has stood proudly in the city since the 1800s. It will now be closing for the final time next weekend with the owner saying it was 'time to move on to other things.'
It comes after the city-based pub took the decision to close on Tuesdays as they were struggling with 'staffing and energy costs.' Pubgoers said they were 'saddened' to hear of the closure of the much-loved pub on Lord Street.
A spokesman for The Nursery Tavern said: “Just want to let everyone know that next weekend will be our last weekend at the pub. St Patrick's Day, we will be open and that will be the final night for us.
“We have loved having you all in and part of the pub - however, it is time to move on to other things. Please join us to see the pub out and of course to drink the bar dry! Thanks to all who have supported the business!”
Customers have been left saddened by the closure which they described as 'a shame.' Helen Skipper said: “I am sad to hear this. Hopefully will still see you all. Good luck with what comes next.”
Craig Gillin said: “Such a shame pal after all of the hard work.” Paul Forbes commented: “Sorry to hear that, I wish you all the best to the future and your next adventure.”
It's more sad news for pub-goers in the city. Last month, Flannellys on Holyhead Road was put up for sale.
