This Pub is Permanently Closed

This had been a very Irish pub on the corner of Holloway rd, the sign also said Sweeneys previously it said O'Mara's. Opened in December 2014 as 'Treats' cafe and cake shop and is now a Starbucks coffee shop (June 2016). Amusing (?) that Admiral Taverns, the former owners, were given "Community Pub Operator of the Year" title at the Publican's Awards.
