Well folks just want to tell you all that once again we have fallen victim to a greedy landlord, weve had a tough couple of years as a reslut our landlord has decided not to re-new our lease and has given us the mandatory 90 days notice to quit the premises. Myself and Karen opened The Thistle Bar nine years ago, it’s been an absolute blast with lots of highs and lows, we had laughs and tears, met lots of amazing people who became good friends.

I can’t thank you all enough for your support over the nine years. The bar gave us our livelyhood and increased our family ten fold all of you have became good friends which we are so thankful for.

The bar will be close end of November. The landlord has put the entire building up for sale so no more bar at our venue.

Anyway before you all ask No we are not staying in Benidorm weve opted to return to Scotland where Karen can get more help with her health.
